I've been planning on having some of those made up. But part of my idea is to have some that are two sided. With one side saying "We are currently remodeling next door, if there are any disturbances, call this number" Something like that. And on the other side I can basically advertise my company and what I do. Then whenever I do a job, I can hang them up on the neighbors doors.

I would make some one sided hangers too, only advertising my business. Then go out, find my targets, and start hanging them up everywhere.

How did you decide where to hang them up when you made 2500 and didn't receive one call? Did you try and target a certain group? Homes that people just moved in to or what?

Re: Doorhanger Campaign?


We are also considering door hangers. I would like to see what the "2500 hangers & no calls" looked like - maybe the "creative & message" was wrong.

Seems almost impossible to me too.

Re: Doorhanger Campaign?


I'm thinking about splitting the cost on a two sided hanger with a plumber. My biz on one side his on the other.

Re: Doorhanger Campaign?


I have had really good success with mine. I did them in photoshop and had gotprint print them up, color both sides (postcard) with the high gloss finish and double staple a rubberband on em. I have 4 estimates tomorrow from them. I have put out ~ 2000 and have had 6 people so far call about estimates. That is just the start, I know where I have gone, and when the people have called usually takes around a week to a month to call, that doesn't include the people who kept my card and are going to call. Just walking around handing them out I have done estimates on the spot. I say do it!
