If you have a local fundraiser or charity event on the horizon, you’re probably looking for ways to get the word out to your community. Despite the move toward digital media, physical flyers are still quite effective when it comes to promotion. After using a professional printing service to create your flyers, here are a few ways to help you distribute them and reach your audience. 

4 Ways to Distribute Flyers

1. Shop Windows

Perhaps the most tried and true way of disseminating flyers is by putting them in shop windows around town. Ask local restaurants, bars, barbers, and other businesses if they can display your promotional items. Do some research ahead of time to make sure you select businesses that attract the type of crowd you want at your event. 

2. Handouts

It also helps to hand out promotional items to passersby. After picking up the flyers from a printing service, visit areas of town that receive plenty of foot traffic, such as parks, bus stations, and farmers markets. Approach people politely and prepare to say a few words about your event to encourage their attendance.

3. Mail Outs

If you have extra money in the budget, mail out the flyers in attractive packages. Send them in bulk to community centers, churches, schools, and large institutions. If you want specific people at your event, such as public officials or philanthropists, mail flyers to them directly. 

4. Internet

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, post a scan of your flyer to all of your social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. You might even want to purchase sponsored ads that will increase your chances of reaching your target audience. Email the flyer to your contacts list, as well, to ensure the event is properly publicized.
