Anatomy of an Effective Flyer
Good flyer design follows a clear visual hierarchy:
- Attention-grabbing headline – largest text on the page
- Supporting subheadline – explains what it is about in one line
- Key details – date, time, location, offer details
- Visuals – photo, illustration, or strong graphic element
- Call to action – what should the reader do next?
- Contact information – phone, website, social media handles
