What Is Door Hanger Distribution in Houston?

Direct to Door mascot holding a door hanger for Houston distribution

Door hanger distribution in Houston is a direct marketing strategy where professionally printed marketing materials are hand-delivered to residential doorknobs throughout the Greater Houston 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.

🏠 2.9M+ Housing Units Reachable 🌎 5-County Metro Coverage 📷 AI-Verified Proof of Delivery 📅 Established 1995

In the Houston market — the 4th largest city and 5th largest metro in the United States — door hanger distribution is one of the most effective and cost-efficient ways to reach local customers. Houston’s sprawling 640-square-mile city footprint and 10,062-square-mile metro area present a unique challenge for marketers: how do you reach 7.8 million people efficiently without drowning in digital ad costs? The answer is simple. You go directly to their doors.

Houston is a city of staggering scale. With 2,390,125 residents in the city proper, 7.8 million across the metro, and approximately 2.9 million housing units spanning five counties, this market demands a distribution partner with the infrastructure to match. Direct to Door Marketing has been delivering that infrastructure since 1995, with 15,790+ verified distributors and over 500 million pieces delivered nationwide.

Houston’s unique characteristics make it an exceptional market for door hanger distribution. The city has no zoning laws — the only major U.S. city without them — which means residential neighborhoods exist throughout every part of the metro, creating diverse targeting opportunities that do not exist in more rigidly zoned cities. The population is young (median age 34.4), diverse (the most ethnically diverse major city in the United States), and growing at a pace of one new resident every 2.7 minutes.

Whether you are an HVAC company trying to reach homeowners before Houston’s brutal summer heat, a restaurant launching in Montrose, a real estate agent farming The Heights, or an energy services company targeting the homes surrounding the Energy Corridor, door hanger distribution puts your message directly in the hands of your ideal customers — with verified proof that it got there.

Houston adds 200,000 new residents every year. Your next customer just moved in. Make sure your door hanger is waiting for them.

The Houston Market by the Numbers

The Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land Metropolitan Statistical Area is the 5th largest metro in the United States and one of the fastest-growing major markets in the country. Houston is on track to surpass Chicago as the nation’s 3rd largest city by approximately 2035. Here is why this market creates extraordinary opportunities for door hanger distribution:

From ExxonMobil (#8) and Chevron (#16) to Sysco (#56) and Waste Management (#197), Houston’s 26 Fortune 500 companies generate a combined $959 billion in annual revenue and employ 633,000 workers. These corporate headquarters, along with the 130,000+ small businesses in the metro, drive massive demand for local services — and the homeowners who work at these companies are your door hanger audience.

Bottom line: Greater Houston has more housing units, more economic activity, and more growth momentum than virtually any market in the southern United States. Door hanger distribution lets you reach these households directly, affordably, and with verified proof of delivery.

🛠

Home Services

Plumbing, electrical, roofing, painting, and remodeling. Houston’s 65,747 new residential units in 2024 and aging housing stock drive constant demand.

⚖️

Political Campaigns

Harris County alone has 5+ million people. Massive campaign door hanger market during election cycles in one of the most politically competitive metros in Texas.

⚖️

Legal Services

Houston’s legal market is enormous — energy law, personal injury, immigration. Google Ads for legal keywords cost $22.75+ per click. Door hangers bypass that entirely.

🌱

Landscaping & Pools

Houston’s subtropical climate means year-round landscaping demand. Target single-family homeowners in suburban communities across Katy, Sugar Land, and The Woodlands.

🐛

Pest Control

Houston’s warm, humid climate creates year-round pest problems. Target neighborhoods with older construction and established vegetation for maximum response.

🚗

Automotive Services

Group 1 Automotive (Fortune 500, #214) is headquartered here. Major dealership networks across this sprawling car-dependent metro with 10,000+ square miles to cover.

🏪

Cleaning Services

Do not see your industry? We serve businesses of all types across the Houston metro. Call (866) 643-4037 and we will develop a custom campaign strategy for your specific business.

