Everything you need to know about door hanger distribution in New York
Door hanger distribution in New York City is a direct marketing strategy where professionally printed marketing materials are hand-delivered to residential doorknobs and door handles throughout the NYC metropolitan area. Unlike direct mail that gets buried in overflowing mailboxes or digital ads that get blocked and ignored, door hangers are placed directly on the front door — guaranteeing that every household in your target area physically encounters your message the moment they arrive home.
In the New York City market — the largest metro in the United States with 19.15 million people — door hanger distribution is one of the most powerful and cost-efficient ways to reach local customers. NYC is also the most expensive digital advertising market in the country, where Google Ads routinely cost $5-137+ per click depending on industry. In a market where digital ad fatigue has reached its absolute peak, a physical marketing piece that cannot be blocked, skipped, or scrolled past provides an unfair advantage that smart businesses are leveraging to cut through the noise.
New York City’s unique characteristics create both challenges and extraordinary opportunities for door hanger distribution. Manhattan’s extreme density (70,450 people per square mile) and doorman buildings require experienced distribution teams. But the outer boroughs — Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island — plus Long Island and Westchester offer millions of traditional residential doors perfect for door hanger marketing. And in the most over-advertised city in America, a physical piece of marketing that demands attention provides value that simply cannot be replicated digitally.
Whether you are a restaurant opening in Williamsburg, a real estate agent farming Park Slope, a dental practice in Astoria, a law firm targeting the suburbs of Long Island, or a home services company expanding across Staten Island and Westchester, door hanger distribution puts your message directly in the hands of your ideal customers — with verified proof that it got there.
The New York City metropolitan area is the largest metro in the United States by a commanding margin. No other American market comes close to its scale, density, diversity, or economic output. Here is why this market creates extraordinary opportunities for door hanger distribution:
Most populous borough • ~1M households • Median home value: ~$998K • Neighborhoods: Park Slope, Williamsburg, DUMBO, Bay Ridge, Flatbush, Bushwick, Crown Heights, Sunset Park, Bensonhurst, Borough Park
Most ethnically diverse county in America • ~800K households • Median home value: ~$600K • Flushing, Astoria, Long Island City, Jackson Heights, Forest Hills, Bayside, Jamaica, Elmhurst, Woodside
Density: 70,450/sq mi • ~750K households • 75% renters • ~10% doorman buildings • Upper East/West Side, Harlem, Washington Heights, East Village, Hell’s Kitchen, Inwood, Chinatown
~500K households • Median home value: $590-655K • Riverdale, Pelham Bay, Throggs Neck, Morris Park, City Island, Kingsbridge, Fordham, Parkchester, Co-op City
Most suburban borough • ~175K households • Median home value: $730-750K • Highest homeownership rate of any borough • Todt Hill, Great Kills, Tottenville, St. George, New Dorp
Nassau County: 1,392,438 (median home $795K) • Suffolk County: 1,542,820 • Westchester County: 1,006,447 (median home $1,075K) • Bergen County NJ: 990,798 • Predominantly single-family homes with high homeownership rates • Ideal for traditional door hanger distribution
New York City’s GDP exceeds $800 billion — larger than the economies of Switzerland or Saudi Arabia. The metro area is home to Wall Street, the world’s largest financial center, 183,000+ small businesses, 25,000+ restaurants, 1 million+ healthcare employees, and a tech sector that has attracted $8 billion in AI investment alone. This extraordinary concentration of wealth and economic activity means every household in the metro represents premium door hanger targeting potential.
Bottom line: The NYC metro has more households, more businesses, more economic activity, and more diversity than any other market in the United States. Door hanger distribution lets you reach these households directly, affordably, and with verified proof of delivery — at a fraction of what digital advertising costs in this market.

New York City’s extraordinarily diverse and massive economy means virtually every industry can benefit from door hanger distribution. In the most expensive digital advertising market in America, the cost advantage of door hangers is magnified. Here are the industries that see the strongest results:
25,000+ restaurants in NYC alone. Grand openings, delivery zone expansion, menu launches. In a city obsessed with food, door hangers with compelling offers drive immediate traffic.
Brooklyn ~$998K median, Westchester $1.075M. Open house invitations, just listed/sold, agent branding. In NYC’s high-value market, one closed deal justifies hundreds of campaigns.
1M+ healthcare employees in the metro. Target residential neighborhoods surrounding hospitals and medical centers for new patient acquisition across all five boroughs.
