App launch flyer
Paddock Run maps roadside stalls and farm gates and shows only the ones a grower has marked open in the past day. Its launch flyers avoid the two things app posters usually do, which are showing a screenshot nobody can read at arm’s length and promising a feature list. Instead: one flyer explains the rule that makes the map trustworthy, one announces the release, and one lists in order every piece of data the app asks for.
The 3 designs
The same business laid out three ways, on three templates and three colour themes. Every price, name and time on these was written for this example, so you can judge the layouts on real content rather than placeholder text.

What makes these work
The first flyer explains the rule, not the features
A stall drops off the map 24 hours after its last update. One sentence, and it answers the only question a reader has, which is whether the map will send them down a dirt road to a closed gate. Feature lists never answer that.
The dark announcement is deliberately short
A wordmark, a year, one paragraph and two facts: free for growers, and listings expire on their own. An announcement flyer competes with a phone in the reader’s hand, so anything it says beyond the reason to open the store page is spent effort.
The privacy sheet numbers the asks in order
Nothing to browse, location only if you switch it on, an email only if you list a gate, and a delete that takes the lot inside seven days. Written as four steps rather than a policy, it is the one flyer of the three a grower will actually read to the end.
Questions people ask
Does an app have to let people use it anonymously?
Australian Privacy Principle 2 gives individuals the option of not identifying themselves or of using a pseudonym when dealing with an organisation. The only exceptions are where the law or a court requires identification, or where it is impracticable. The regulator treats impracticability as transitional rather than permanent, and expects systems to be designed with an anonymous path, which is why browsing this map needs no account.
What has to be in a collection notice?
Australian Privacy Principle 5 requires notification at or before collection, or as soon as practicable afterwards, covering ten matters including who is collecting, why, what happens if the information is not collected, who it is usually disclosed to, how to access and correct it, how to complain, and whether it goes overseas and to which countries. A flyer is not that notice, but it can preview it honestly.
Is a small app developer exempt from the Privacy Act?
Sometimes, and less often than founders assume. The small business exemption applies below $3 million annual turnover, but it falls away if the business discloses personal information for a benefit, provides a benefit in order to collect it, is a health service provider holding health information, or is related to a larger body corporate. An app that sells or trades data is covered whatever its turnover.
Should a launch flyer carry app store badges?
Yes, and both of them, positioned where a thumb would go. The badges are the only part of the flyer that maps to an action a reader can take while standing in front of it. Everything above them is there to make that action feel worth the twenty seconds of a download on regional reception.

Grand opening flyer
One new hardware shop, Rowan & Sons on Mercer Street, and three flyers for three jobs. The date poster goes in the window weeks out and says Saturday 6 September, from 8am, with free coffee, ten percent off all weekend and a bench where the staff sharpen your tools. The offer sheet sits by the till and prices one product, the 5 litre cast iron pot at $119, usually $149, for the opening weekend only. The photo invitation goes to the mailing list and the neighbours, with coffee from eight and the ribbon at nine.
Product launch flyer
Bellbird Pantry has one carton to introduce and two very different audiences to introduce it to. A cafe owner wants to know whether it splits at 65 degrees. A shopper wants to know what is in it. The three flyers here split that job: an editorial poster with a single claim, a range sheet that lays out four lines for a buyer, and a page that walks through the three blocks on the back of the pack.
Product drop flyer
Ninepin Supply makes 120 jackets from one roll of cloth and then stops. A drop flyer for that has an unusual job, because the scarcity is real and has to be stated in a way a reader can check. One flyer is a single garment on a rail. One is a lookbook with the thirty day return promise printed at the bottom. The third is the rules: doors at 10am, two per person, no rainchecks.
