How to hire flyer designers
In an era dominated by digital advertising, a well-designed flyer can be an effective way to cut through the noise as a physical, localized tool for promotion. A flyer designer can help you promote everything from yoga classes to concerts.
So how do you hire flyer designers? What follows are some tips for finding top flyer designers on Upwork.
How to shortlist flyer design professionals
As you’re browsing available flyer design consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the contractors you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:
- Industry fit. You want a flyer designer who understands your industry so they can design flyers that will reach your target market.
- Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., creating leaflets with GIMP).
- Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular flyer designer.
How to write an effective flyer design job post
With a clear picture of your ideal flyer designer in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.
An effective flyer design job post should include:
- Scope of work: From leaflets to brochures, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
- Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
- Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or design tools, mention this here.
- Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