Advanced Demographic Targeting for the Houston Market

The Houston metro sprawls across 10,062 square miles — larger than the state of Maryland. You do not want to reach all 7.8 million people. You want to reach the right ones. Our advanced demographic targeting ensures every door hanger lands at a household that matches your ideal customer profile.

Zip Code & Neighborhood

Target specific Houston zip codes or neighborhoods. Reach The Heights but not Gulfton. Target Sugar Land but not Baytown. Precision geographic control at every level from individual neighborhoods to entire counties.

Household Income

Filter by income level. Target affluent homeowners in River Oaks and Memorial ($150K+ median) or growing families in Pearland and League City. Fort Bend County’s median income of $113,409 offers premium targeting potential.

Property Type

Choose from single-family homes, multi-family properties, apartments, condominiums, and townhomes. Harris County has 1.9 million housing units with 57.4% being detached single-family homes.

Owner vs. Renter

Homeowners respond differently than renters. HVAC and roofing campaigns should target owners. Moving companies should target both. Harris County’s 54.8% homeownership rate means nearly a million owner-occupied homes.

Language Preference

In the Houston market, language targeting is not optional — it is essential. With 44% Hispanic population, distribute bilingual materials to neighborhoods where Spanish is the primary language spoken at home.

Proximity Radius

Draw a circle around your business. A 3-mile radius in dense inner-loop Houston might cover 30,000+ homes. A 5-mile radius in suburban Katy might cover 50,000+. We map it precisely for maximum efficiency.

Door Hangers vs. Digital Advertising in the Houston Market

Houston is one of the most expensive digital advertising markets in Texas. Google Ads for local service keywords cost anywhere from $4 to $23+ per click, with legal keywords exceeding $50 per click for personal injury attorneys. Meanwhile, the average cost per lead across all industries in Houston is $70.11 — and for home services, it climbs to $165-$228. Here is how door hanger distribution compares:

Factor Door Hanger Distribution Google/Facebook Ads (Houston) 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
Houston Market Cost Competitive per-door rate $4-$23+ per click (legal: $50+) $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
Bilingual Options Full bilingual design included Separate campaigns required Possible but extra cost
Houston HVAC Example Reach 25,000 homeowners directly $10-15/click = 333-500 clicks for same budget Carrier route, no homeowner filter
Best For Houston Market Local businesses wanting guaranteed reach across 640 sq mi E-commerce and online services Coupons and catalogs

The Verdict for Houston Businesses

In Houston, a $5,000 Google Ads budget for HVAC keywords at $10-15 per click might generate 333-500 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. No ad fatigue, no algorithm changes, no bidding wars. In the most competitive digital market in Texas, going physical gives you an unfair advantage.

Stop Paying $10-23 Per Click. Reach 30,000+ Houston Households for the Same Budget.

Flyer Distribution in Houston, TX — Full-Service Door-to-Door Delivery

Flyer distribution in Houston is one of the most effective ways to put your marketing message directly into the hands of potential customers across the Greater Houston metropolitan area. 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 Houston with full proof of delivery through our AI Management Platform.

What’s the Difference Between Flyer Distribution and Door Hanger Distribution?

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. Direct to Door Marketing handles both flyer and door hanger distribution across Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, and Brazoria Counties, giving you maximum flexibility for your campaign format.

Why Choose Professional Flyer Distribution in Houston?

📍

Bilingual Marketing for Houston’s 44% Hispanic Population

Houston is the 4th largest Hispanic metro in the United States with 2.8+ million Hispanic and Latino residents. Within the city of Houston, 44% of the population identifies as Hispanic or Latino — approximately 1,050,000+ residents. The composition includes 67% Mexican American, 13% Salvadoran and Honduran American, and 20% other Central and South American, Cuban, and Puerto Rican communities. Reaching this market effectively is not optional. It is a competitive necessity.

