Well, it all started when a group of enthusiastic marketers and graphic designers decided it was time to give flyers the recognition they deserve. These unsung heroes of marketing and promotion deserved their own special day, and thus, National Flyer Day was born.

Did you know that flyers have been around for centuries? Yep, even before the invention of the printing press! Back in ancient times, people would write messages on papyrus and distribute them to spread important news. Talk about a timeless form of communication!
In 1760, the term 'flyer' originated in the field of lithography. Lithography is a method of printing that uses a flat stone or metal plate. Printers would use a tool called a 'flyer' to rapidly and efficiently apply ink to the surface of the plate, allowing for the creation of high-quality prints. The term 'flyer' referred to both the tool itself and the person who operated it.
In 1894, the term 'flyer' took on a new meaning when it began to be associated with aviation. This shift in meaning was sparked by the Wright brothers' successful flight in their Wright Flyer. The Wright Flyer was the first powered aircraft that could be controlled by a pilot. As aviation gained popularity and advancements were made in flight technology, the term 'flyer' came to represent a person who flew aircraft.
By 1910, the term 'flyer' had transcended its associations with lithography and aviation. It began to be used in promotional materials to refer to individuals or groups who were highly skilled or successful in their respective fields. For example, circus performers could be referred to as 'flying acrobats' or 'flying trapeze artists,' highlighting their remarkable abilities. The term 'flyer' had evolved to represent someone who was exceptional or adventurous.
In the 1940s, the term 'flyer' became closely associated with advertising. In this context, a 'flyer' referred to a printed piece of promotional material, typically distributed by hand or mail. These flyers contained information about sales, events, or other special offers. The term 'flyer' emphasized the quick and efficient dissemination of information, mirroring the original purpose of the lithographic tool. Even in the digital age, the term 'flyer' is still commonly used to describe promotional materials.
