How to Make a Fireworks Safety Flier

Making a fireworks safety flier is easier than you might think. A flier is a good tool to use when mass dissemination of information is your goal. A flier can be made to be attractive and contain valuable information on fireworks safety. Just follow the steps below and you will have a great flier.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• Publishing program such as MIcrosoft Publisher
• Printer and paper for printing fliers
• Information about fireworks safety

1. Determine the budget for the flier. How much money does the organization have to spend on a flier?
2. Decide what you want the flier to look like. Do you want it to be printed in black and white or color? Is it going to be printed professionally or printed on an office copy machine or computer printer? Do you want it to be on special paper or basic computer paper and are there going to be graphics? If so, what are they and where will you get them.
3. Decide the purpose of the flier. Is the flier going to be used as a way to advertise or market the safety event or is it to be used to disseminate information about fireworks safety? Another use might be to let people know where they can find resources on fireworks safety.
4. Decide what you want to say. What is the title of the flier going to be? What content do you want to go into the flier? Is the content organized and concise?
5. The flier will be easier for people to read if it is not too wordy, so consider leaving some white space on it.
6. Decide how the flier is to be produced. Are you going to use a computer program, develop the flier by hand, or are you going to have the flier developed by a professional graphic artist?

Tips & Warnings

• Microsoft Publisher has a variety of flier templates that only require dropping the content into them. These templates are pre-set with different designs, graphics and colors from which to choose.
• Avoid filling up the flier with too much text. People are put off by this kind of reading. They just want to read the facts as quickly as possible — using bullet points to convey information is a good technique to create white space and deliver good content.
