These days, mobile phones are like jewelry: everybody has to have one. As a small business owner you need to market your products but do not see the need to print out expensive brochures because your supplier already has the colorful and professionally-done brochures from the mobile phone manufacturers, which you so proudly display on the stalls. However, these brochures only market the phones, not your store. Small business owners, who have no need to launch nationwide campaigns, will benefit from digitally printed flyers that are effective, targeted, and cost-effective. Here are tips on how to design your flyers. Flyer Design Tips

Research the right images to use. You want to attract the technology fanatics, who always need to have the latest mobile phone and PDAs, as well as the ordinary shopper who's just looking for something cheap. Display images of your latest PDA, smart phone or clamshell in full color with verbiage that is just as eye-catching, like "Sale" or "Cheapest in Town".

Adopt concise wording with teasers to make people walk into your store. Because there isn't much space on your flyer, make sure all the information is there without overcrowding it with too much text. A good balance of text and images should be effective.

Use an online digital printing service for your flyers. Mobile phone shops can only accommodate a certain number of curious onlookers at any given time, and too many people ogling at your store can discourage other people from walking in. Let the flyers do the talking. Interested customers can always call or come back another day. Meanwhile, they can hold on to the flyer while they make up their mind. Print your flyers through an online printing service like UPrinting. UPrinting allows you to custom design and digitally proof your flyer prior to printing.

Check with the local authorities where you can hand out or post your flyers. Some cities have ordinances on where flyers can be given out, as the foot traffic can be disruptive to other stores and establishments.
