A small sheet of paper that is yellow, pink or white in colour and contains a printed text that is information about a shop or restaurant that is serving in your area is called a flyer. Flyer is considered cheap and effective medium of marketing and is distributed randomly to all those who pass by. It can also be distributed to homes by placing it inside newspapers. This is done through hawkers who throw newspapers in homes. The text in a flyer is kept small and it has the intention to reach out to as many people as possible.
What is a Leaflet?
A leaflet is described in many sources as a synonym for flyer. However, a leaflet is also considered to have a better design and a better appearance than a flyer as it has better colours and more expensive paper. A leaflet is, therefore, costlier than a flyer and it is also bigger in size than a flyer.