NYC legal keyword CPCs reach $50-137+. Personal injury, immigration, family law, real estate law. Door hangers bypass the most expensive Google Ads market in the country entirely.
Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, renovation. Focus on outer boroughs (Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island) and suburbs where single-family homeowners need ongoing maintenance.
NYC’s 8.4M+ population makes it one of the most consequential political markets in the country. Door hangers deliver voter outreach across target districts with full documentation.
Gyms, yoga studios, personal training, wellness centers. Target health-conscious neighborhoods in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and affluent suburbs with membership and trial offers.
Wall Street is headquartered here, but local financial advisors, insurance agents, tax preparers, and mortgage brokers need neighborhood-level marketing to build client bases.
Residential and office cleaning. Target high-income households and busy professionals across Manhattan, Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, and affluent suburban communities.
NYC’s 69% renter rate means constant turnover. Target neighborhoods with high move-in/move-out rates with seasonal campaigns timed to lease renewal cycles (spring/fall).
$8B in AI investment. Tech companies launching consumer products use neighborhood-level door hanger campaigns to drive app downloads, signups, and local awareness in target demographics.
Long Island, Westchester, and Staten Island have massive single-family home markets. Year-round landscaping demand in affluent suburban communities with high homeownership rates.
Do not see your industry? We serve businesses of all types across the NYC metro. Call (866) 643-4037 and we will develop a custom campaign strategy for your specific business.
The NYC metro is the most complex and diverse market in the United States. With 19.15 million people, 800+ languages, and neighborhoods that range from $500K studios to $50M penthouses, precision targeting is not optional — it is essential. Our advanced demographic targeting ensures every door hanger lands at a household that matches your ideal customer profile.
Target specific boroughs, neighborhoods, or zip codes. Reach Park Slope but not East New York. Target Astoria but not Far Rockaway. Precision geographic control from individual blocks to entire boroughs.
Filter by income level. Target affluent homeowners in Scarsdale and Great Neck ($200K+ median) or young professionals in Williamsburg and Long Island City. Match your ideal customer’s purchasing power.
Choose from single-family homes, brownstones, walk-up apartments, townhouses, and multi-family buildings. Critical in NYC where building type varies dramatically from block to block and borough to borough.
NYC is 69% renters (75% in Manhattan). For home services targeting homeowners, focus on Staten Island, outer Brooklyn/Queens, and suburban counties. For restaurants and services, renters are equally valuable.
In NYC, 47.8% of residents speak a non-English language at home. Target Spanish-speaking Washington Heights, Chinese-speaking Flushing, Russian-speaking Brighton Beach, or any of the 800+ language communities.
In NYC’s extreme density, a 1-mile radius in Brooklyn might cover 50,000+ households. A 3-mile radius on Long Island might cover 30,000. We map it precisely for maximum efficiency in every environment.

New York City is the most expensive digital advertising market in the entire United States. Google Ads average $5+ per click across all industries, with legal keywords hitting $50-137+ per click, and home services running $5-25+ per click. Digital ad fatigue is at its absolute peak in the most over-advertised city in the world. Here is how door hanger distribution compares:
| Factor | Door Hanger Distribution | Google/Facebook Ads (NYC) | Direct Mail (EDDM) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guaranteed Visibility | 100% — every household sees it | No — depends on bidding & quality score | Low — lost in mailbox clutter |
| Ad Blockers | Cannot be blocked | 30-40% of users block digital ads | Cannot be blocked |
| NYC Market Cost | Competitive per-door rate | $5+ avg/click (legal: $50-137+) | $0.18-$0.22 per piece + postage |
| Targeting Precision | Zip code, neighborhood, demographics | Interest/behavior targeting | Carrier route only |
| Proof of Delivery | AI-verified with photos | Click metrics only | USPS confirmation only |
| Physical Impression | Yes — tangible, memorable | No — digital only | Yes — but buried in mail pile |
| Multilingual Options | Full multilingual design included | Separate campaigns required per language | Possible but extra cost |
| NYC Legal Firm Example | Reach 25,000 households directly | $50-137/click = 37-100 clicks for same budget | Carrier route, no demographic filter |
| Best For NYC Market | Local businesses wanting guaranteed reach in the most expensive digital market | E-commerce and national brands | Coupons and catalogs |
In New York City, a $5,000 Google Ads budget for legal keywords at $50-137 per click might generate just 37-100 clicks — many of which bounce without converting. That same $5,000 invested in door hanger distribution reaches 30,000 to 100,000 households with a guaranteed physical impression at every door, complete with Proof of Delivery photos. In the most expensive and most ad-saturated market in the entire country, going physical is not just smart — it is a game-changing competitive advantage.

