Q: How do I approve my flyer?

You will receive an email notification from noreply@flyerplus.com when your flyer is ready for your approval. This is usually within 24 hours of your order - excluding weekends and holidays. The email will have links and instructions to go to FlyerPlus.com and login to your account. You will be prompted to approve your flyer order(s) that are pending your approval. Once in our system on FlyerPlus.com you can approve, make changes, or cancel the order by following our easy Flyer Traffic Signal:

Green Light: You like it! This option goes straight to our print queue.

Yellow Light: You want to make corrections but do not need another proof. Once we make the corrections, we will move it to our print queue. This is the fastest option for making changes to your flyer.

Red Light: You want to make changes and for us to send another email notification with your changes to approve again. This takes longer than Yellow Light because of another round of email but insures the best results. You can also cancel your order with this option.

Back to Top

 

Q: How do I make changes to my proof?

Select either Yellow Light or Red Light. The page that you see will have your flyer information in text field boxes that you can easily modify. If you are changing the price for instance, just type in the new price in the appropriate box. Please use the designer’s notes box to articulate any changes that aren’t obvious or special requests. Be sure to press the “save” button at the bottom so we get your updates.

Q: How do I order more flyers after my first batch runs out (a reorder)?

• DO NOT PLACE A NEW ORDER, THIS WILL CAUSE TWO HOME TOURS TO BE CREATED
• Instead, you will place a reorder for your flyers
• This can be done as frequently as every 7 days, here's how:
-- Log in to your account at flyerplus.com
-- You will see your listings to the right, locate the listing for which you need more flyers
-- Click on the big green button marked
-- On the next screen you need only select the number of flyers to be printed and click reorder flyers. YOUR FLYER WILL LOOK JUST LIKE THE LAST FLYER YOU RECEIVED. NO CHANGES WILL BE MADE.
-- If, however, you need something changed on your flyer, you need to list specific changes in the large box in the center of the screen. Nothing on the flyer will be changed except what you list in this box, even if you've made changes to your listing through the edit listing interface.
-- That is to say, if the price has changed and you do not mention it in this box, your new flyers will show the incorrect price
-- When you are ready to continue, click reorder flyers
-- That is all. Your flyers will be printed and shipped as soon as we process your order

Q: What is an online home tour?

Q: How is my online tour related to my printed flyer?

• Your FlyerPlus.com order provides you with two products for your listing: an online home tour and printed flyers. It is important that you understand that these are separate products.
• When you first place an order at flyerplus.com, this action creates your online tour AND it sends a request to the designers to begin your flyer. This is the only time one action will affect both products. From this point on, you need to think of your online home tour as separate from your printed flyer.
• Once created, the online home tour is under your control
-- When you log in, you may change all information about your tour, including photos, price, and sale status
-- Especially when a home is sold, you should mark it so. This removes it from our sister website, hometourplus.com
-- Even though you make changes to your online tour, because the tour is a separate product, THESE CHANGES DO NOT AFFECT YOUR PRINTED FLYER
• Your printed flyer will be designed with the information you submitted when you first placed your order
-- Your flyer will be built within 24-48 hours and you will receive an email with a link to view your flyer
-- Because your printed flyer is a separate product from your online tour, making changes at flyerplus.com WILL NOT have any affect on your flyer.
-- Changes to your printed flyer can only be made by replying to the email sent to you by the designer of your flyer.
• IMPORTANT REORDER INFORMATION!!!
-- Unless you enter changes in the box on the reorder screen when placing a reorder, your flyer will be printed exactly as the previous order regardless of the information on your online home tour

Q: If I need flyers before I receive my order, can I print the flyer directly from your website?

• Yes, you can!
• Once your flyer has been designed, it is available online at FlyerPlus.com for download
• This means you can have printed flyers in your hands as quickly as 24 hours from the time you place an order, if you have a printer attached to your computer, and would like to print them out yourself. Here's how:
-- Log in to your account and access your quickview, then locate the property
-- On the right, within the particular property area, click on the link View PDF
-- Once the flyers loads on the screen, select the File menu in the upper left corner
-- In the dropdown menu select Print...
• We will still ship your flyer order to you, after it is approved and printed in our offices

Q: I need to edit my listing, but there is no edit listing link.

• This flyer was created in our old system and must be updated to the new format
• This is very easy, here's how:
-- Click on the green button marked Reorder Flyers
-- On the next page, in the quantity box, select Web Only
-- Click reorder flyers. (We will not ship any flyers; this simply updates your listing to the new format.)
-- Now when you view your listing, you will see an edit listing link

Q: What determines how the photos are laid out on the page?

• The designer building your flyer will use his/her judgment to determine photo choice and layout
• If you give us more photos than will fit in the template, the least attractive photos will be left out
• Generally, the exterior front photo is placed as the largest photo. An exception will be made if this photo is too small for the main picture or does not sell the property well, in which case a different photo will be used in its place. For best results, a main photo should be at least 750 dots (pixels) wide.
• Unlike you might expect, the order in which you upload your photos DOES NOT specify placement on the flyer. If you desire specific placement, you'll need to list that out in the notes to the graphic designer.
• Please be advised, while calling the photo the "family room photo" may seem obvious to you, the designer does not know the house and would be better served if you were to describe the photo itself.

Q: How do I mark my house as sold?

• Log in to your account and access your quickview, then locate the property
• On the right, within the particular property area, click on the link Edit Listing
• Under Property Location, find the dropdown marked Listing Status, and choose the appropriate selection
• At the very bottom of the page, you must click save to complete your update
• This removes your home from our sister website, hometourplus.com

Q: How do I change the price of my property on hometourplus.com?

• Log in to your account and access your quickview, then locate the property

Q: How do I format bullet points in my text?

• When you want a bullet to appear, please enter an asterisk in its place
• Please look at this example:
• If you enter: * 2 Car Garage, you will get printed on your flyer: • 2 Car Garage
• Unless you enter an asterisk, you will not see a bullet mark

Back to Top

 

Q: I placed a check mark next to a bullet item, why didn't it appear on the flyer?

• You choose which items will appear on the flyer by placing a checkmark
• However, they will not appear unless you also click the button Fill Bullet Points; this action brings them down into the bullet edit text box.
• You may then make small alterations to the text if you need to, customizing the bullets.
