We must not assume that everyone has social media accounts, and if ever there is, we cannot safely say that he is constantly checking them. Hence, handing flyers is way better than posting your advertisement on social media sites. Also, consider those people who do not want to create an account on social media for personal reasons or to make the events of their lives private.

In this way, through flyers, you can connect with many people and you can practice your socializing and communication skills.
The flyers you’ve sent to the customers will serve as their reminder of your product or service or upcoming activity. It is true that you may be reminded through the apps on your gadgets but having a tangible paper that serves as your note is different. You can even pin the flyers on your doors or even on refrigerator doors!
When flyers are used as a promotion of an event, for example, a concert, these flyers can serve as a remembrance, especially when you are a fan of the band doing the concert or you just want to have something to keep from that event.
There are flyers that include promos, discounts, freebies, etc. Customers would surely grab these baits and bite the opportunity, availing these promos. On the other hand, companies will be benefited in the form of popularity and therefore creating a brand and making yourself known in the market.
Rather than paying for websites for your advertisement, printing your advertisements in the form of a flyer can help you lessen your expenses. Moreover, hiring someone to design your flyer is way cheaper than online advertisement or advertisement on TV. With this, you can spend that money you saved from other operating expenses.
Flyers, unlike online advertisements, are tangible enough for the customers to lay their hand on as people would usually love and appreciate tangible things. Also, with tangible things, people can get the feels on the surface of the paper and they can even write a note or something reminder on the flyer.
Because flyers are tangible and are handed by the hand, customers can get a personal touch from you and the flyers are handed personally. Connected with your client personally can provide more impact than those that are impersonal as they cannot feel that the advertisements were really for them.
As stated before, personal touch provides more impact to customers thus creating personal relationship to your market. Because of this, people feel that you and your product are so near to them and that your company is within their reach when they needed something.
Music flyers can be an avenue for artists when they are releasing a new album or they are launching their new song. Flyers are a great way to inform people about upcoming albums especially when people are anticipating the release on that year, especially fans. It also adds value to the artists’ name, and it can help people immediately recognize a singer or a group.
Flyers can also serve as an important announcement when there will be an upcoming concert, event, etc. The information to be included in the flyer must be complete and important notes should not be missed. Designs and proper use of fonts and correct way of highlighting an words for emphasis are also a must. The crucial points to be placed on an event flyer are the time, date, and venue. Other important information can also be added, but just make sure you won’t miss the key points.
Apart from releasing a new album and having an event, flyers can also be used when a new band is to be presented to the crowd, like when a certain band wanted their name to be on the spotlight. Flyers can do that work, too. It is so surprising that flyers can serve many things that are even beyond your thinking.
When a band wanted to introduce their new member even before launching an album or having a concert, they can also use flyers to inform people. It is a great thing that people will be aware of the new member first so they will anticipate for the performance of the new member and get excited to see the new set of members performing on stage.
Updates and news can also be given to the public through the use of flyers. This is an effective idea since the expenses for flyers are lesser compared to online advertising.
