Form
-
Since we are in the digital age, you should have a flier that you can print and one that you can use electronically. There are several ways to create a flier, but the easiest and most accessible is Microsoft Word. Word has a free template for a tear tab flier, although the digital version should not include tear tabs.
Color
-
It is more expensive to print color fliers, but color attracts more attention than run-of-the-mill black and white advertisements. To keep costs down, use an inkjet printer, which is much cheaper than a laser printer.

Durability
-
If your fliers are going to be posted outside, be sure to laminate or insert them into plastic sleeves so they will hold up in harsh weather conditions.
Information
-
Be sure to include your name, phone number, email, qualifications and price on the flier. You may want to create a separate email account just for babysitting, or ensure that your current e-mail address seems professional. Tear-off tabs with your contact information at the bottom of the flier are a convenient way for interested people to get your information. These tabs should include your name, phone number and email address.
Location
-
Hang the flier in kid-friendly areas where parents frequent, such as parks, pools and sport complexes. Always ask permission to hang up a flier, as you could get into trouble or fined if the flier has not been approved. For your electronic flier, you can post it to your Facebook page or other social media platform, but be aware that your contact information will be made public to anyone who has access to your page. You can also post it to community digital bulletin boards connected to your church, school or professional organizations.
