Flyers are created to stir responses from potential customers, generate leads, and increase sales. They need to focused, direct and to the point. They should contain ideas and concepts that call for action from the part of the reader.

 While appearances are important, they are not everything. Colors and artistry on the pages are useless unless paired with creative ideas and thoughts that will stir interest in the readers and generate a high response level. Simply put, the flyer must give the reader an incentive to call, visit, or purchase.

The flyer's message must be focused on actions the you want your customers to perform after receiving the incentive. In other words, there should be concrete, and predictable actions, that customers will take after reading the flyers. Flyers are action initiators. This is an important fact to reflect on before starting the design process. By doing so, you are likely to see a profitable ROI (return on investment) once the flyers are fielded.

Since flyers are considered direct advertising, use a concise "2 second" message to deliver to potential buyers. Don't make your potential customers work to understand your message.

Sending out coupons on interesting flyers creates a nice "call to action" for customers. They will feel valued and important if your offer connects well with their needs. Knowing that they are given discounts for quality products is simply irresistible for them. In fact, any good flyer should contain something concrete that customers can interact with so they will take actions like "spreading the good word"or buying the products right away. Telling them that they can get rebates by using coupons in the flyers are good rewards that will prompt them to have a positive response. Customers need to be informed and given value, and this is exactly what coupons do.
