Creating Effective Research Recruitment Flyers

By following these tips below, you can create research recruitment flyers that will help you attract more participants. Remember 1) keep your flyer clear, concise, and informative; 2) highlight the benefits of participating; and 3) make it easy for people to contact you.

Here are some tips on how to create effective research recruitment flyers:

  1. Start with a strong headline: Your headline is the most important part of your flyer. It is what will catch people's attention and make them want to read more. Your headline should be clear, concise, and attention-grabbing. It should state the purpose of your study in a way that will appeal to your target audience.
  2. Use clear and concise language: Your flyer should be easy to read and understand. Avoid using jargon or technical terms that your target audience may not be familiar with. Use simple language that everyone can understand.
  3. Highlight the benefits of participating: People are more likely to participate in your study if they know what they will get out of it. Make sure to highlight the benefits of participating in your study, such as:
  4. Use a Flyer Template or Generator: While creating a recruiting flyer isn’t difficult, customizing a known and tried-and-tested template can save you time and increase response rates. A flyer generator allows you to input your study information (i.e. demographics, inclusion/exclusion criteria, etc.) and create a custom recruitment flyer. You can use the Research & Me Flyer Generator for free.
  5. Make it easy for people to contact you: Make sure to include your contact information clearly on your flyer so that people can easily reach out to you with questions or to sign up to participate. Your contact information should include your name, title, email address, and phone number.
  6. Protect Your Privacy: If you’re using your existing work or personal contact information on your research recruitment flyers, your identity and privacy are at risk. Use a custom email address, a QR code or custom link to your study to protect yourself and your team. The Research & Me Flyer Generator offers the option of free custom email addresses, free QR codes and free custom links to use for your study.
  7. Limit your flyer to one page in length: People are more likely to read a flyer that is short and to the point. If your flyer is too long, people may not be interested in reading it.
  8. Get feedback from others: Before you distribute your flyer, it's a good idea to get feedback from others. Ask friends, colleagues, or family members to review your flyer and give you their honest opinion. This will help you to identify any areas that need improvement.
  9. Proofread your flyer carefully: Typos and grammatical errors will make your flyer look unprofessional and could damage your credibility, so review before you distribute it
  10. Ensure Compliance: Make sure that your recruitment flyer is compliant with all IRB regulations and guidelines. This includes obtaining ethical approval, using appropriate language, and providing accurate information.

By following these tips, you can increase the chances that your research recruitment flyer will be seen by people who are interested in participating in your study.
