Since flyers always have to do with money place the cost, fee or price prominently below the offer.
Then your name, first name 'll do and contact number, cell, twitter, land line what ever.
If you've done it on a computer you can probably print out ten or twenty depending on how much paper you have- but- black on white paper doesn't really catch the eye. Better still print out one and then go to the campus quick copy. Have them run the copies, ten to twenty should do it, on flashy eye catching paper. Remember you want a quick response. Some copy places have that really gaudy iridescent type of paper but even a kind of Halloweenie bright orange 'll do. Ya wanna be noticed, fast.
Got the copies? OK.
Now all you need is heavy duty scotch tape, masking tape, possibly a heavy stapler and scissors.
Next, use the scissors to cut the sides of the individual tear offs which are at the bottom of the flyer.
Now armed with your flyer "kit", head out for where everybody is. The quad, the front of the book store, The registration window. Bulletin boards in the residence halls. Places everyone has to go. When you've found a location use the appropriate tape or stapler and fix the flyer at eye level. Tape if you're using tape firmly. People tend to really tear so make sure the flyer is fixed securely. If you can use the stapler do so, But. Run a strip of tape across the lower part of the flyer near the top of the tear off. This will prevent the whole flyer from being torn down when someone tears at a tearoff.
Get them all out prominently. You should have what you want, a sold book, a new housemate, a frisbee golf coaching gig within about twenty four hours. If you don't get a response within twenty four hours- do another flyer run.
Keep tryin', keep flyin' till you do. Flyers work.
