Why are door hangers an effective marketing tool?

As mentioned before, everyone has to enter through a door at some point or another. A door hanger demands notice. Since it's not just another piece of "junk mail," it is less likely to be thrown away without the potential customer at least reading it to see what it's all about.

What kind of information is on a door hanger?

First and foremost, you want to make sure that the verbiage is very clear as to who you are and what you have to offer. Make sure that contact information is clear. Outline the benefits the homeowner or business owner is apt to gain from your products or services. Present yourself with as much enthusiasm as possible so that your business becomes irresistible to the reader! There is no better way to effectively carry out neighborhood marketing!

Since door hangers are an inexpensive marketing tool, you can promote seasonal sales and specials, putting new door hangers out every few weeks or months! What a way to keep the name of your business on the tips of everyone's tongues!

Make sure that you have a compelling headline to start your door hanger copy. Follow that with a sub-headline, engaging copy and a persuasive reason to call. Finally, don't forget to include your phone number!

In order to make your door hanger prompt the results that you're looking for, you have to have two things: a terrific design and an effective call to action. Without the design, your door hanger might not get noticed. Without a compelling call to action, your door hanger will simply be acknowledged, but then nothing more will come of it. Increase the chances of your door hanger producing results by coming up with a dynamic design and copy to match!
