When the mailbox is quiet, your flyers do the heavy lifting. They earn the glance, spark intent, and send people to a page. That page decides whether you win the booking, the order, or the RSVP. If a teammate asks what is a flyer right now, think of it as a short, local guide that points to one simple next step. Your landing page must make that step effortless.
Here is a practical, conversion-first playbook to make sure every scan and short URL from your flyers turns into action while Canada Post is stalled.
Pick the single thing you want from this campaign. Book a time. Order for pickup. Reserve a spot. That choice simplifies copy, layout, and tracking. Your flyer promises one outcome. Your landing page delivers it in under 30 seconds. If you need a quick reset on keeping creative focused, skim How to Effectively Use Marketing Flyers for Your Business (Part 1).
Recognition reduces hesitation. Use the same promise and almost the same words your flyer used.
Do not get clever here. Keep language plain and local.
Flyer traffic is impatient. Strip the page to the path that matters.
Avoid nav bars. Avoid long intros. Keep prices and times visible at a glance. The design goal is clarity that converts, not decoration. For a fast gut check on this mindset, see Why Flyer Design Matters: The Secret to Higher Conversions & Profitable Scaling.
Most scans happen on phones, often in lobbies and elevator banks. Build for one-hand use.
Nothing should require a pinch zoom. If a field is not essential, remove it.
Place one nudge near the action, not buried below the fold.
Local proof works best for flyer traffic because it mirrors the moment they saw your piece. For more ideas on getting eyes to the action without clutter, use How to Deliver Flyers That Actually Get Read and translate those cues to the page.
If you offer a perk, make it obvious and automatic.
Perks should feel like a helpful nudge, not a puzzle to solve.
Strikes remove postal data, not digital signals. Give each placement a unique identity.
You will see fast which lobby, street, or counter deserves the next re-drop. If you need a quick refresher on cadence that compounds results, keep Why Repetition Is Your Secret Weapon in Direct Mail Marketing handy.
Some people will always phone. Make that easy too.
Consistency between page and call closes more quickly.
Fast, readable pages help everyone, and they convert better in spotty cell service.
Hold your routes and offer steady while you test small page changes.
Tag versions so you can tie results back to placements. Then re-drop winners with the same flyer creative for recognition.
Restaurants and cafés
QR opens a page with “Order for pickup now” and a prefiltered list of tonight’s items. A tiny map sits below the button. Short URL lands on the same page for screenshotters.
Clinics and wellness
QR opens directly on a mobile time picker with evening and weekend tabs. Below the button is a micro FAQ that answers “how long it takes” and “what to bring.”
Home services
QR opens a simplified quote form with just contact, address, and preferred window. The next screen shows two time options and a confirm button. A proof line sits beside it: “On your street this week.”
Retail and click and collect
QR opens a pickup-now collection filtered to items in stock today. The button reads “Reserve for pickup.” A tiny map and hours sit below it.
When you match a clear flyer promise with a fast, focused landing page, you do not need the mailbox to carry conversions. Across campaigns, Flyer Canada clients see a 4.4% average conversion rate compared to a 1.41% industry average, achieve 51.8% lower customer acquisition costs, and deliver ROI from 3x to 29x. Strike or no strike, the biggest lifts come from clarity, speed, and repetition.
Run that loop twice and you will know exactly where to spend while mail is delayed.
Flyers create the moment. Your landing page captures it. Keep the promise simple, make the path one tap, and read the numbers by placement. You will turn scans and calls into steady revenue even while the mail is quiet.