Flyer distribution in New York City is one of the most effective ways to put your marketing message directly into the hands of potential customers across the five boroughs and surrounding suburbs. Whether you need traditional flyers, menus, promotional postcards, or door hangers delivered to residential doorknobs, Direct to Door Marketing provides comprehensive flyer delivery service in NYC with full proof of delivery through our AI Management Platform.
While the terms are often used interchangeably, there are key distinctions. Door hangers are die-cut pieces designed to hang directly from a doorknob or handle — they’re impossible to miss. Flyers are typically flat-printed sheets (often 8.5” x 11” or smaller) that can be tucked into door frames, placed on doorsteps, or inserted into door handle areas. In NYC’s unique building environment, both formats are valuable depending on the building type. Direct to Door Marketing handles both flyer and door hanger distribution across all five boroughs and suburban counties, giving you maximum flexibility.
Our NYC flyer distribution campaigns can target specific zip codes, neighborhoods, boroughs, income brackets, home values, and demographic profiles. Deliver flyers to Park Slope, Astoria, the Upper West Side, Riverdale, Great Neck, and White Plains — or any combination of areas.
Every flyer delivery is documented through our AI Management Platform with Proof of Delivery photos. You’ll see exactly where your flyers were placed — critical accountability in NYC’s complex distribution environment.
Flyer distribution in NYC costs a fraction of digital advertising when measured on a per-impression basis. In the most expensive digital market in America, the cost advantage of physical distribution is magnified enormously.
Need flyers distributed across NYC quickly? Our network of 16,726+ distributors nationwide means we can scale your NYC flyer campaign from concept to delivery in days, not weeks, even in this complex market.
Whether you call it flyer distribution, flyer delivery, door-to-door flyer drops, or leaflet distribution in New York City — Direct to Door Marketing has you covered. We’ve been delivering marketing materials to doorsteps since 1995, and our NYC-area teams know these boroughs and neighborhoods inside and out.

New York City is the most linguistically diverse city on Earth, with over 800 languages spoken and 47.8% of residents speaking a language other than English at home. The city’s demographics include 28.4% Hispanic (primarily Dominican, Puerto Rican, Mexican, and Ecuadorian communities), 14.62% Asian (Chinese, Indian, Korean, Filipino, Bangladeshi), and dozens of other language communities. Reaching these populations in their preferred language is not optional — it is essential for effective marketing.
The biggest concern with door hanger distribution is simple: “How do I know my materials were actually delivered?” In a metro with 5.3 million+ households spread across five boroughs and multiple suburban counties, this question is absolutely critical. At Direct to Door Marketing, we solved this problem with technology that no other distribution company in New York can match.

★★★★★ Consistently rated 5 stars by New York businesses
“We own a chain of pizzerias across Brooklyn — Park Slope, Williamsburg, DUMBO. In a borough with a pizzeria on every corner, monthly door hangers keep us in the conversation. Direct to Door gets us on doorknobs in buildings where digital ads cannot reach. The consistency is what wins.”
“Selling luxury condos in Manhattan requires a different level of marketing. We use premium door hangers in buildings along the Upper East Side and Tribeca to reach high-net-worth buyers and sellers. Direct to Door matches the quality of the properties we represent.”
“Our law firm specializes in personal injury cases in Queens and the Bronx. Multilingual door hangers in English, Spanish, and Chinese reach the diverse communities that need legal representation the most. Direct to Door understands that accessibility starts with language.”
“We launched a concierge medical practice on the Upper West Side. In a neighborhood full of health-conscious professionals, our door hangers with a free initial consultation offer filled our patient roster in weeks. The tangible quality of the piece communicated the premium nature of our practice.”
Door hanger distribution is best for businesses and organizations that need to reach households in specific geographic areas across the Greater NYC market. Based on decades of distributing in complex urban environments, here are the types of campaigns that produce the strongest results in this metro:
New York City has 25,000+ restaurants and is arguably the most competitive restaurant market in the world. In a city where a new restaurant opens every day, standing out requires more than an Instagram post. Door hanger distribution puts your menu, grand opening offer, or delivery zone announcement directly on the doors of households within walking or delivery distance of your restaurant. For NYC restaurant openings, we recommend a launch campaign of at least 10,000 door hangers covering a 1-2 mile radius (which in NYC’s density can reach an enormous number of households). Menu flyers for delivery-focused restaurants perform exceptionally well across all five boroughs, particularly in residential neighborhoods of Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx where residents are actively looking for new dining options.
