What Is Citywide Door Hanger Distribution?

Citywide door hanger distribution delivers your marketing message to residential doors across an entire metropolitan area. This scale—typically 5,000 to 100,000 pieces—allows you to blanket multiple neighborhoods, districts, or your entire city with coordinated coverage.

This is where most successful businesses find their sweet spot. Neighborhood campaigns are good for testing, but citywide volume gives you the scale to generate statistically meaningful results while benefiting from better per-piece pricing. Many of our clients start with 20,000-30,000 pieces as an optimal first campaign.

At this scale, you can also run multiple waves—hitting key neighborhoods twice for maximum saturation. Remember: two well-timed door hanger campaigns typically achieve what would take 7+ mailings with direct mail. Citywide volume makes that repeat strategy affordable.

The Door Hanger Advantage

Unlike direct mail that arrives mixed with bills and junk, door hangers are impossible to ignore. The homeowner must physically remove it from their door—giving you 7-10 seconds of guaranteed attention. That's why door hangers work with just 2 campaigns while mail needs 7+ touches.

The Benefits of Metro-Wide Distribution

Citywide campaigns give you the scale to make a real impact

Better Per-Piece Pricing

Volume matters. Citywide campaigns qualify for significant discounts on both printing and distribution—your cost per door drops substantially.

Measurable Results

20,000-30,000 pieces provides statistically meaningful data. You'll know which areas respond best and can optimize future campaigns accordingly.

Multi-Wave Capability

At this volume, you can afford to hit key areas twice. Two campaigns saturate an area—achieving what would take 7+ mailings with direct mail.

Market Dominance

Covering your entire metro area establishes brand presence across your market. You're not just in one neighborhood—you're everywhere customers are.

Flexible Targeting

Even at citywide scale, you control exactly where your materials go. Focus on high-value zip codes, specific districts, or demographic profiles.

Full Verification

Every citywide campaign includes photo verification. You'll see proof of delivery from across your metro area—real photos on real doors.

Finding Your Optimal Campaign Size

Most businesses get the best results starting with 20,000-30,000 pieces. This volume provides enough data to measure response rates while testing multiple neighborhoods. From there, successful campaigns often scale to 50,000-100,000 pieces.

Pro tip: Budget for hitting your best-performing areas twice. Two campaigns in a neighborhood achieves saturation—often delivering better results than spreading the same volume across a wider area once.

Citywide Distribution FAQs

What is citywide door hanger distribution?

Citywide door hanger distribution is a marketing service that delivers your promotional materials to residential doors across an entire metropolitan area. This scale typically covers 5,000 to 100,000 households, allowing you to blanket multiple neighborhoods, districts, or an entire city with your message.

How many door hangers should I distribute for a citywide campaign?

For citywide campaigns, we recommend starting with 20,000-30,000 pieces as an optimal test size. This volume provides statistically meaningful results while keeping your investment manageable. Many successful businesses then scale up based on response rates, with 50,000-100,000 pieces being common for established campaigns.

How long does citywide distribution take?

Citywide distribution timing depends on the volume. Campaigns of 10,000-25,000 pieces typically complete within 5-7 days. Larger campaigns of 50,000-100,000 pieces may take 2-3 weeks. We can also coordinate phased rollouts for businesses that want to test response in different areas before full deployment.

Can I target specific areas within a city?

Absolutely. While citywide campaigns cover broad metro areas, you can still specify which neighborhoods, zip codes, or districts to prioritize. Many clients focus on higher-income areas, neighborhoods near their locations, or areas with specific demographics. Our targeting tools let you customize coverage while maintaining efficient scale.

What's the cost difference between citywide and neighborhood distribution?

Citywide campaigns offer significantly better per-piece pricing than smaller neighborhood distributions. The higher volume allows for more efficient routing and bulk printing discounts. Most businesses find that doubling their volume adds far less than double the cost, making citywide distribution a better value for serious marketing efforts.

Should I do one large campaign or multiple smaller ones?

For most businesses, the answer is both. We recommend starting with a larger campaign (20,000-30,000 pieces) to establish baseline response data, then following up with targeted waves in your best-performing areas. Hitting a neighborhood twice typically creates saturation—achieving what would take 7+ mailings with direct mail. This multi-wave approach usually outperforms a single wide distribution.