English & Spanish

  • 44% of Houston’s population is Hispanic/Latino
  • 2.8+ million Hispanic residents across the metro
  • 4th largest Hispanic metro in the United States
  • Dual-language door hanger designs available
  • Culturally appropriate messaging and imagery
  • Professional translation included at no extra charge

Market Reach

  • Target Second Ward, Gulfton, Alief, East End, and Pasadena
  • Reach neighborhoods where Spanish is the primary language
  • Double your effective audience with bilingual materials
  • Political campaigns: bilingual voter outreach is critical
  • Restaurant and food campaigns in diverse neighborhoods
  • All printing included — no extra charge for bilingual design
Consider this: Houston’s Hispanic population grew 40% over recent decades and continues to expand. Businesses that distribute only English-language materials are voluntarily excluding nearly half of Houston’s population from their marketing reach. Our bilingual capabilities — included at no extra charge — ensure your message connects with every household in your target area, regardless of language preference.
In a city where 44% of residents are Hispanic, bilingual door hangers are not a luxury — they are a strategic imperative that doubles your effective market reach.

AI Management Platform & Proof of Delivery

The biggest concern with door hanger distribution is simple: “How do I know my materials were actually delivered?” In a metro that sprawls across 10,062 square miles with 2.9 million housing units, this question is even more critical.

Who Is Door Hanger Distribution in Houston Best For?

Door hanger distribution is best for businesses and organizations that need to reach households in specific geographic areas across the Greater Houston market. Based on decades of distributing in markets like Houston, here are the types of campaigns that produce the strongest results in this metro:


HVAC and Air Conditioning Companies

Houston is the single best door hanger market in the entire country for HVAC companies, and the data backs this up conclusively. Houston leads the globe in air conditioning usage — residents run their A/C an average of 17.2 hours per day during peak summer months, and 41% of Houston households run their air conditioning continuously. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and the combination of extreme heat and high humidity means A/C is not a luxury in Houston — it is a survival necessity. The Texas HVAC industry represents an $11.3 billion market with 9,631+ businesses competing for customers. Meanwhile, Google Ads for HVAC keywords in Houston cost $10-15 per click. A targeted door hanger campaign reaching 25,000 homeowners in neighborhoods with aging HVAC systems costs a fraction of what a comparable digital campaign would cost, with the added benefit of a guaranteed physical impression at every door. For pre-season tune-up campaigns, emergency repair promotions, and new installation offers, there is no more effective channel in Houston than door hangers placed directly on the doorknobs of homeowners who are about to face another brutal Texas summer.

Energy Sector Services

Houston is the Energy Capital of the World, home to 4,600+ energy-related firms and 14 Fortune 500 energy company headquarters. The Energy Corridor alone spans 7,000 acres in west Houston with over 300 companies and 105,000+ employees. These employees live in surrounding residential communities across Memorial, Katy, Cinco Ranch, and Cypress. Door hanger distribution allows energy services companies, caterers, restaurants, dry cleaners, fitness studios, and other businesses to reach the high-income households of Energy Corridor workers directly. Beyond the Energy Corridor, Houston’s energy workforce is distributed across the entire metro, creating opportunities for targeted campaigns in virtually every suburban community.

Restaurants and Food Businesses

Houston is widely recognized as one of the top food cities in America, with a dining scene that reflects the incredible ethnic diversity of the population. A door hanger with a compelling offer — a free appetizer, a percentage discount on the first order, or a grand opening invitation — gives recipients a reason to act immediately. For new restaurant openings, we recommend a launch campaign of at least 10,000 door hangers covering a 3-5 mile radius around your location. The bilingual aspect is particularly important for Houston restaurants — with 44% of the population being Hispanic, a bilingual door hanger can double your effective reach. Whether you are opening a Vietnamese restaurant in Midtown, a Tex-Mex spot in the Heights, or an upscale steakhouse near the Galleria, door hangers put your message directly in the hands of the people who live closest to your restaurant.

