These terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but it's pretty well established in the tech writing business that there's a difference. It's not that one is better than the other, but, generally speaking, they have different uses.
Flyer (also leaflet and handbill)
A flyer is a single sheet of paper, usually 8 1/2 x 11 (A4), used to get information to a large number of people inexpensively. Flyers are popular for small scale advertising.
They're often, quite literally, throw-aways because they're handed out at random or posted in public places in the hope they'll be read. If they're intended to be posted, such as on a bulletin board or put up in a window, they're printed on one side only. If they're going to be hand held or mailed, they can be printed on both sides.
The purpose of a flyer is to provide a limited amount of information for a limited time at relatively low production costs. Some common uses are:
While desktop publishing has made it easy for non-professionals to produce quite sophisticated flyers, many businesses rely on professional writers and graphic artists for the copy and layout of business flyers.
There is some disagreement on whether a flyer and a flier are the same thing. The preferred usage in Standard Written English is that a flier is someone or something that flies.
Brochure (also pamphlet)
Brochures are normally more sophisticated than flyers and more expensive to produce. As much time, effort, and expense can go into producing a quality brochure as producing a short video. Businesses produce millions of brochures every year, and a skilled brochure writer is well paid.
Brochures are used as sales or information resources that may be retained and read a number of times by a specific audience. They're commonly displayed in racks at airports, hotels, and doctors' offices, but as random as this seems, it's expected that only the people interested in the subject of the brochure will take one.
They're not intended to be throw-aways. They're widely used as follow-ups to initial sales contacts and as supplementary information sources. An insurance company, for example, might use one brochure as a sell-piece and later mail a different brochure to provide details of its policies to a person who has indicated interest.
There is no limit to the size or shape of a brochure, but the most common format is a single sheet of paper folded once - to create four panels - or twice - to create six panels. The first format is most often called one-fold or bi-fold. The second one is usually called tri-fold or tri-panel.
No real difference although a brochure is usually of higher quality than a flyer, is often a letter size sheet folded in thirds, where a flyer is folded in half, and is made available on racks or displays rather than being bulk mailed or distributed randomly by hand as flyers are. None of these is conclusive, however.
Brochures, catalogs, flyers, letters, and postcards are just a few of the direct-mail advertising options.
Advertisement is the promotion of a business through various forms of media. A brochure is ONE form of advertisement !
The difference between a pamphlet and a brochure is that pamphlets are usually non-commercial, and present an argument to persuade the reader to one point of view instead of another, (eg recycling). Brochures present a product or service for sale, and include travel brochures put out by government departments. They are often presented on glossy paper with colour photographs, while pamphlets don't need to or often don't have the money available to do this.
It depends on where the print ad is going to be published. Most magazines are a bit larger than your standard 8.5"x11" piece of paper, while brochures and flyers using print ads can be larger or smaller.
Promoting it would be one of the best way to create awareness. There are different type of promotions out there. But if you are on a tight budget maybe you can start with print collaterals. Using business cards, flyers, brochures and even posters to create your product awareness.
