If you are interested in starting an offline business or already have an offline business to take care of, chances are you've already thought long and hard about what advertising methods you should adopt. This is a question faced by every business in the world and while many businesses use widely different advertising campaigns, many of them are still able to experience success with their methods of choice.
This illustrates the broader principle about advertising that the method is not really important, as long as it delivers results. If you find something that works, stick with it. If you like something, but it isn't performing well, get rid of it. It's that simple.
Now, one method of advertising that has been around for a very long time is a type of advertising known as flyer advertising. This is the type of advertising where you either have people handing out flyers to people that walk by them on the street, or alternatively the type of advertising where you have people handing out flyers through the process of sticking them in people's mail.
It is quite an interesting way to advertise and while the return rate is ridiculously low, what you are also going to find is that the people that are interested in flyer advertising and reply to the flyers are going to be super-responsive, because of the effort they have had to go through in order to get in touch with you.
Because of this duality of purpose, many people do not really know how to treat flyer advertising. Some people like to treat it as a failed method that should not be utilized, while for others it is the central pillar of their advertising strategy.
This is a difficult thing to wrap your head around; how can two separate and successful businesses have such a widely different view about a well known advertising method? Well, the most likely answer has to do with us going back and examining the advertising principle we developed in the first paragraph.
Different types of advertising work for different types of people, so regardless of what the other people say you are going to find times when the advertising methods will work for you and times when they won't. The only way to really find out if flyer advertising is good for you is to try it out.
Distribute some flyers on the street and some to the people living in your area. If you want, you can make them black and white and therefore only spend about two or three cents per photocopy. Then, after distribution, check and see how things work out. If you get more sales and service requests out of it than the flyers themselves cost, you should keep it as one of your advertising methods.
