Flyer and poster feedback from real people
Flyer feedback is useful before paying for print. A quick poster feedback question can show whether people notice the event and find its date without someone from your team talking them through it. We aim for first answers within about 15 minutes in UK daytime; replies can be slower for now.
We review requests by hand.
Flyer feedback questions
Before sending a flyer to print, check whether someone can find the event details and understand why they might go:
- Example: Harbour House asks which Sunday Jazz flyer makes people curious: A, an illustrated café, or B, a photograph with saxophone and coffee.
- When and where does this event appear to take place?
- What is hard to find on this poster at first glance?
What poster feedback returns
Illustrative result: In the illustrative Harbour House result, B gets 14 of 20 picks and A six. Some reasons say B looks like live music, while A could be mistaken for a menu. Check whether viewers find 11 October and 2pm before selecting a design. The best-looking option is not enough if the practical information is hidden.
How to show two flyers fairly
Export the flyer or poster as an image rather than sending a PDF or a link. Put two versions side by side at the same scale, then ask one question. Members answer blind and give a short reason. If the date is crucial, ask a separate comprehension question without pointing to it first.
The Ask hub covers other formats.
Why a quick outside reading helps
The organiser already knows what the flyer is advertising. A stranger may have only a few seconds to work it out. Testing the date, place and action catches a missing detail more reliably than asking whether the poster looks nice.
Honest limit: The image is viewed on a screen, not across a street or on paper. Members come from across the UK and cannot be selected for your town yet. Their reaction is a design steer, not a forecast of attendance.
What it costs
Asking is free during early access, by invitation. At paid launch a quick take starts from 30p an answer plus 50p a question (launch example); 20 quick takes would come to about £6.50. You see the quote before asking.
Your questions, answered
How do I get feedback on a flyer?
Export a clear image, ask one neutral question and let people respond without an explanation. For an event, ask what it is and when it happens before asking which version they prefer. Their reasons can show whether imagery or text caused the choice.
What makes a good event poster?
The viewer should be able to find the event, date, time and next action quickly. In the illustrative Sunday Jazz test, one design signals live music more clearly, but both still need readable details. Test comprehension at the size people are likely to see.
Can I ask local people only?
Not yet. The current pool is verified adults across the UK, without regional targeting. Use the result for clarity and first impressions, then ask local customers through your own channels if neighbourhood context matters.
Can I test the print size?
Members see a screen image rather than a physical print. You can state the intended poster size and upload a photograph or mock-up showing scale, but that does not replace a physical proof. Check fine type on the final print separately.
How many people should I ask?
The current pool can be 5 to 50 UK adults. Five may give a quick steer; 20 gives more reasons to compare. Small groups are noisy, so a close split needs a retest or a clearer question before you commit to a large print run.
How much does this test cost?
During invitation-only early access, asking is free. At paid launch, the example rate is 30p per answer plus 50p per question, so 20 answers would be about £6.50. You see the quote before posting. Printing and distributing the chosen flyer are separate costs; this quote covers the feedback question.