Real Estate Professionals

Houston’s housing market is among the most active in the country, with 65,747 new residential units authorized in 2024 alone — the second highest in the nation. With median home values at $315,000 in Harris County, $395,730 in Fort Bend County, and $371,646 in Montgomery County, every real estate transaction represents a meaningful commission. Real estate agents use door hanger distribution for just-listed announcements, just-sold notifications, open house invitations, neighborhood market updates, and farming campaigns across Houston’s diverse neighborhoods. The most successful campaigns target 500-2,000 homes surrounding a listing or recent sale. For agents farming entire neighborhoods in areas like West University, Meyerland, or The Woodlands, monthly campaigns of 5,000-10,000 pieces build the name recognition that generates long-term listing appointments.

Healthcare and Dental Practices Near Texas Medical Center

The Texas Medical Center is the largest medical complex on Earth, with 61 institutions and 106,000+ employees. The broader Houston healthcare sector employs 320,500+ workers — actually larger than the energy sector in total employment. For healthcare and dental practices, door hanger distribution in the neighborhoods surrounding TMC and throughout the metro is an exceptional new patient acquisition strategy. Target households within a specific radius of your practice with messaging about services, insurance acceptance, new patient specials, and community health information. Dental practices, urgent care facilities, physical therapy clinics, and specialty medical offices all see strong results from campaigns targeting 10,000-20,000 homes in their surrounding neighborhoods.

Political Campaigns and Advocacy Groups

Harris County alone has more than 5 million residents, making it one of the most consequential political markets in the country. Houston’s political landscape is highly competitive, and door hanger distribution is a critical ground-game strategy for candidates at every level. Door hangers allow campaigns to deliver their message directly to voters in target precincts with complete documentation of delivery. Our bilingual capabilities are particularly valuable for political campaigns in Houston, where reaching Spanish-speaking households can be decisive in tight races. We handle campaigns from 5,000 pieces for a small precinct to 500,000+ pieces for county-wide races.

How to Evaluate a Door Hanger Distribution Company in Houston

There are numerous companies offering door hanger and flyer distribution services in the Houston 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 Multi-county coverage; can serve all 5 Houston metro counties; 99%+ zip code reach Limited to one area; cannot provide multi-county campaigns across 10,062 sq mi
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
Bilingual Capabilities Full English/Spanish design and targeting; culturally appropriate messaging English-only materials; no language targeting; generic machine translations
Houston Scale Can cover 640+ sq mi city and 10,062 sq mi metro in a single campaign Cannot scale beyond small neighborhoods; no multi-county coordination
Direct to Door Marketing AI Management Platform with Proof of Delivery photos, 15,790+ distributors, 5-county Houston coverage, all-inclusive pricing, bilingual English/Spanish, established since 1995, 500M+ pieces delivered

The bottom line: When evaluating distribution companies in the Houston market, demand proof of delivery, verify their track record, confirm they can handle Houston’s massive geographic scale, and ensure they offer bilingual capabilities for this 44% Hispanic market. Any company that cannot provide photographic evidence of delivery should raise immediate concerns about accountability.

Why the Houston Market Is Perfect for Door Hanger Distribution

Not every market is equally suited for door hanger distribution. Houston happens to be one of the best markets in the entire country for this strategy — and several unique characteristics make it arguably the single best market for certain industries. Here is why:

2.9 Million Housing Units

Massive Scale Creates Massive Opportunity

Greater Houston has approximately 2.9 million housing units across five counties, with 65,747 new residential units authorized in 2024 alone. This enormous and ever-growing housing inventory means there is always a new audience to reach. The metro adds roughly 200,000 new residents every year — that is 200,000 people who have never seen your marketing, never heard of your business, and need the services you provide. Door hanger distribution is the most efficient way to introduce yourself to these new households at scale.

