I use a flier box with a "sorry we're out of fliers" sign and then a text rider for instant info and photos as an alternative to the paper flier...which were never there to begin with.

I have stopped in some as they get stolen faster than i can get them out in some homes. 

I don't... people use those to eliminate homes not select them. Have never once had a call from a flyer in a box... but I do get calls from my number on a sign.

I do not.  I want potential buyers to contact me for more info so I get their contact info!  I used to print them and I still usually print less than 20 copies to hand out to specific people I think may know someone who is interested in the property, give one to owner, and I put one in a property book inside the house.

They are still very well used in our area John West 

I stopped using flier boxes years ago! Definitely have them inside for buyers with appointments but in our local area outside flier boxes are not used.

I stopped using flyers about 2 years ago when I began using the text riders. I do still put them inside the house for a buyer or agent to pick up. I love being able to capture the phone number of interested buyers.

Paper flyers were never a great idea unless your intent was to waste a lot of photo copies to litter the nearby yards.

I am glad that every home now has the needed details with a few clicks of the smart phone.

I have given it up years ago & I'll throw in the QR code as another useless tool.

No!  Save the trees - use a text capture sign! 

Belinda's post might be helpful. 

If they stopped completely...I dont think they would be missed

      If you use flyers, glue one to the inside of the plexi-glass box, so that the box will never be "empty".

John West - no flyer box from me.

The rider with a text 'yyyy' to 'xxxx' is a better way to capture the lead rather than giving away free flyers. Just my two cents.

We don't use flyer boxes but we do use text riders. -Kasey

I certainly use them in rural locations where cell service is spotty.

Haven't used them in a while although they are avaialble to buyers and agents walking through.

I do use fryers and leave those at the property for potential buyers to take with them.

I put them in the box, they disappear, nobody calls. Waste of paper.

I don't have use the boxes on sign posts but have brochures in the property for open house events, broker caravans and individual showings.  

I do not use flyer boxes - IMO publishing all the information keeps potential buyers from calling - I want them to call

I use flyers and a box attached to my sign. I have to keep filling the box so I know people are taking them...unless it's kids...lol

Not any more waste of money (IMHO).

The typical real estate agent fliers is a waste of time, energy and a perfectly good tree.

However, a flier that has traceability is an invaluable tool.

The fliers I use not only as a little about the house but presents the reader with three options corresponding to where they are in the buying process.

Fliers create more activity from buyers and sellers, for me, than Active Rain.

If an agent does not know how to use a flier, I suggest they spare the tree.

Yes. Some sellers still prefer them, and there are still many places with spotty cell phone service, so texting and accessing internet from your phone is not possible. Just don't put all the fliers in the box at one time. Give a supply to the sellers, and ask them to add them as they see the box getting empty.

I did years agom but not anymore..people took the flyers and vey seldom did they result in a call

Yes. I believe in traditional sale.  Except my rider-TOO LATE was stolen.....

Some prospects still like them. Most are on the internet.

Sometimes it is NOT about havng success with a marketing tool but demonstrating to the Seller that they may be overpriced. Also it appeals to an older cohort who still cling to paper as their main method of research or reading. Most decent MLS systems have mapping tools and others that allow someone just to point and get information from their smart phones. If I give the Seller 20 flyers and they are gone in a week with no offers I point this out to them. Same as if you had 10 shows and NO offers. Somethings wrong!

We did try the flyer box one time and the flyers were picked clean by neighbors. When replaced, the moisture in the Florida humid weather caused them to stick together and become a very poor presentation. We use text signs and they work much better and capture the info on the requestor.

I have stopped putting flyers in a flyer box out front.  With the smartphones, buyers can find listings easily.

My brokerage does not as they got sued before when someone broke their ankle on the sidewalk and claimed the fliers were the reason he got out of the car and therefor the reason for his broken ankle. And I think this may help weed out the serious buyers. If they're really interested they can call or look it up.

I still use them since we are in a tourist area and people walk around. As far as what I use it depends on the property. I have had pretty good luck with it. 

I stopped using them, since they disappear fast, but in unknown directions. People just like taking them even if they do not need that. 

I haven't used them for years.  I will make flyers for the inside if I think the home will sit on the market long enough for me to have them printed.

I use flyers but not the flyer box.

I do not use flyers, I want interested persons to contact me.  Can't pickup a buyer if they look at the flyer and see it's too much money.

Yes, I still use them if clients want them and 80% of clients think it is a must to have them.

I do not. I let them go with the dinosaurs. 

we use brochure boxes and have brochures in them for subdivisions prior to a model home being available.....the boxes are filled several times a week....

people still like paper

I no longer use them, but I know that folks driving by homes like to have something to grasp in their hands.

I stopped paper fliers a while back. Seems like they have served their purpose in the past and new techniques are now available and more beneficial. 

Have not for years...

Not in many years. We use electronic sign riders. When I go by paper boxes they are normally empty. 

John,

It depends on the market place.  It is a good idea for big ranch properties, but not luxury homes.
