In a world filled with Google Ads, boosted posts, and constant online competition, it is easy to assume that print marketing has lost its place. Many Canadian businesses reach out to us thinking flyers are outdated or ineffective.
But the data tells a completely different story.
Here at Flyer Canada, we have watched local companies outperform digital-only campaigns by simply using smart, targeted flyer delivery. And after running thousands of campaigns across the country, we know one thing for sure.
Flyers still work. In fact, they often work better than digital.
Think about how people actually behave. They come home, pick up the mail, walk through their lobby or hallway, and take a quick look at whatever is in their hands. A flyer does not get skipped. It does not get scrolled past. It gets noticed.
Of course, not every flyer performs well. A poorly targeted drop or unclear message can lead to wasted material. That is why planning matters. From who you reach, to when you reach them, to how you track their response, each step affects the final result.
At Flyer Canada, we focus on these details. As Canada’s Largest Flyer Delivery Company, and with over 10,000 businesses trusting us nationwide, we know what makes a campaign succeed.
Many business owners are surprised when we share our performance data. On average, our flyer campaigns generate a 4.4 percent conversion rate. The flyer industry average sits around 1.41 percent. Digital ads often convert at only 0.12 percent.
These are not theoretical numbers. They come from real campaigns across retail, home services, real estate, fitness, restaurants, and more.
The reason is simple. Flyers create a physical connection. They land in homes. They get seen by families. They stay on counters. They give people a local reminder of who you are and what you offer.
A digital ad disappears the second someone scrolls. A flyer gives your message more time to work.
For flyers to perform, they need to be relevant, well designed, and delivered to the right homes. When we run campaigns, we choose neighbourhoods based on demographics, proximity, and patterns we have tracked over years.
We help clients simplify their message. A flyer with one strong offer works far better than a crowded layout. A clear headline, a readable design, and a direct call to action are what motivate people to respond.
Timing matters as well. Delivering before a long weekend, during a seasonal shift, or right before a key promotion can create strong momentum.
With more people working from home or spending time locally, flyers have become even more effective. They reach customers exactly where decisions happen.

Distribution is the heart of a successful flyer campaign. Many companies print beautiful material but fail to deliver it properly. Flyers pile up, get placed incorrectly, or miss the best time window.
Our team handles this process with precision. We plan routes. We set schedules. We track what happens. By using QR codes, promo codes, and other tracking tools, we measure response and adjust throughout the campaign.
This is how we help businesses reduce their customer acquisition costs by 51.8 percent on average. When you waste less and target better, you spend smarter.
Many of our clients see a return of three to twenty-nine times their investment depending on their offer and zone selection. These numbers are consistent across cities and seasons.

With all the noise online, physical marketing feels refreshing again. People enjoy receiving something real. A flyer feels local and trustworthy. It shows that a business is active in the community.
Flyers work especially well for Canadian service businesses that depend on neighbourhood reach. Cleaning services. Landscaping. Home repairs. Medical and wellness clinics. Restaurants. Real estate agents.
These companies need to connect with people close by, and flyers do this better than any digital-only method.
