In spite of predictions of the retail flyer’s demise, it perseveres. In fact, it is thriving through more effective targeting, digital storytelling and social media, catalogues as well new strides in distribution and printing efficiencies. And while the flyer continues to be a powerful contributor to a marketer’s arsenal, the future of the flyer looks anything but traditional.
“The flyer’s resiliency is a testament to the creativity of retail marketers in Canada,” said Diane J. Brisebois, president and CEO of Retail Council of Canada. Ms. Brisebois added, “the perceptiveness and skill they have demonstrated at reaching out to Canadians consumers in ways that resonate with them today is evidenced in the impact flyers will continue to hold.”
