Clothing stores see some of their busiest days of the year over Black Friday weekend, as shoppers refresh their winter wardrobes and buy gifts. A flyer for a clothing sale should look like fashion, not like a supermarket ad. This letter-size flyer combines a three-photo collage, an elegant serif headline, and simple department boxes showing each discount.
Clothing Sale Flyer Layout
The flyer is US Letter, 8.5 x 11 inches, portrait, on a clean white background. A black band across the top reads BLACK FRIDAY · NOV 27 TO 29 · IN STORE ONLY in mustard capitals.
Below it is a photo collage: one tall photo on the left and two shorter photos stacked on the right, ready for outfit shots, product details, or your shop interior. A small black hanger icon sits under the collage, followed by the headline Wardrobe Refresh in bold black Playfair Display and UP TO 50% OFF in heavy mustard capitals.
Four outlined boxes in a row show the discount for each department: WOMEN 50%, MEN 40%, KIDS 30% and SHOES & BAGS 40%. Under a thin rule, the store name, address, and Black Friday hours are listed, with a short italic note about exclusions and the logo mark at the bottom.
Choosing Photos for the Collage
- Tall photo: a full outfit on a model or mannequin.
- Top right: a close-up of a detail, such as a knit texture or a boot.
- Bottom right: a rail of clothes or your shop window.
Use photos with similar lighting and colours so the collage feels like one story. Click each frame and use Replace Image to add yours.
Editing the Department Boxes
Each box has a department name and a percentage. Change them to match your store, such as Dresses, Denim, Outerwear and Accessories. If one department has a special offer, like buy one get one, write BOGO in place of the percentage. Keep department names short so they fit in capitals on one line.

Black Friday Clothing Store Tips
Clothing sales come with practical challenges: busy fitting rooms, sizes selling out, and returns after the holidays. A few preparations help:
- Organise sale racks by size, not just by style.
- Set a limit on items per fitting room visit at busy times.
- Explain your returns policy for sale items clearly at the till.
- Restock popular sizes from the stockroom regularly.
- Offer gift receipts, since many purchases are presents.
The Exclusions Line
The small italic line under the store details explains what the discount excludes. Common exclusions include gift cards, new arrivals, and certain brands. Being clear upfront prevents disappointment and arguments at the till. If there are no exclusions, replace the line with a positive message such as No exclusions, everything in store.
Printing and Sharing the Clothing Flyer
Download the PDF and print it in colour. Uncoated paper gives a natural, boutique feel; glossy paper makes photos richer. Hand flyers to customers in the week before Black Friday, put them in shopping bags and display one in the window. Share a PNG version on social media and in your newsletter.
Changing the Accent Colour
Mustard gives an autumn warmth that suits knitwear and coats. For a different season or brand, try rust, olive, dusty pink or cobalt blue. Change the band text, the UP TO line and any accent shapes together for a consistent look. Black and white keep the layout clean, whatever accent you choose.
Clothing Flyers for Charity and Thrift Shops
Thrift and charity shops also run Black Friday events, often with half-price racks or fill-a-bag deals. Change the departments to Coats, Knitwear, Vintage, and Books, and the offer to Fill a bag for $10. The clean layout suits secondhand fashion, especially with photos of your best finds.
Combining the Flyer With Social Media
Use the collage photos on Instagram the same week. Post the outfit shots individually as part of our Black Friday Wardrobe Refresh, up to 50% off, and use the flyer design as a story. Customers who see both online and in print are more likely to visit.
Store Details That Matter
The footer lists the store name, street, and hours. Add your website or social handle if you sell online too. If your store is inside a mall, mention the entrance or nearby landmark so shoppers can find you on a busy day.
Clothing Flyer Layout Tips
The flyer works because it keeps a clear order: date band, photos, headline, discounts, and details. When you edit, keep that order. Resist adding extra stickers or bursts around the photos; the collage needs space to look like fashion. If you need more text, such as a loyalty offer, add it as a single line under the department boxes, matching the existing small text. Align new elements to the centre line so the layout stays balanced.
Gift Ideas Section for Clothing Stores
Many Black Friday clothing purchases are gifts. Consider printing a second version of the flyer with a small gift ideas line, such as Scarves, gloves and cosy socks from $15, or adding gift wrapping information to the footer. Shoppers looking for presents appreciate suggestions, and small accessories make easy add-on purchases at the till.
Measuring Flyer Results
To see how well the flyer works, add a small offer only available to people who bring it in, such as a free tote bag. Count how many flyers come back to the till. It is a simple way to judge whether printed flyers are worth repeating next year.
Clothing Sale Flyer Questions
Can I use one large photo instead?
Yes. Delete the two smaller frames and stretch the tall photo across the width.
Can I change the hanger icon?
Replace it with a shopping bag, a tag, or your logo.
Does the clothing flyer work without colour?
The layout remains clear, although the mustard accents turn grey.
Fashion shoppers notice good design. Add your outfit photos, set your department discounts, and invite your customers to a Black Friday wardrobe refresh.
