How to Distribute Flyers

It's now easier than ever to send flyers to families! Peachjar makes it possible to upload digital flyers within minutes and without having to leave your office.

District, School, and Volunteer Uploaders submit flyers to be distributed to parents via email notifications and posting on the district and school flyer boards. 

To get started, log in to your Peachjar account. From the navigation bar on the left, select Submissions.

You can select either Submissions > Post & Notify or you can simply select Post & Notify from the left navigation. After you have uploaded a flyer and continued to review the flyer, you can make edits or save your work by selecting the Finish Later button in the top right.

 

Upload & Review Flyer

Review the flyer requirements and guidelines to ensure your PDF file complies. Select the Flyer Design Guide button for a more comprehensive list and tips.

 

Next, select Upload PDF File to upload the flyer from your computer or drag and drop your flyer onto the gray drop zone. Files must be in PDF format, but you can upload files up to 50 MB in size!

Once the file has successfully uploaded select Continue to Review Flyer.

To ensure the content of the flyer will be recognized by screen readers for the visually impaired, the flyer is scanned and its content extracted to create a text version. Review carefully and make necessary edits to ensure the scanned text description matches the contents of the flyer.

If changes need to be made to the flyer, you can re-upload a new flyer by selecting Reupload Flyer. Once the flyer review is complete, select Continue to Set Flyer Details.

Flyer Title

Enter the flyer title in 45 characters or less. We recommend keeping the flyer title short and simple for easier readability for parents.
