Flyers – some believe that with online marketing today, there’s no room for old-school marketing strategies. We believe that if done right, a flyer can be a very powerful advertising tool that can push you to take action from the moment it reaches your hands. An awesome, well-designed flyer will most likely end up on your fridge or on your desk, rather than in the trash.
One of the things we love about flyers is their versatility and diversity. Much like brochure templates, flyer templates come in many shapes, sizes, and layouts, and are designed to cater to different needs, whether we’re talking business, sales, or simply using them as an informational tool.
By now you probably have an idea of what type of flyer you need and what purpose it will serve, so all you need is a flyer template. So let's get down to business! Flyer templates are fairly easy to create, and the good news is there are a lot of free and paid printable flyer templates you can find online.

Types of Flyers
Depending on the purpose of the flyer and the amount of content you're thinking of including in it, there are several flyer sizes and fold types you can use:
1. Unfolded single-sheet flyer
This is probably the most common type of flyer—it's small, doesn't require high costs, and can be shared on the street, in mailboxes, on car windshields, and pretty much anywhere else, so it will also offer great reach. The standard size is 8.5 x 11 inches, but designers have a lot of room for creativity here, so they can play with different sizes and even shapes (round, rectangular, shaped in the form of the product they're advertising, etc.)
2. Tri-fold flyer
Similar to tri-fold brochures, these also include three even folds, are compact, and can include a great deal of information. They are usually used as menu flyers by home-delivery restaurants or as informational or advertising flyers by real estate businesses.
3. Door-hanging flyer
This is another cost-effective flyer option that many businesses choose because it puts the products or services they're advertising in front of many consumers. When designing this type of flyer, you should have in mind that it comes with a hole in the upper side, so it can be hung on the door handle.
4. Digital flyer
Whoever said flyers are outdated has clearly never received a digital flyer. Think of this as the modern version of the leaflet you usually get on the street, like the email is the modern version of the letter. These types of flyers are a great alternative if you're looking to cut some costs and if your target customers are likely to use computer and email.
When & Why to Use Flyers
Now that we are familiar with the types of flyers available, when do we use them? There is a wide variety of flyer templates available, depending on their use:
- Business flyer: promote your business, drive traffic to a website or social media platform
- Event flyer: promote a party or event and target exactly the type of people you want there. It can be a club event, a Christmas party at the office, a community event, and the list goes on
- Advertising flyer: promote a new product or service
- Sales flyer: promote a sale, or add discount coupons
- Informational flyer: present your business, products or services in an informative way by including what the business does, product features, or types of services
With so many tools available, creating a flyer has never been easier. Depending on your needs and whether it's a business, sales, advertising, or campaign flyer template, you can find lots of DIY tools online or download templates and edit them in Photoshop, PowerPoint, or Word.