Extreme Climate Drives Year-Round Home Service Demand

Houston’s subtropical climate creates relentless demand for home services. The brutal summer heat (100°F+ for weeks on end) drives HVAC demand to levels unmatched anywhere else in the world. The high humidity creates constant pest control needs. Frequent severe weather events, including hurricanes and flooding, generate massive demand for roofing, restoration, and home repair services. Unlike northern markets where home service demand drops off in winter, Houston’s climate ensures year-round demand for air conditioning repair, plumbing, pest control, landscaping, and general home maintenance. This year-round demand makes recurring door hanger campaigns exceptionally effective because there is always a relevant message to deliver to homeowners.

No Zoning Laws Create Unique Targeting Opportunities

Houston is the only major city in the United States without formal zoning laws. This means residential neighborhoods exist throughout the entire metro in ways that do not occur in other cities. There are single-family homes next to commercial districts, apartments near industrial areas, and townhomes mixed with retail. For door hanger distribution, this creates unique targeting opportunities — you can reach residential households in areas that would be strictly commercial or industrial in other cities. It also means our distributors encounter diverse housing types throughout every route, and our demographic targeting capabilities become even more valuable in filtering the right households for your campaign.

Expensive Digital Market Creates Physical Advantage

Houston Google Ads costs are among the highest in Texas: $22.75+ per click for legal keywords, $10-15 for HVAC, $10.70 for roofing, and an average cost per lead of $70.11 across all industries. For home services, the cost per lead climbs to $165-$228. While competitors bid against each other for the same Google clicks, your door hanger sits on a household doorknob with zero competition for attention. In a market where digital costs continue to climb, door hanger distribution represents exceptional value.

Explosive Growth Means New Customers Arriving Daily

Houston adds one new resident every 2.7 minutes — approximately 200,000 per year. The metro grew by 1.5 million people between 2010 and 2023, the second-fastest growth rate nationally. Suburbs like Fulshear (the 2nd fastest-growing city in the U.S.), Katy, Cypress, and Conroe are seeing explosive new construction with master-planned communities opening continuously. Every new homeowner who moves into these communities needs HVAC service, landscaping, restaurants, medical providers, and dozens of other local services. New construction communities are among the highest-responding targets for door hanger campaigns because these homeowners are actively establishing their local service providers for the first time.

Demographic Diversity Rewards Bilingual Strategies

Houston is the most ethnically diverse major city in the United States, with a 44% Hispanic population and 2.8+ million Hispanic residents across the metro. Businesses that distribute bilingual English and Spanish door hangers gain a massive competitive advantage over those that only market in English. Our bilingual capabilities — included at no extra charge — give you access to the full breadth of the Houston market. In a city where nearly half the population is Hispanic, English-only marketing voluntarily excludes an enormous segment of potential customers.

Fortune 500 Economy Drives High-Income Households

With 26 Fortune 500 headquarters generating $959 billion in combined revenue and 633,000 employees, Houston has an extraordinarily deep pool of high-income households. These households — concentrated in areas like River Oaks, Memorial, West University, The Woodlands, Sugar Land, and Cinco Ranch — represent premium targets for luxury services, home improvement, financial services, dining, and more. Our income-based demographic targeting allows you to reach these high-value households with precision.

How to Get Started With Door Hanger Distribution in Houston

Launching your first door hanger campaign across the Greater Houston metro is straightforward. 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:

Step 1: Initial Consultation (Free, No Obligation)

Call (866) 643-4037 or request a quote online. You will speak with a distribution specialist who understands the Houston market and its unique characteristics — from the Energy Corridor to the Medical Center, from Katy’s master-planned communities to inner-loop neighborhoods. During this conversation, we will discuss your business goals, target audience, ideal geographic coverage, preferred campaign size, timeline requirements, and budget range. This is not a sales pitch — it is an honest conversation about whether door hanger distribution is the right channel for your specific business and how to structure a campaign that delivers measurable results. The consultation typically takes 15-20 minutes.

Step 2: Campaign Design and Mapping

Based on your consultation, we will build a custom campaign map defining exactly which neighborhoods, zip codes, cities, or counties your door hangers will reach. For Houston campaigns, we can drill down to individual neighborhoods within the city’s 640 square miles or expand across all five metro counties. During this phase, we will also finalize demographic targeting parameters including household income, property type, homeownership status, and language preference. Given Houston’s 44% Hispanic population, we will specifically discuss bilingual targeting strategies. You will receive a campaign overview showing the total household count, coverage map, timeline, and pricing before you commit to anything.

