Create flyers to promote your housecleaning business.
Whether your business is just getting off the ground, or you are trying to acquire new customers, a flyer is a one of several ways to advertise or market your housecleaning services. Flyers are relatively easy to create and generally lower in cost than other advertising methods. They can be used to advertise the services you provide, offer a discount, or announce that you are expanding your housecleaning services to new areas. A flyer is an effective means of getting your message to potential customers.
Instructions
1. Make a list of the key points you wish to convey in your flyer. Important things to include are the name of your business and a contact number as well as the general message of the flyer.
2. Open your word processing program to a new, blank document. Begin by creating a heading. The heading gives an overview of the flyer's message. For instance, "TLC Housecleaning celebrates ten years of giving happy customers clean homes" or "TLC Housecleaning now available in your area!"
3. Make the heading stand out by choosing an eye-catching font and using bold or italicize features. The heading should have a larger font size than the rest of the flyer.
4. Enter the details for the body of the flyer. The body expresses the general message. For example, "White Glove Housecleaning offers a 10% discount for the month of May" or "Spic-N-Span Housecleaning offers whole-house cleaning services with affordable rates, friendly staff and environmentally safe products." Keep it simple and easy to read. Put in only the necessary details, do not overcrowd the flyer with unnecessary information.
5. Format the body of the flyer text by selecting a font, a font size and using bold or italicize features to set certain sections of the flyer apart from the rest. For instance, call attention to certain details like "quick scheduling", "affordable rates" or "fully insured" by using a bold format on the text.
6. List your business name, telephone number and website or email address on the flyer. This information can be located at the bottom, using a font size smaller than the rest of the flyer. Though it is necessary information, it does not need to be the central focus.
7. Search through your graphics or clip art collection for images that complement the flyer. Add graphics by selecting them from the collection and inserting them in the desired location(s). If your business has its own logo, be sure to use it.
8. Print a sample on blank paper. Verify that the printed information and text layouts are correct. Make any needed corrections to the margins, text or layout.
9. Print your flyers on colored paper. Bright colored paper attracts attention to your flyer. However, paper that is too dark may not show your printed text.
10. Save your flyer once it's completed so you can use it as a template for future flyers.
