Door-to-door distribution in Kentucky puts your marketing materials directly into the hands of potential customers across the state’s 1.8 million households.

Challenge: A bourbon-themed restaurant opening in Louisville’s NuLu district needed to attract both local foodies and the growing bourbon tourism crowd from surrounding neighborhoods, not just foot traffic from Bardstown Road.

Every state has unique factors that affect door-to-door distribution. Here’s what makes KY distribution distinctive and how Direct to Door handles it.
