Using bulletins, lines, and shapes will make the flyer feel more organized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"377\" src=\"https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FlyerDesign2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15054\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FlyerDesign2.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FlyerDesign2-300x120.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FlyerDesign2-768x308.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 <strong>White Space<\/strong>:&nbsp; More is not always better. Having too much content or too many photos will make your flyer look cluttered and less visually appealing. Whitespace not only makes your flyer look clean and organized, but it also can direct the viewer\u2019s eye to the correct information.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"939\" height=\"377\" src=\"https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KeepItClean.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15057\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KeepItClean.jpg 939w, https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KeepItClean-300x120.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KeepItClean-768x308.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 939px) 100vw, 939px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Remember the value of color contrast.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Color plays a huge part in how information is presented. If you have a light blue background, you would want to stay away from lighter text as it is harder for a viewer to read. But if you went with a darker blue, the lighter text would really stand out. Keep in mind that shapes and lines can also have color contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"377\" src=\"https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FlyerDesign3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15055\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FlyerDesign3.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FlyerDesign3-300x120.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FlyerDesign3-768x308.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use high-quality photos.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When using photos in your flyer, ask yourself, &#8220;How will this impact my consumer?&#8221; Photos can evoke emotion and impact whether viewers will use your services or not. High-quality photos also play a huge role in the design. You don\u2019t want one photo to consume your viewer&#8217;s time, so be sure the photo can lead them in a direction to your content. High-quality photos also make an impact on printing. Using a low-resolution photo can make the image pixelated and less appealing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Choose a unique point of contact.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a unique point of contact can not only determine if the flyer was effective but also let you track your ROI (Return on Investment).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2022 Landing Page<\/strong>:&nbsp; Lead your clients to a specific landing page. This is also an effective way to generate leads and build a database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Call Tracking<\/strong>:&nbsp; Having a unique call tracking number lets you answer the phone and immediately know what the consumer is calling about. Call tracking is known to create a high turnover rate for leads.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 <strong>QR Codes<\/strong>:&nbsp; Our phones and tablets are typically an arm\u2019s length away. QR codes are fantastic for instantly putting the information into a consumer\u2019s hands. For example, during the pandemic, many restaurants have gone digital by using QR codes to access menus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"939\" height=\"377\" src=\"https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ColorContrast.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15059\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ColorContrast.jpg 939w, https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ColorContrast-300x120.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ColorContrast-768x308.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 939px) 100vw, 939px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need a little help creating a flyer, don\u2019t sweat it.
