The postage you never pay
A mailed piece carries a postage bill on top of printing. A door hanger skips it, because you or your crew place it on the knob by hand.
That makes hangers the cheapest way to blanket a street you already know you want, such as the blocks around a current job or the homes inside your delivery area.
Four sizes and what each costs
The 3.5″ × 8.5″ hanger is the budget size at $389 for 2,500. The 3.5″ × 11″ and 4.25″ × 11″ hangers cost $409 for 2,500 and add space for a tear-off coupon or a short menu.
The 5.5″ × 17″ hanger is a small poster for the door, at $749 for 2,500. Use it when you need a full menu or a price sheet on the door.
Planning a route that pays off
Crews usually cover a few hundred doors per person in a shift, so a 2,500 run lasts several outings. Start with the streets nearest your best customers and track the calls each street brings back.
Our break-even calculator tells you how many new jobs a run must win to cover its cost.
Built to hang in the weather
Hangers print on 100lb cover stock with an aqueous coating that resists scuffs and light rain. The die-cut hole fits standard doorknobs and lever handles.
Every order gets a proof first, so the offer, phone number and expiry date are right before printing.
Hangers or postcards?
Hangers win when you can walk the area and want to save postage. Postcards mailed with EDDM win when the area is too big to walk or crews are busy. Many owners use both, hangers near the shop and postcards farther out.
