Flyers are arguably one of the easiest ways to advertise or inform other people of deals or events. Making them is a relatively simple process, but only if you’re familiar with what to do and have the right program. Google Docs, for example, has plenty of options for those who want to create an eye-catching flyer.

In this article, we’re going to give you the steps you need to make a flyer in Google Docs to get your event or your news noticed.

Google Docs is a handy way to make documents as it’s both free and not operating-system dependent. All you need is an internet connection to start making the flyers you need. To do this, follow the steps as detailed below:

To make it easier for new users, Google Docs provides a selection of templates that you can use as a pattern for your document. Just follow these steps:

If, instead of using a template, you wish to start from scratch, you can do so by following these instructions:

Google Docs automatically saves your progress whenever you take a pause from editing your document. All your files are saved in your Google Drive account. If you have a printer connected and wish to print your current flyer you can:

If you wish to save your file to your computer for printing later, open your Google Drive account. Find the document in the list, then right-click on it. Choose “Download” from the dropdown menu.

The pull-tab flyer’s unique feature is that has several tabs with relevant information (a phone number, a date, etc.) on the bottom that other people can tear one-off to take with them. This is a great way to advertise, as people who may find it bothersome to write down details, can instead just pull a tab and keep the info with them “just in case.”

Currently, there is no direct way to make vertical text in Google Docs, so if you want to make this particular type of flyer, you can do the following:

Half-page flyers, as the name suggests, are flyers with a design that only covers half the size of an ordinary flyer. With this design, you can print two smaller, but identical, flyers on the same page that can be cut apart to save time and paper. These can either be horizontal or vertical, depending on your need.

To create a half-page flyer, you can use several techniques, and they’re detailed below:

Making a vertical flyer with landscape page orientation.

To make a good flyer, here are a few important notes in mind. First, the most efficient flyer is one where all the important information can be seen with a glance. Be sure to get to the point and keep unessential data to a minimum.

Second, adding images and flashy text can be used to draw attention to all the relevant facts, but don’t overuse them. Lastly, make sure all the relevant data is on the flyer. If you’re welcoming inquiries, make sure contact information is actually on the flyer itself. Effective communication is the key to making a great flyer.

If you have a G Suite account, you’re given the option to save your currently finished flyer as a template that you can use later.

If you don’t have a G Suite account, here’s how.

Although by default, there is no dedicated flyer template on Google Docs, several other templates work rather well in its place. The Brochure or Newsletter template, for example, offers great designs that draw the reader’s attention to important information.

If you wish to find new templates to use, you can perform a Google search for “flyer templates” or visit Template.net to see all their available free document templates.

1. On the Google Docs home page, click on the menu icon on the upper left corner of the window.

2. From the list click on Forms.

3. From there you can choose a form template or create one from scratch by clicking on + blank.

Tear-off flyers and pull-tab flyers are the same. Refer to the “How to make a pull-tab flyer in Google Docs” instructions given above.

Whether you want to update people about an upcoming event or give them information about an interesting product, flyers certainly do a lot to make advertising easy. Knowing how to make a flyer in Google Docs gives you an easily accessible tool for creating them.
