handbill

n.

A printed sheet or pamphlet distributed by hand.

Single sheet of paper, usually 81/20 3 110, in any color stock, imprinted with an advertising message or announcement of a sale or special event, and distributed by a local retailer. Often, handbills will be left on the counter in a retail store or placed in the entrance lobby of a large store for customers to pick up while shopping. Frequently, they are distributed by hand on the street or left on parked cars. For the local retailer, the handbill offers a quickly produced and inexpensive form of advertising. Handbills are also called throwaways (for obvious reasons). See also flier.
