The term flyer refers to single page leaflet or poster that can be used to promote or advertise events, products or even political causes.
Common in many large cities, flyers are by their nature throw-away, and as a result they offer a cheap but effective form of advertising.
Taken to extremes whole walls can be often seen covered in flyers, this has caused the act of flyposting to be banned in many places. Derelict buildings can become especialy popular locations to flypost.
Despite their throw-away nature, flyers often have a strong graphic style to them, this has made them especialy popular for the promotion of bands and clubs. Some flyers can even become highly collectable.