Step 3: Design and Printing

If you already have a door hanger design, send it over and our team will review it for print optimization and best practices. If you need design assistance, our team provides guidance to ensure your door hanger follows the proven design principles that maximize response rates. For the Houston market, we strongly recommend considering bilingual English and Spanish designs to maximize reach across this diverse metro. All printing is done on premium card stock with professional color printing on both sides. Printing is included in your all-inclusive campaign price — no separate printing invoices, no surprise charges.

Step 4: Distribution and Verification

Once your door hangers are printed and quality-inspected, our verified distributors deploy across your target areas. For most Houston campaigns, distribution begins within 3-5 business days of artwork approval. Our AI Management Platform monitors every route across the metro. Distributors capture Proof of Delivery photos throughout the distribution process, creating documented evidence that your materials reached every targeted household — whether in The Woodlands or League City, River Oaks or Pearland.

Step 5: Results and Follow-Up

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 — research consistently shows that repeated exposure increases response rates significantly. Many of our most successful clients run monthly or quarterly door hanger campaigns to maintain consistent neighborhood presence and top-of-mind awareness across their Houston service area.

Do you offer bilingual door hangers for Houston’s Hispanic community?
Absolutely. With 44% of Houston’s population identifying as Hispanic or Latino — approximately 1,050,000+ people in the city proper and 2.8+ million across the metro — bilingual English and Spanish door hangers are essential for maximum reach. Houston is the 4th largest Hispanic metro in the United States, with 67% Mexican American, 13% Salvadoran and Honduran American, and 20% other Hispanic communities. We offer dual-language designs with culturally appropriate messaging and language-preference demographic targeting. Professional translation is included at no additional charge.
How does door hanger marketing compare to Google Ads in Houston?
Houston is one of the most expensive digital advertising markets in Texas. Google Ads for legal keywords average $22.75 per click and can exceed $50 for personal injury. HVAC keywords cost $10-15 per click, roofing costs $10.70 per click, and the average cost per lead across all industries is $70.11. For home services, CPL climbs to $165-228. Door hangers provide a guaranteed physical impression at every targeted home with no ad blockers, no bidding wars, and complete Proof of Delivery documentation. A $5,000 Google Ads budget might generate 333-500 clicks. That same $5,000 in door hangers can reach 30,000-100,000 households with guaranteed visibility.
What industries benefit most from door hangers in Houston?
The industries that perform best with door hanger distribution in Houston include HVAC and air conditioning (Houston leads the globe in A/C usage at 17.2 hours/day), energy sector services, healthcare and medical practices, real estate (65,747 new residential units authorized in 2024), restaurants and food businesses, home services (plumbing, electrical, roofing, painting), political campaigns (Harris County has 5+ million residents), legal services, landscaping and pools, pest control, automotive services, and cleaning services. Houston’s diverse economy supports strong results across virtually every industry.
Can you target specific Houston neighborhoods like The Heights or Memorial?

