Pros

Inexpensive –

Flyers are the low-cost, effective approach to marketing. You design a flyer one time and make numerous copies to distribute. The vital point is you can get hundreds of fliers at a pretty low cost. Mainly, the flyers are distributed or posted on busy areas so bystanders of these places can see and get information easily.

• Easy way to Deliver a Message – Flyers communicate essential and relevant information in a compact form. The distribution of these flyers is face-to-face. As a result, the receiver can easily ask for any query from the distributor.

• Easily Produced – For making flyers, you only need ink, paper and design. It takes less time to produce flyers, and on the same day, you can launch them. Other marketing methods take days and months to get into the final shape. Here, professional designers are not needed but recommended.

• Physical Reminder – The advertising messages that we receive on the internet remain in our inbox, and after seeing them at once, we don't even see them again. But we put flyers on the table or desk or paste them on the refrigerators, which gave us the physical reminder.

• Easy to Read – Flyers provide concise details accurately, and it is easy for potential customers to read and understand them. The font and style should be legible for the reader. The illustrations and the information should be brief and short.

• Versatile – It's not only just a marketing tool, but it also provides a brand identity. In flyers, discounts, deals and coupons are also included, offering an incentive to the reader or your customer.

Cons

• Easily discarded – The flyer's design should be tempting, as dull and boring designs of the flyer make the reader throw it in the dustbin. That is why flyers have a low life span and have no long-term impact. Therefore, the headlines, font and design should be enticing and have the ability to gain the reader's attention at one glance. To make a prolonged impact, make your campaign consistent.

• Distribution – When doing mass distribution of the flyers, you should hire professional flyer printing and designing experts. Thus, it becomes costly and labor-intensive.
