This particular flyer advertises their specialized mechanical expertise, but Leading Edge is involved in all things flight in Central Oregon—flight training, aircraft sales, and more. A quick look at their blog will show you the smiling faces of dozens of successful new pilots.

We can’t say with certainty that this is the world’s first avionics services vFlyer, but we definitely hope it’s not the last. Thanks to Leading Edge for a great custom theme, and happy flying!

Kudos, Nick, and thanks for making your vFlyer content look great!

Enjoy the weekend and we’ll be back with another featured custom theme next week. If you’ve created a custom theme you’re especially proud of, let us know!

The content of Same Day AC Repairs’ flyer is also excellent. They include a thorough description of their service, a testimonial from a customer, and a link to their website, and they display their phone number prominently.

Kudos to you, Same Day AC Repair! Thanks for helping us keep cool during this very hot July.

The background image looks like the type of pattern you might find on the walls of grandma’s house, but the fresh colors lend a modern feel to the whole affair.  And as with any good advertisement, this flyer is chock-full of professional photographs showing off the property in its best light.

Speaking of the listing photos, can anybody spot the famous movie character voiced by Tom Hanks in this flyer?  He appears in three of the images, and he’s wearing a hat.  View the full flyer, and all of its photos, here: http://ryanhanson.vflyer.com/home/flyer/home/47284001

Thanks to eGreen Realty for a top-notch custom theme!

Using their website as a model, Tork Motors put together a really slick custom theme:

As is the case with most web design, the background really makes the look of this site. But finding a background image that tiles seamlessly can be quite a challenge. Here, the machined metal background from the Tork Motors website is carried straight over to the vFlyer Theme Editor, and used to great effect.

The header image is a simple banner with the website address and Tork’s logo tilted just slightly inward, adding some interest to the flyer’s header. Throw in a full set of well-lit bike shots, and you’ve got a visual experience that’s bound to appeal to motorcycle junkies everywhere. Nicely done!

Needless to say, this sort of question is music to our ears, but how best to answer it? A simple “yup it’s true!” would certainly suffice, but would it demonstrate why our product is great with Craigslist, or allow the inquiring Facebooker to see for herself?

Perhaps not, so today I thought we’d feature an ad that shows why our product is great with Craigslist, and makes us here at vFlyer very proud indeed. RentOne is an apartment and commercial leasing company that markets properties in Sacramento and the Bay Area. They’ve used vFlyer for a few years now, and have obviously continued to improve their theming skills. Yesterday we stumbled upon one of their latest creations in the SF Bay area’s “office & commercial” Craigslist index.

Popping off the page is a super-sized high-res image of the property, shot on an appealing sunny morning after what I picture as a night of gentle rainfall, (or just a recent cycle of automatic sprinklers). This Craigslist layout, one of ten available to our business subscribers, is called “showcase”, and, like all the additional layouts, is made possible by the use of a custom theme.

Let’s break this baby down: The header image sets the property name and address against a shining metallic blue background. Notice how the header’s shine is focused in the center, then fades to a dark blue on either side. This dark blue is perfectly matched by the page background, creating the illusion of a seamless frame – not the appearance of a separate header tacked on top of the flyer. A marbled background image that tiles smoothly to fill the entire length of the ad elegantly ties the whole flyer together. From there, a nice set of listing photos, including a simple floor plan, do the work.

The “office & commercial” category is home to some of the blandest ads on Craigslist, but this flyer, thanks to a simple yet professional custom theme, is far from boring, and truly stands out from the competition. And that’s why our product is great on Craigslist.

Through a phone-call with a member of our design team, Matt laid out some content he wanted included in the theme – his brokerage logo, his contact info, and his slogan: “Go ahead, I’m listening… More than buying and selling homes.”. For colors, Matt referenced his brokerage website that sports the blue and black of Coldwell Banker.

Our design team took it from there – developing a logo-like display of Matt’s name, breaking the slogan into two overlapping speech bubbles, and carrying through the blues from Matt’s website. The theme was rounded out with a simple black, white, and gray scheme. The result, I think, is quite pleasing – and a testament to the power of creativity and collaboration. Matt’s flyers now have a unique, professional look, and a brand that truly reflects his business.

If you’re looking to brand your business better, our design team can help. Many thanks to Matt for the great theme, and until next week, happy theming!

The Pearl District PMG is a full-service property management firm specializing in the unique real estate environment of The Pearl. Their custom theme incorporates the logo and light-green color scheme from their website into a simple, clean header.

It’s hard to imagine a more exciting place to manage properties than Portland’s Pearl, a place that has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years. The neighborhood is home to Portland’s main Post Office, Powell’s City of Books, the Brewery Blocks, and much more. As always, we’re proud to see our flyers and widgets used to market special places around the country like The Pearl.