New York City real estate is the highest-stakes market in the country. Brooklyn’s median home value is approximately $998,000, Westchester’s is $1,075,000, and Manhattan transactions routinely exceed millions. At these price points, a single closed deal from a door hanger campaign generates an enormous return on investment. Real estate agents use door hangers for just-listed announcements, open house invitations, neighborhood market updates, and farming campaigns across Brooklyn brownstone neighborhoods, Queens single-family communities, Long Island suburbs, and Westchester towns. The most successful agents run monthly campaigns of 5,000-10,000 pieces in their target neighborhoods.
NYC’s legal market is massive and fiercely competitive. Google Ads for legal keywords in New York cost $50-137+ per click — the most expensive in the country. A personal injury attorney spending $5,000 on Google Ads might generate just 37-100 clicks. That same $5,000 in door hangers reaches 30,000-100,000 households across target neighborhoods. For personal injury, immigration, family law, real estate law, and criminal defense attorneys, door hanger distribution provides unmatched cost efficiency in the most expensive legal advertising market in America.
With 1 million+ healthcare employees across the metro, New York’s healthcare industry is among the largest in the world. For individual practices — dentists, urgent care, dermatologists, physical therapists, psychiatrists — door hanger distribution in the neighborhoods surrounding your office is one of the most cost-effective patient acquisition strategies available. A 1-2 mile radius campaign in a dense NYC neighborhood can reach 20,000-40,000 households. In the suburbs of Long Island and Westchester, the same radius reaches homeowner families who value proximity and convenience in choosing their healthcare providers.
While Manhattan’s high-rise environment limits traditional home services, the outer boroughs and suburbs present an enormous market. Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island have millions of single-family homes, brownstones, and low-rise apartments that need plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, and renovation services. Long Island and Westchester are quintessential single-family home markets where homeowners invest heavily in maintenance and improvement. Google Ads for home service keywords in the NYC metro cost $5-25+ per click. Door hangers bypass that cost entirely while reaching homeowners directly at their front doors.
NYC’s 8.4 million residents make it one of the most consequential political markets in the country. City Council, Borough President, State Assembly, State Senate, Congressional, and citywide races all benefit from door hanger distribution as a ground-game strategy. NYC’s incredible diversity means multilingual door hangers are essential for reaching voters in their preferred language across the city’s diverse districts. We handle campaigns from 5,000 pieces for a single district to 500,000+ for citywide races.
There are numerous companies offering door hanger and flyer distribution services in the NYC market. Before choosing a provider, here is what you should evaluate — and what separates a professional operation from an unreliable one:
| Evaluation Criteria | What to Look For | Red Flags |
|---|---|---|
| Proof of Delivery | Photographic evidence of completed routes; real-time tracking platform | No delivery verification; “trust us” approach; only a supervisor sign-off |
| Company History | 10+ years in business; established track record; verifiable references | No founding date listed; no client testimonials; new or unverifiable company |
| Network Size | Thousands of verified distributors; ability to scale to large campaigns | Small crew; cannot handle more than a few thousand pieces; untrained freelancers |
| Coverage Area | All 5 boroughs plus suburban counties; 99%+ zip code reach | Limited to one borough; cannot provide multi-borough or suburban campaigns |
| Pricing Transparency | All-inclusive quotes (printing + distribution); no hidden fees; clear scope | Distribution-only pricing; separate printing charges; vague “starting at” quotes |
| Technology Platform | AI-powered management; real-time monitoring; digital campaign reports | No technology mentioned; paper-based tracking; no digital reports |
| Multilingual Capabilities | Full multilingual design and targeting; culturally appropriate messaging | English-only materials; no language targeting; generic machine translations |
| NYC Expertise | Experience with NYC building access, density challenges, and borough-specific logistics | No NYC-specific experience; unfamiliarity with building access protocols |
| Direct to Door Marketing | AI Management Platform with Proof of Delivery photos, 16,726+ distributors, all 5 boroughs + suburbs, all-inclusive pricing, multilingual capabilities, established since 1995, 500M+ pieces delivered | |
The bottom line: When evaluating distribution companies in the NYC market, demand proof of delivery, verify their track record, confirm they can handle all five boroughs and suburban counties, and ensure they offer multilingual capabilities for this incredibly diverse market. Any company that cannot provide photographic evidence of delivery in NYC’s complex environment should raise immediate concerns.

