Flyer distribution in Atlanta

Get your flyers into local hands across Atlanta.

FlyerDuty connects you with local Runners who hand out flyers or leave them at doors, and with Atlanta venues that put your poster up or keep a stack by the register. You set the area on a map, choose how the flyers go out, and get proof from the people doing the work.

How it works

How a campaign runs

A campaign is one flyer, one area on the map, and one or more ways of getting it out.

  1. 1

    Drop a pin and pick a radius

    The campaign map opens on Atlanta. Move the pin to the part of town you want to reach and pick a radius from a quarter mile up to 50 miles. Before you publish, the map shows how many Runners and venues are available near the pin.
  2. 2

    Upload your flyer and choose how it goes out

    Upload print-ready artwork or a PDF, then pick handouts, dropoffs, venue placements, stacks, or a mix. Each campaign gets its own QR code to put on the artwork. Start right away or schedule it up to 90 days ahead.
  3. 3

    A Runner or venue takes the work

    Open the campaign to every available Runner near your pin, where the first to claim it does the work. Or offer it to one Runner or venue you picked in the Marketplace, who can accept or decline. Venue placements go to nearby venues with open space.
  4. 4

    Approve the work

    Runners log their check-ins and dropoffs as they go. When a gig is submitted, you have 48 hours to approve it or raise a dispute before it's approved automatically.

Distribution methods

How your flyers get out

Use one method or combine them in the same campaign.

Handout

A Runner hands your flyers to people for the hours you book, at a spot the two of you agree on, such as a busy sidewalk or the entrance to an event.

Dropoff

A Runner leaves a flyer at each address in your area or on your list, at homes where that's legal and permitted. Each dropoff is logged with a photo.

Placement

A venue puts your flyer or poster in one of its display spaces, such as a window, a counter or a bulletin board, for the days you choose.

Flyer stacks

A venue keeps a stack of your flyers where customers can take one, and sends a photo once it's out.

Formats you can print

  • 4 × 6 handbill · 4 × 6 in
  • A4 flyer · A4 (8.27 × 11.69 in)
  • 11 × 17 poster · 11 × 17 in (tabloid)
  • Brand ad

Tracking and proof

See what happened with each flyer

Everything the Runners and venues log shows up on your campaign page while the campaign runs.

QR code scans

Each campaign has its own QR code. Your campaign page counts scans and the visits it sends to your website, counting a repeat visitor once.

Photos and locations

Dropoffs always need a photo, and handouts and venue placements include one when you ask for it. Runner check-ins and dropoffs carry the location they were logged at.

Time on the job

Runners start and end a work session on the gig, so you can compare the hours you booked with the hours they worked.

Messages

Once a Runner claims your gig, you can message them about the spot, the timing or the flyer.

Pricing

What a campaign costs

Each Runner sets their own rate, by the hour or per flyer, and each venue sets its own placement rate. FlyerDuty adds a service fee on top of that price, and the campaign form shows the estimated total for your area before you publish.

Runner gigs

Nothing is charged when you publish. When a Runner claims a gig, the amount is held on your card. It's charged when you approve the work, or 48 hours after it's submitted. Cancel before the Runner starts and the hold is released.

Venue placements

Upfront billing charges the placement when the ad goes up. Flexible billing, where the venue offers it, charges the placement fee when the ad goes up and the daily rate each week after that, and you can end it early.

Printing

Runners print on their own printer or at a local shop. If a shop bill is part of the job, the Runner sends it as an expense, and you approve it before it's charged.

Questions people ask

How do I hire someone to hand out flyers in Atlanta?

Create a client account, drop a pin where you want flyers handed out, and choose Handout. You can open the gig to every available Runner near the pin, or offer it to one Runner you picked in the Marketplace. You book a number of hours, and the Runner checks in from the spot while they work.

Is a Runner guaranteed to take my campaign?

No. Runners and venues choose the work they take. The campaign map shows how many are available near your pin before you publish, and a campaign nobody takes is never charged.

How much does flyer distribution cost?

It depends on who does the work. Runners set their own hourly or per-flyer rates, venues set their own placement rates, and FlyerDuty adds a service fee on top. The campaign form shows the estimate for your area before you publish.

When is my card charged?

Publishing doesn't charge anything, but you need a saved card to publish. A Runner gig is held on your card when a Runner claims it, then charged when you approve the work, or automatically 48 hours after the Runner submits it. A venue placement is charged when the ad goes up.

How do I know the flyers went out?

Runners log each dropoff with a photo and its location, and handout check-ins carry the location too. Your campaign page also counts QR code scans and visits to your website from the code. If something looks wrong, you can dispute a gig during its 48-hour review window.

Can I target one neighborhood instead of all of Atlanta?

Yes. Move the pin anywhere and pick a radius from a quarter mile up to 50 miles. For dropoffs you can also add a list of specific addresses.

Who prints the flyers?

Runners print on their own printer or at a local shop, and venues print their own or ask a Runner to bring the prints. A print shop bill only reaches you as an expense you approve first.
