Flyers are a cost-effective way to create awareness and generate leads. Although digital marketing has been on the rise for years now, real estate flyers continue to be one of the most widely used and effective tools for promoting properties. They allow you to showcase a property’s best features in a visually appealing way.
But the catch with flyers is that a poorly designed flyer can end up in the trash so you must make yours stand out. Here are 6 practical steps to help you design a professional-looking real estate flyer which will definitely drive action.
1. Define your goal & target audience
Before you even start creating the flyer on any design tool, you must be sure of two things:
- What’s the main purpose of this flyer?
- Who am I targeting?
The kind of property you are selling – is it a luxurious property? Is it an open house? Or are you renting out an apartment? The goal here is going to determine the kind of design, tone and content you want to put in the flyer.
A flyer for luxury property will have elegant fonts, high end visuals – basically a premium look. An apartment rent-out flyer will have a minimalistic flyer but with more written information. A flyer that is advertising an open house for first time buyers must have approachable language and a call-to-action.
2. Choose eye-striking visuals
A visually appealing layout is crucial and an organised one catches all the attention. The design must have sections for images, details of property and contact information so that users can scan and understand it quickly. The more cluttered it is; the more confusing it gets.
Try using ready-made real estate flyer templates if you are short on time or design skills. These templates will give your designs a professional look and can be fully customized according to your needs. You get to change the colour schemes, adjust the layouts and add photos within minutes using the drag-and-drop editor. Use a contrasting color palette for elements that are to be highlighted such as contact details and price information – these immediately grab the reader’s attention.
3. Use high-quality photos
Great visuals are the key to selling the property. High resolution images that showcase the key features such as living room, kitchen, outdoor spaces – work best for flyers. The first glance can make the strongest impression so make sure it is an eye-catching and striking visual.
If your property’s photographs have distracting backgrounds, tools like PosterMyWall’s background remover can clean them up in seconds, ensuring that the property truly stands out. Authentic photographs build trust and give the potential buyers an accurate picture so it’s best to avoid stock photos.
4. Draft engaging content
The headline of your flyer is going to be the first thing that a reader will notice, so make it count. Boring taglines such as ‘House for Sale’ won’t grab any attention or boost retention. Try some catchy headlines such as:
- Dream home in the heart of the city!
- Location. Luxury. Lifestyle. It’s all here!
- Ready to upgrade? Your next home awaits.
- Turning your home dreams into reality!
It’s best to keep the body text concise and to-the-point and highlight the most important details such as price, size, location, and unique selling points. Use bullets or numbering to enable a quick view for the reader. Examples:
- 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths
- Walking distance to schools and parks
- Modern kitchen – Elegance redefinedÂ
Must do: End with a call-to-action like ‘book a viewing today!’ or ‘call now for details!’
5. Highlight actionable information
To make it effortless for buyers to connect with you, these details must be included in the design:
- Phone number
- Email address
- Website or QR code leading to a virtual tour – adding the QR code is an excellent and convenient option as it bridges the gap between print and digital media and takes the prospect straight to the online listing.Â
The call to action you are incorporating must be bold, highlighted, striking – basically easy to spot. A varying font color or size to enhance the important information is a good idea. Highlight phrases like ‘Schedule a Viewing’ or ‘Limited Time Offer.’
6. Maintain brand consistency
Consistent branding makes your marketing look professional and eventually ensures conversion and builds trust. Stick to your brand’s colors, font styles and logo on the flyers.
Managing this manually can be a hassle, but PosterMyWall’s Brand Kits make it simple. You can store your logo, fonts and color palette in one place and apply them to any template instantly, ensuring every flyer looks cohesive.