How does your AI Management Platform work?
Our proprietary AI Management Platform manages, monitors, and verifies every distribution campaign across the Houston metro. Routes are assigned to verified distributors, who capture Proof of Delivery photos throughout the distribution process. Campaign progress is monitored to ensure completion to specification across all target areas. You receive a comprehensive campaign report with photographic evidence of delivery across every neighborhood in your campaign. This level of accountability is what sets us apart from every other distribution company in Houston.
What is the minimum order for Houston distribution?
We recommend a minimum of 5,000 pieces for an effective door hanger campaign in the Houston market. This provides enough coverage to generate measurable results in a targeted neighborhood or zip code. However, we handle campaigns of every size. We routinely execute campaigns of 50,000 to 500,000+ pieces across multiple Houston metro counties. From 5,000 pieces in Montrose to 500,000 across all five counties — there is no campaign too large for our infrastructure.
How long does a door hanger campaign take across Houston’s 640 square miles?
Timeline depends on campaign size and geographic scope. A neighborhood campaign of 5,000-15,000 pieces typically begins distribution within 3-5 business days of artwork approval and completes within a week. City-wide campaigns of 50,000-100,000 pieces covering multiple neighborhoods may take 1-2 weeks. Metro-wide campaigns across all five counties covering hundreds of thousands of homes are coordinated in rolling distribution waves over 2-4 weeks. Our 15,790+ distributor network allows us to cover Houston’s massive geographic footprint efficiently, even across the full 10,062-square-mile metro.
Do you cover Sugar Land, The Woodlands, and Katy?
Yes — we provide complete coverage of all major Houston suburbs. Sugar Land (Fort Bend County, population ~118,000), The Woodlands (Montgomery County, population ~120,000), and Katy (unincorporated area, population ~400,000+) are all fully covered by our distribution network. We also cover Cypress (~200,000+), Spring (~180,000+), Pearland (~130,000), League City (~115,000), Pasadena (~150,000), Conroe (~100,000+), Missouri City (~75,000), Baytown (~80,000), Kingwood (~80,000+), Friendswood (~40,000), and every other community across the five-county metro.
How effective are door hangers for Houston HVAC companies?
Houston is arguably the single best door hanger market in the entire country for HVAC companies. Houston leads the globe in air conditioning usage at 17.2 hours per day during peak summer. 41% of Houston residents run their A/C continuously. The Texas HVAC market represents an $11.3 billion industry with 9,631+ businesses competing for customers. Summer temperatures routinely exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Door hangers allow HVAC companies to reach homeowners directly before extreme heat seasons with targeted messaging about tune-ups, replacements, and emergency service — with no competition from digital ad clutter and at a fraction of the $10-15 per click Google Ads cost for HVAC keywords.
Can door hangers reach the Texas Medical Center area?
Yes. We distribute throughout the Texas Medical Center area and all surrounding neighborhoods including the Museum District, Rice University area, Third Ward, West University Place, Braeswood Place, and adjacent residential communities. The Texas Medical Center is the largest medical complex on Earth with 61 institutions, 106,000+ employees, and 320,500+ healthcare workers in the broader metro. This area is a high-value target for restaurants, services, healthcare-adjacent businesses, and any company wanting to reach the professionals who work in this massive employment center.
Do you distribute in the Energy Corridor?
Yes. The Energy Corridor in west Houston — spanning 7,000 acres with 300+ energy companies, 26 million square feet of office space, and 105,000+ workers — is fully covered by our distribution network. We also cover all surrounding residential communities in the Memorial, Katy, Cinco Ranch, and Cypress areas where many Energy Corridor workers and their families live. This is a premier high-income target area for home services, restaurants, fitness, and professional services.
What makes Direct to Door different from other Houston distribution companies?
Direct to Door Marketing has been in business since 1995 with 15,790+ verified distributors nationwide and 99% U.S. zip code coverage. We offer our proprietary AI Management Platform with Proof of Delivery photos, all-inclusive pricing covering printing and distribution, bilingual capabilities essential for Houston’s 44% Hispanic population, the ability to scale from 5,000 pieces to 5 million, and over 500 million pieces delivered. No other Houston distribution company offers this combination of technology, scale, bilingual expertise, and documented accountability.
Can you target new construction neighborhoods in Houston?
Yes. Houston authorized 65,747 new residential units in 2024 alone — the second-highest in the nation. We target new construction communities in fast-growing areas like Katy, Cypress, Fulshear (the 2nd fastest-growing city in the U.S.), Conroe, Pearland, League City, and dozens of master-planned communities across the metro. New homeowners are among the highest-responding demographics for door hanger campaigns because they are actively selecting their local service providers for HVAC, landscaping, pest control, restaurants, and virtually every other local business category.