4 Verified Case Studies
Restaurant • Park Slope, Williamsburg, DUMBO, Carroll Gardens
A three-location Brooklyn pizzeria chain committed to monthly door hanger distribution to maintain dominance in three of Brooklyn’s most competitive restaurant neighborhoods. Direct to Door delivered 10,000 door hangers per month per location across Park Slope, Williamsburg, and DUMBO, featuring weekly specials, family meal deals, and a loyalty rewards program. The campaign was specifically designed to reach residents in walkup buildings where digital food delivery advertising was less visible.
All three locations maintained consistent revenue growth while competing pizzerias on the same blocks closed. The loyalty rewards QR code on the door hanger drove measurable repeat business. The Park Slope location, which competes with dozens of pizzerias within walking distance, credited the monthly door hanger as the primary reason new residents in the neighborhood discovered them first. The owner estimates the door hangers generate more new customer acquisition than all delivery app advertising combined.
In Brooklyn, a new pizza place opens every week. Our door hanger on every doorknob every month is why we have been here for 15 years and counting.
Luxury Real Estate • Upper East Side, Tribeca, West Village, SoHo
A luxury real estate team targeting Manhattan’s most exclusive buildings used monthly ultra-premium door hangers to reach high-net-worth owners and residents. Direct to Door coordinated with building management to distribute in doorman buildings along the Upper East Side, Tribeca, West Village, and SoHo. Heavyweight stock door hangers featured recent record sales, market analytics, and private showing invitations for off-market listings.
The team secured multiple multi-million dollar listings directly attributable to the door hanger program. In Manhattan luxury real estate, where a single commission can exceed $100,000, the ROI was extraordinary. Building residents appreciated the localized market intelligence and began requesting the monthly updates. Several doormen reported that residents specifically asked about the door hangers — an unprecedented level of engagement for any marketing material in these buildings.
In a Tribeca doorman building, there is no Google Ad getting past the lobby. But a premium door hanger on heavyweight stock? That gets to the penthouse.
Legal Services • Flushing, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Astoria
A personal injury law firm serving Queens’ diverse immigrant communities launched a trilingual door hanger campaign in English, Spanish, and Chinese. Direct to Door targeted the densely populated residential neighborhoods of Flushing, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, and Astoria, reaching communities where many residents have limited English proficiency and may not know their legal rights. Door hangers featured clear, jargon-free explanations of legal rights after accidents and injuries, the firm’s multilingual staff availability, and a free consultation offer.
The firm experienced a dramatic increase in consultations from Chinese-speaking and Spanish-speaking clients in Queens. Many new clients reported that they had kept the door hanger for weeks or months before an incident occurred that prompted them to call. The firm’s Flushing office, which had underperformed since opening, became its fastest-growing location. The trilingual approach proved that serving the community in their language builds the trust necessary for people to seek legal help.
In Jackson Heights, 200 languages are spoken. Our door hangers in three of them tell the community that we are here for them. That representation matters.
Healthcare • Upper West Side, Morningside Heights, Riverside
A new concierge medical practice on the Upper West Side used premium door hanger distribution to build its patient roster in one of Manhattan’s most health-conscious neighborhoods. Direct to Door targeted the residential blocks of the Upper West Side, Morningside Heights, and Riverside Drive with premium oversized door hangers featuring the practice’s concierge model benefits, same-day appointment availability, and a free initial consultation offer.
The practice reached full patient capacity months ahead of projections. Upper West Side residents, accustomed to impersonal healthcare experiences, responded immediately to the personalized concierge model presented on a high-quality door hanger. The free consultation offer converted at an exceptional rate. The practice administrator noted that door hanger patients had the highest enrollment rate in the annual concierge membership program, suggesting the physical marketing piece attracted exactly the right demographic.
The Upper West Side is full of health-conscious professionals who want better care. Our door hanger at their door was the invitation they were waiting for.

New York City might seem like a challenging market for door hanger distribution — and in some ways it is. But several factors make it one of the most rewarding markets in the entire country for businesses that embrace physical marketing. Here is why:
No other metro in the United States comes close to NYC’s 5.3 million+ households. The sheer scale of this market means there is always a new audience segment to reach, always another neighborhood to target, always another borough to expand into. For businesses with ambition, the NYC metro offers virtually unlimited growth potential for door hanger campaigns at every scale from 5,000 pieces to 1 million+.
