Did you design a flyer for your business that you also want to share with your online audience? A menu for your restaurant? An event invite? Whatever the document might be, you don't have to recreate it from scratch! In Constant Contact, you can get that flyer into your email in just a few clicks.
Here are the two best strategies to get the job done in 2026:
1. The "Import from a PDF" Shortcut
This is the fastest way to turn a standalone flyer into an email.
Click Channels > Emails and select + Create an email.
Choose the Import from a PDF option.
Upload your file (up to 20MB).
What happens next? Constant Contact automatically builds a template for you! It generates a sharp PNG image of your PDF's first page and places a "Download" button directly underneath it, pre-linked to the full file. It even pulls the primary color from your PDF to brand the rest of the email.
2. Adding a Flyer to an Existing Template
If you already have a beautiful template going and just want to "drop in" your flyer, use the Library method:
Go to Assets > Library and click Upload > My Computer.
Once you upload your PDF, our system automatically creates a PNG image of that first page for you.
In your email editor, click the Images tab, then drag and drop that PNG version of your flyer into your layout.
Don't forget to link it! Click on the image, select the Link icon, and choose Document. Select your PDF from the list so that when readers click the picture, the full-size flyer opens up.
💡 Nick’s Pro-Tips for 2026
The 60:40 Rule: To stay out of the spam folder, make sure your email isn't just the flyer. Aim for a 60:40 text-to-image ratio. Use the Build tab to add a few text blocks.
Let AI Help: Stuck on what to say? Click the AI Assist icon in any text block. Tell it "Write a short intro for my restaurant's new seasonal menu flyer," and it will give you a professional blurb in seconds.
Multi-Page PDFs: Our system only generates an image of the first page. If your flyer has multiple pages, I recommend using our Canva integration to quickly turn the other pages into images or "teasers."
