Check out my flyer.

Taradel will usually do 10,000 sixty pound full color glossy double sided for 300-400
 
use on the background a fading from #fff to #eee.... and you could add an additional space (" ") between the words of the big font... it`s very hard to read fast...
 
Promoting CPA landing sites by handing out flyers is a big-numbers game, as flyers are not supossed to convert well.

That's why I find full-colour printing not cost effective for this method. On instead, I would advice to stick to just 1 colour design (not necessarily black, as most offset printers don't charge extra for the most habitual colours: blood red, navy blue, bottle green...)
 
like a couple have already said have a call to action. Only 59 left.....and you must put an expiration date on it.....
I would use a post card.
I would play around with longer verbiage. My testing has actually been, more verbiage does better? I always thought the opposite, but the sales prove me wrong.
ie:
Last month we gave away 90 cards, they went in 2.5 hours. The retailer has only provisioned us to give away 49 this time around. They have informed us that this will be the last give away before the holidays. If you do not act now, this offer will be gone forever. We expect these to be gone in less than an hour.
1. Get to a computer now.
2. Goto www.xxxxx.com
3. Get your $1000 gift card NOW, before its too late.

verbiage need work, but....
 
Hey!

Writing here just so I can follow, and also to give some pointers!

I'm a graphic designer and have a few things to point out to you (please take it as critisim and nothing else!!!)

What do you want to come across as? As someone who actually WORKS for BestBuy correct? So the flyer needs to BE just like the the BestBuy Ads.

What does that mean?
Same font, same color combination, same 'graphics', and overall same design.

Here are three examples:

ads-Best_Buy-2005_11_18-1024.jpg


Just Google "BestBuy Ads"

And copy them.

Hope that helped???
 
Good places to put flyers like these:

1. Every other car windshield.(Iffy)

2. On the shelves through out the isles, under certain items.

3. On the bottoms of the carts, people coming in usually take out a cart. First thing they see before shopping.

4.
On the tables and chairs of the eatery.(If they have one)

5.
Benches throughout the store and outside

Less chance of getting caught, safely and easily to place. Minimal risk
 
hey good job OP!
Just be sure to give us feed back on the conversion rate of your experiment. :)
GOOD LUCK! :)
 
Wow 80$ for 100 flyers? It's cheaper to buy a $100 printer and spend 17$ to refill ink at Costco. Surely using ALL the ink would get you about 200-300 flyers.

welcome to the world of print.

B&W print will normally cost you about 20-30% of color. Can be less if you know how to haggle to a large enough block.

B&W and a colored piece of paper is you best bet.

I agree.

You must take this as a business and do proper tests with a decent amount of flyers (opposite to: 1-flyer-and-a-half, then sit down and study stats; which is nothing but wasting time and money).

Go to a small, local printer (they're usually the cheapest for low print run, B&W, small format). Ask them to print 4,000 or 5,000. Then you'll see quite reasonable cost/unit ratio.
 
I was just thinking that you could probably make a killing handing outfliers outside of Best Buy on black Friday. I know the lines outside are crazy long where I'm at. You could even put a qr code so they could check it out right there (you know they have to be pretty bored standing in line for hours). Hell, even throw on a blue polo and some khakis so you look like a Best Buy employee! Add something like "Black Friday Only - $1000 Best Buy gift card".

to add to the last post, layer them 4 up on a page (ie so each flyer is 1/4 of the page), and then just cut them (you can get a paper cutter for pretty cheap) and you've just dropped your printing cost by 75% as well....

What about the security outside the store? They'll pry kick you out once they see you passing out fliers.

That's true. I was also thinking you could go and just tape some fliers up in the parking lot, trash cans or whatever outside the building after they close for the day. That would definitely be better because you wouldn't be around when they realize that they have to do 500 surveys to get the gift card or whatever.
 
Check out PrintPlace- they seem to have some decent prices. 1000 4.25 x 5.5 single sided flyers for 41.00...


ND

I agree with Nesterdwarf, the fact that Printplace offers decent prices, the print quality is also excellent.

Nice design on the flyer. I think that you could stand a bit more white space. I'd off-center it so the card is on the left. The eye naturally follows a C shape from the upper right, down the left side and to the bottom right. The center and right-center get left out. Put your most important stuff along the path of the C.
