Flyer advertising...no description

[amarcd]

Hi,
I am thinking of advertising my business with flyers, its a hosting business. What are your thoughts if the flyers just contain business name and slogan and web address ....and thats all. ??

I'm hoping people will be curious and check it out!

Would be a risk, but I can only go from my own gut instinct and say, personally, I probably wouldn't check it out.

I think I would only take a look if I was already sat online, but the likelihood of that happening whilst receiving the flyer is probably quite minimal I would imagine.

Perhaps if you presented it in a catchy enough way it may make the receiver think a little bit more but, for me, not sure it would work.

I have to agree with dedwardp, the vast majority of folk would not check it out.

When people receive a flyer, you have only a few moments to make an impression. The first thought that passes through the mind of most potential customers is "What's in it for me?". If that's not immediately obvious, chances are your flyer will go straight into a bin.

Who are you going to give these flyers to? What percentage of the people you deliver to do you expect to need hosting and not already have it, or be unhappy with the hosting they do have? How much profit will you make from each new customer? Will this even cover the cost of printing the flyers?

Not a bad idea, but the leaflets would need to be exceptionally well targeted.

How are you planning to distribute, at random or at a specific tech event?

If it was done at random you'd be hoping that someone thinking of having a website, or looking for cheaper hosting, would be amongst the ones that happened to be curious enough to have a look.

It does seem very much a long shot to me?

Flyers are fun but it is much effective if you will going to distribute products that people can use everyday such as mugs, umbrellas etc... and print your business name on them.

Not sure if I would check it out. Maybe more information(call to action/sales pitch) might be needed on the flyer. As you said you might get some people who check your services out just out of pure curiosity but not sure if I would.
