Here are the different essential elements of professional promotional flyers. While it is a given that you can do pretty much anything in your own flyer printing, it always pays to include some proven design elements.

Such will make your output work. So get ready and read the list of items below. Make sure that you learn carefully each of these elements in printing and development.

1. Leading headline – This is the hook with the bait that draws in readers. Your color flyers should always have large headlines in nice clean letters inviting people to pay attention. Those headlines should have the key powerful words that your target audiences respond to and of course have that “teasing” premise that makes them want to read more.

2. Attention grabbing image - With the right kind of artistic, shocking, funny or even provocative image, a flyer can have a potent impact on audiences. They can even make a mark really, increasing the chances of marketing success. Just make sure that it is always rendered in full color and in high quality of course.

3. Promotional premise – Now, to keep people reading ...
... even after the main attractions, you should have that promotional premise. You should engage readers by telling them the possible benefits or gains they can get if they just read a little more. Will they get some kind of secret knowledge about something? Can they earn some kind of reward or maybe even get something that will help them in their lives? By attaching that premise in a subtitle or a small paragraph, you can finally make sure of getting the full attention of readers.

4. Product details – Next, you have of course the meat of your marketing message, the product details. This is the section where you explain what you are selling or promoting, along with any other incentives to get people to go for it. Make sure that you make this as easily readable as possible since you do not want to bore the reader with the non-essential details. Present to them the key specifications that they need that should convince them to go for your product or service.

5. Call to action – The real business end is the call to action. This part actually makes that sales pitch and tells people to buy now or act now. Make sure that you do not force people into responding to your offer though. Convince them that it is a great decision that they will want to do for themselves. Make this really light and friendly.

6. Response instructions – Most audiences need real step-by-step instructions on how to respond. It is a fact that people need being told to most of the time. Never forget to include explicit instructions on how they can actually respond to your marketing message. Give them a place to go, a number to call or even a website to view.

7. Audience value information – As a gift to your readers, do not forget to give them some sort of value content or information. This will typically come in the form of a small tutorial or maybe just a set of information that they will find useful. This would make your print material become more valuable, and of course more likely to be kept by your audiences for future reference.

These are the essential components you need to know. Make sure that all your custom flyer designs have this if you truly want an effective marketing campaign.
