So What Are Leaflets?

Leaflets are very short 1-2 page marketing pieces that are produced to present and promote products or services. 

They are designed to be throw away marketing pieces.  Affordable yet informative they can range from a 1 page 2 sided, to a fold out ‘pamphlet’ that can quickly and visibly give a message.

Walk down the street and you may well see someone handing them out offering discounts at a local pizza shop, prices for getting your driveway re-surfaced or getting your windows cleaned.

You may get leaflets put through your door about the latest labour candidate or a neighbour offering a dog walking service.

Why Would I Use Leaflets?

Typically leaflets are cheap throw away marketing items.

They are to either bulk market something that can be fitted onto 1-2 pages or used as hand outs in the street, at an event etc.  Cheap leaflet design is used by many small businesses.

There are many leaflet distribution companies that can deliver them for you either locally or to a specific geographical sector.

Generally speaking any company you can think of could use leaflets as part of their marketing mix.

How To Get Them Designed

Creative designers would simply get a spec from you as to what you are looking for, copy of any information that would go into it (say if it was a menu for a restaurant) and any pictures.

Finding An Expert

There are thousands of creative agencies around the UK, so finding a leaflet designer is not going to be hard.  

But it is advised to work with a local one, so that you can arrange a meeting with them to go over any details of the campaign.

It is always best using a local leaflet designer where possible.  This gives you a chance to visit their offices, chat to the designers and get a feel for what level of quality to expect.

Bear in mind that leaflets are not high end marketing material.  They are mass number cheap throw away pieces of marketing material where it is all about the numbers.  Quantity over quality for a change.
