OP, I'm not a fan of that font man... It's too hard on the eyes and the letter spacing makes it even harder to read.
Did you try it with a more traditional font like Impact? (if you're going for that bold headline look)

Second one is looking good to me, and yes third one looks a bit unprofessional so I won't suggest you to use that.

Good job. I'm actually in the same boat as you right now. I'm doing a different niche and spent a few hours on my flyer. The problem is finding a cheap print place. Most places I am finding are charging around 85-89 bucks for 100 flyers. Seems a little high to me for color on normal print paper, nothing fancy.

I did find one place online that was a little cheaper though. It was called docucopies.com . If anyone knows of a cheaper place that would be nice too

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.

I thought of this idea as well...i never did it, not yet anyway, only because i ran the numbers in my head. maybe, say, $40 for 100 copies. You get maybe, say, $1.50 for a conversion. You need to convert like 30 just to break even, figuring gas to and from printing place and walmart. The entire process may take an hour. So to make $10 an hour, you need to convert about 7 more.

That means you have to have at least a 37% conversion rate simply to break even and make 10 bucks for your trouble.

What do you guys think? Is my thinking right or wrong on this? I'm just thinking that 37% conversion in unrealistic, and thats not even making that much money.

Yeah I found a place that does decent postcard (4x6) sizes as well. Right now I'm doing regular 8.5x11 and printing them since that will be more cost effective to do a test with.

I'm glad to see others are thinking outside of the box as well and attempting some offline marketing where it's not over saturated

man congrats to you bro! im actually getting me a better printer to start this myself tomorrow.(for other reasons also) just got accepted into cpa and ready to take the plunge
thought about online printing but seems to high. i figure a regualar printer could print out atleast 190pgs per refil (my ink would be abt $13) and if not maybe a ciss system for the printer that should cut down printing costs drastically

I had 5000 flyers for a walmart offer and passed out over 200 with 3 visits to the site. My site looks bad ass, flyers too. I got them printed for pretty cheap, but I'm not sure why my response rate was so low.

Your font is not the most eye friendly.

Arial bold would beat it hands down.

I would also get rid of the "that's right visit the site below"

For "quickly claim your 1000 dollars by visiting the site below"

Maybe add something like limited amounts available. You need to give a flyer an element of urgency.


I would also remove the swearing, you will alienate some of the market with swearing, some freaks get easily offended.

Very Nice graphic, but I would suggest less text and a stronger call to action. Remember less is more.

I imagine using the store name would make this illegal in some way, I don't know for sure but correct me if i'm wrong.

Also the flyers looks nice, I reckon you should leave a little more space between the gift card and the text though, to put emphasis on the gift card.

maybe you should add "limited to the first 100 respondents" or something to give a sense of urgency.

Hahah, this is a great idea. I might try it with my site. All that I think you should change on your flyer is make the gift card images a bit clearer, although it might look fine once it's printed.

Your numbers are way too high.

Gotprint 8.5x11 Front color flyers 1,000 for ~80 bucks. Figure you need about 55 submits to break even. You just need .055% conversion. Offline works with a good design and a call to action.
