What Is Neighborhood Door Hanger Distribution?

Neighborhood door hanger distribution is a hyper-local marketing strategy that delivers your promotional materials directly to residential doors within a specific area—whether that's a single subdivision, a zip code, or a custom-drawn boundary around your ideal customers.

Unlike digital ads that get scrolled past or direct mail that arrives with a stack of other pieces, door hangers demand attention. When a homeowner arrives home, your message is waiting for them—physically attached to their door. They must pick it up, giving you a guaranteed 7-10 seconds of attention as they walk from the door to anywhere else in their home.

This isn't mass marketing. This is precision marketing. You choose exactly which streets, which neighborhoods, and which homes receive your message. And with Direct to Door Marketing's photo verification system, you'll see proof that your door hangers reached their destination.

Why Door Hangers Beat Direct Mail

Marketing experts recommend mailing to the same household 7 times to make an impression—that's expensive and wasteful. With door hangers, 2 separate campaigns spaced 3-4 weeks apart typically achieve better results. The first campaign introduces you; the second builds recognition. The homeowner sees every single door hanger because they must physically remove it. Mail gets lost in the shuffle. Door hangers don't.

The Two-Campaign Saturation Strategy

How to maximize your door hanger results

Your First Campaign Introduces You. Your Second Closes the Deal.

Here's something most businesses don't realize: a single door hanger campaign introduces your business to the neighborhood. But the real magic happens when you come back 3-4 weeks later with a second campaign to the same area.

The first time a homeowner sees your door hanger, they become aware of you. The second time, they recognize you—and that's when they're most likely to take action. This two-campaign approach typically delivers significantly stronger results than a single larger campaign spread across a wider area.

Pro tip: Your second campaign should have different artwork and a different call to action than your first. The first campaign introduces your business and makes your main offer. The second campaign builds on that recognition—maybe with a "We're back!" message, a limited-time offer, or a different promotion. This keeps your marketing fresh and lets you test what resonates with your audience.

Plan Your Follow-Up Now

When you place your first order, let us know you're planning a second campaign. We'll note your target area and help you schedule your follow-up for 3-4 weeks later with fresh artwork and a new message.

Why We Recommend Starting with 5,000 Pieces

Our minimum is 1,000 pieces, but here's what we've learned after 30 years: smaller campaigns often don't tell the full story. With 1,000 pieces, you're covering a relatively small area—and when results are limited, it's hard to know whether it was your offer, your design, your timing, or simply not enough coverage.

With 5,000 pieces, you reach more of your target market and get a much clearer picture of how your campaign performs. You're not guessing—you're making informed decisions about what to do next.

Neighborhood Distribution FAQs

What is neighborhood door hanger distribution?

Neighborhood door hanger distribution is a hyper-local marketing service that delivers your promotional materials directly to residential doors within a specific neighborhood, subdivision, or zip code. Unlike mail that gets lost with other spam, door hangers must be physically removed from the door, guaranteeing 7-10 seconds of attention from every homeowner.

How many door hangers should I distribute in my neighborhood?

While our minimum is 1,000 pieces, we recommend starting with at least 5,000 pieces for your first campaign. Here's why: 1,000 pieces covers a relatively small area, and when results are limited, it's difficult to know whether it was your offer, your design, or simply not enough coverage. With 5,000 pieces, you reach more of your target market and get a clearer picture of how your campaign performs. For ongoing success, plan a second campaign to the same area about 3-4 weeks later—this builds recognition and typically delivers stronger results.

How do door hangers compare to direct mail for local marketing?

Door hangers significantly outperform direct mail for local marketing. With mail, your piece arrives with numerous other items and often gets discarded without being seen.

Door hangers guarantee visibility because homeowners must physically remove them from their door, giving you 7-10 seconds of guaranteed attention. Two door hanger campaigns spaced 3-4 weeks apart typically achieve what takes 7+ mailings with direct mail.
