What is a digital flyer?

Not familiar with digital flyers? Let us explain. A digital flyer is the perfect way to spread the word about a product, event, special offer, or other news. Remember old-school bulletin boards cluttered with papers? This is a modern online version of that.

Digital flyers are straightforward and highly visual – think bright colors, bold fonts with a strong headline, and an attention-grabbing CTA. They’re quick and digestible, making them easy to blast across social media, embed on a webpage, or attach in an email. Plus, they’re cost-effective and a fairly small time commitment.

You don’t need a graphic design degree to make digital flyer magic happen either. Issuu is your digital flyer maker, just waiting to help you cut through the noise and stand out online.  You can whip up a beautiful layout in seconds, embed it on your website with zero coding skills needed, and watch the traffic trickle in.

Why use a digital flyer?

Digital flyers help you tell your story to a wide audience, allowing you to distribute a message at scale. Whether that’s a promotion for your Etsy shop or sharing your child’s school bake sale to a Facebook group, a well-designed digital flyer makes it easy. Plus, you’re not paying to print hundreds of copies, so you save money in the process. Oh, and driving around town to staple flyers? Forget about it!

When making a digital flyer, focus on a single message. You have one page to engage your audience, so every word and image needs to serve a purpose. Be selective with copy and brave with your imagery. With Issuu, clickable links make your digital flyer shoppable, and seamless cloud integrations with tools like Google Drive or Dropbox make sharing easy.

With social media and SEO, the reach of your digital flyer is virtually limitless.

FAQs

  • A digital flyer is a promotional piece of content typically used to quickly advertise products and services or announce an upcoming event in one to two pages.

  • Similar to a traditionally printed flyer, digital flyers make it easy for readers to learn about a subject quickly, but they have the added benefit of being online. 

    Here are some ways you can make your digital flyers more useful:

    • Add relevant links as references to encourage further exploration. 

    • Include high-quality imagery to illustrate your topic.

    • Embed video to captivate your audience and increase engagement.

    • Write concisely and use an accessible font, so everything is easy to read.

    • Make use of headings and subheadings, so each section is well-organized.

  • While quite similar, the core difference between digital leaflets and flyers is the number of pages. Digital leaflets have multiple pages of content to share their message, while digital flyers typically only have one single-sided or double-sided page.
