In St. Louis’s Tower Grove neighborhood, our distributors walk block by block through streets lined with iconic red brick two-family flats — the signature architectural style of the Gateway City. Each door hanger is hand-placed on the front door handle, never left on the ground or stuffed in a mailbox. This hands-on approach ensures that every homeowner physically interacts with your marketing message, delivering the kind of guaranteed impression that digital ads simply cannot match in neighborhoods like Tower Grove, Shaw, and Benton Park.
The St. Louis metropolitan area is one of the largest markets in the Midwest, spanning two states with a massive concentration of homeowners and a thriving economy rooted in healthcare, aerospace, financial services, and agriculture technology.
St. Louis is home to nine Fortune 500 companies including Emerson Electric, Centene Corporation, Reinsurance Group of America, Edward Jones, and Bunge Limited. The metro’s diverse economy spans healthcare (BJC HealthCare, SSM Health, Mercy), aerospace and defense (Boeing), financial services (Edward Jones, Stifel), brewing (Anheuser-Busch), and a rapidly growing tech corridor along the I-64 corridor. This economic depth creates enormous demand for local marketing — and door hangers put your message directly on the doors of decision-makers.
Our distribution network blankets the entire St. Louis metropolitan area — both the Missouri and Illinois sides. From dense urban neighborhoods to sprawling suburban communities, every doorstep is within our reach.
The independent city at the heart of the metro. 293,000+ residents across 79 neighborhoods including Downtown, Central West End, Tower Grove, Soulard, The Hill, Shaw, and Benton Park.
The largest county by population with 1 million+ residents. Covers 88 municipalities including Clayton, Ladue, Chesterfield, Creve Coeur, Ballwin, Kirkwood, Webster Groves, and Florissant.

Kirkwood is one of St. Louis’s most sought-after inner-ring suburbs, known for its Craftsman bungalows, walkable downtown, and strong community identity. Our distributors cover every block on foot, navigating the tree-canopied streets and wide front porches that define this neighborhood. Businesses targeting Kirkwood families — from pediatric dentists to lawn care companies to tutoring centers — consistently see strong engagement from door hanger campaigns because residents here value local connections and personal service.
St. Louis’s four-season climate, aging housing stock, and strong homeownership base make it an ideal market for door hanger distribution. These industries consistently see outstanding results from campaigns in the Gateway City metro.
St. Louis experiences hot, humid summers and cold winters with significant storm activity. This creates year-round demand for HVAC, roofing, and home repair services. With a median home age older than the national average, St. Louis homeowners constantly need maintenance and upgrades — making door hangers an ideal way to reach them at exactly the right moment.
Not every campaign needs metro-wide coverage. We offer precision neighborhood targeting so you reach the exact households most likely to become your customers. Here are some of St. Louis’s most-requested target areas.
Affluent west-central neighborhoods with high household incomes. Ideal for luxury home services, financial advisors, premium dining, and high-end retail marketing.
Upscale suburban communities along the I-64/Highway 40 corridor. Large homes, established families, strong demand for home maintenance and family services.
Family-friendly inner-ring suburbs with walkable downtowns. Perfect for restaurants, tutoring centers, pediatric practices, and family entertainment businesses.
Urban neighborhoods near major hospitals. Excellent for healthcare services, fitness studios, dining establishments, and young professional-oriented businesses.
Fast-growing St. Charles County communities with new construction. High demand for landscaping, pest control, home security, and family-oriented businesses.
West County suburban hubs with strong retail corridors. Ideal for auto services, home improvement, fitness centers, and dining establishments.
Historic city neighborhoods rich in culture and dining. Perfect for restaurants, entertainment venues, home renovation services, and specialty retail.
Major Metro East communities with strong homeownership. Reach the Illinois side of the metro for plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and other home services campaigns.
In the affluent Clayton corridor of St. Louis, every detail matters — including how your marketing looks on a homeowner’s front door. Our professionally printed door hangers are designed to stand out against the dark-painted doors and polished hardware typical of Clayton, Ladue, and Frontenac homes. The physical presence of a well-designed door hanger creates an impression that lasts days, not seconds, sitting on the kitchen counter long after a homeowner brings it inside.
Digital advertising has its place, but for local businesses targeting St. Louis households, door hangers offer distinct advantages that digital channels simply cannot match. Here’s how the two strategies compare head-to-head.
