What Makes an Effective Event Flyer?

by codegrape / March 4, 2020

Traditionally, when you think of flyers, you think of wandering around the city, stapling pieces of paper to poles. Alternatively, you might have bad memories of trying to hand out flyers to strangers with every person thinking you were trying to sell them something.

Though flyers are still handy when utilized this way, digital channels allow marketers to attract a much wider crowd.

If you’re hosting a show or event, you need an impactful flyer design that will help you promote it and generate more ticket sales. So, what makes an effective event flyer? Here are some key elements to include, which will help you grab people’s attention.

1. Easy to read text

While it can be tempting to use funky, unique font designs, it’s more important that it’s readable. There are a couple of things to consider here. Firstly, the color of your font should stand out on the page. If your background is an image, make sure the font is in direct contrast. Avoid using busy backgrounds that make your message hard to read. Secondly, avoid using overly scripted fonts or anything that people can’t see from a distance. Simple is better.

2. Be informative

Your flyer should give potential buyers all the information they need to know about your show or event. Don’t include useless information and be straight to the point. People have short attention spans, and if they can’t get the details that they need fast, they will move on. Essential things to include are the name of your event, the location, date, time, and price of the ticket. This is what will attract people. If it’s a digital flyer, make sure to include hyperlinks or generate a dynamic QR code that they can easily scan using their smartphones. 

3. Remember social media feeds

Everyone wants to connect on social media, so including social media hashtags or icons will instantly draw attention. People want to show each other all the cool things they are up to on their social media, and your event could be one of those things. On top of that, you can encourage people to get involved in social media by tagging your event. If you have a digital flyer, consider offering an incentive to share it, such as a theater ticket giveaway from TicketSales.com for someone. Use your flyer as a way to get your audience engaging with your event before it’s even happened.

4. Consider visual hierarchy

Anyone that views your flyer will read it top to bottom. Make sure you consider this when identifying where to include relevant information and visual aids. The most important details should be prominent, but you can include other graphics and text that help sell your event further. Be strategic in where you place this information, and make sure it represents your brand.

5. Watch for typos

Proofread your flyer over and over again. Also, have a few colleagues or friends look it over as well. Having a typo or grammatical mistake will instantly turn off any potential ticket buyers. If you plan on printing out flyers to hand out, you cannot fix this mistake once printed, so you must get it right the first time. Even with digital flyers, it can still hurt your reputation and cause you to miss out on a good chunk of sales.
