Even in this digital day and age, lost pet flyers and posters are still a vital part of any lost pet marketing.

Flyers are a laser targeted way to reach every house in a relatively cheap way. Ideally use colour flyers rather than black and white because they help to identify your pet better - unless he or she is black or white anyway.

As well as hand delivering to individual homes, place your flyers as posters at vets and pet shops and places where people gather such as supermarkets, dairies, cafes, libraries, churches and schools. The first shower of rain, or wind, will ruin your flyers in outdoor locations such as fences or lamp posts etc - so laminate those ones if possible. Places like Warehouse Stationery can print flyers and/or laminate them for you if required.

Many sites create free flyers

To make it easier, use a free lost pet flyer creator tool online.

Although flyers and posters are vital, they’re still only one part of the mix to find your lost pet. Use all methods for the highest chance of success including searching national lost pet sites, your local facebook page, talking with people etc.

So keep up those flyers and posters. They really do work and they are definitely well worth the effort.