This is the single most compelling reason to invest in door hanger distribution in NYC. New York City is unquestionably the most expensive digital advertising market in the United States. Google Ads costs are staggering: legal keywords $50-137+ per click, home services $5-25+, even basic local service searches average $5+ per click. Facebook and Instagram costs are similarly elevated. In this environment, door hanger distribution provides the greatest cost advantage relative to digital of any market in the country. A $5,000 digital budget might generate 50-1,000 clicks. The same $5,000 in door hangers reaches 30,000-100,000 households. The math is overwhelming.
While Manhattan presents unique building access challenges, the outer boroughs and suburbs are a door hanger paradise. Brooklyn has millions of brownstones, row houses, and walk-up apartments. Queens has vast stretches of single-family homes and low-rise residential neighborhoods. Staten Island has the highest homeownership rate of any borough. The Bronx has extensive residential communities in Riverdale, Pelham Bay, and Throggs Neck. And Long Island, Westchester, and northern New Jersey offer quintessential suburban single-family home neighborhoods with easy doorknob access. The outer boroughs and suburbs alone represent over 4 million households — an addressable market larger than most entire metros.
NYC’s extraordinary linguistic diversity means businesses that communicate in their customers’ preferred languages have an enormous advantage. In neighborhoods like Washington Heights (Dominican Spanish), Flushing (Mandarin/Cantonese), Brighton Beach (Russian), Jackson Heights (Hindi/Urdu/Spanish), and Astoria (Greek/Arabic), multilingual door hangers are not just nice to have — they are essential for maximum response rates. Our multilingual capabilities are included at no extra charge.
NYC has more small businesses than any other city in America — over 183,000. These businesses compete intensely for local customers, and in the most expensive digital market in the country, many are priced out of effective online advertising. Door hanger distribution provides these small businesses with an affordable, targeted, and verifiable way to reach customers in their immediate neighborhoods. Whether you are a dry cleaner in Bay Ridge, a bakery in Forest Hills, or a yoga studio in the East Village, door hangers deliver your message to the people who live closest to your business.
The Biggest Market in America Demands the Biggest Distribution Network. Your Campaign Starts With One Call.
Call (866) 643-4037 for Your Free QuoteNo obligation, no pressure — just honest advice from NYC distribution specialists
Launching your first door hanger campaign across the NYC metro is straightforward — even in the most complex market in America. Whether you have never done door hanger distribution before or you are switching from another provider, here is exactly what to expect when you work with Direct to Door Marketing:
Call (866) 643-4037 or request a quote online. You will speak with a distribution specialist who understands the NYC market and its unique characteristics — from Manhattan’s building access challenges to Brooklyn’s brownstone-lined streets, from the extreme diversity of Queens to the suburban homes of Long Island. During this conversation, we will discuss your business goals, target audience, ideal boroughs and neighborhoods, preferred campaign size, timeline requirements, and budget range. The consultation typically takes 15-20 minutes.
Based on your consultation, we will build a custom campaign map defining exactly which neighborhoods, zip codes, boroughs, or suburban counties your door hangers will reach. For NYC campaigns, we can drill down to individual neighborhoods within a single borough or expand across all five boroughs plus suburbs. During this phase, we will also finalize demographic targeting parameters and — critically for NYC — discuss multilingual targeting strategies. You will receive a campaign overview showing the total household count, coverage map, timeline, and pricing before you commit to anything.
If you already have a door hanger design, send it over and our team will review it for print optimization. If you need design assistance, our team provides guidance to ensure your door hanger follows proven design principles. For the NYC market, we strongly recommend considering multilingual designs — English/Spanish at minimum, with additional languages for neighborhood-specific campaigns. All printing is done on premium card stock. Printing is included in your all-inclusive campaign price.
Once your door hangers are printed and quality-inspected, our experienced NYC distribution teams deploy across your target areas. Our AI Management Platform monitors every route. Distributors capture Proof of Delivery photos throughout the distribution process, creating documented evidence that your materials reached every targeted household — whether in Williamsburg or White Plains, Astoria or Armonk.
After distribution is complete, you will receive your full campaign report with Proof of Delivery documentation. Most businesses see response activity within the first week after distribution. For maximum impact, we recommend discussing a follow-up campaign strategy — repeated exposure increases response rates significantly. Many of our most successful NYC clients run monthly or quarterly campaigns to maintain consistent neighborhood presence.
