Door Hanger Campaigns
The one piece of direct marketing that cannot be thrown out with the mail. It waits on the handle until someone opens the door.

Door Hanger Printing for San Antonio Home Services
Door hangers work because of where they land. Mail competes with a stack of other mail. A door hanger sits alone on the handle of a house someone is about to walk into, and it gets touched before it gets judged.
That makes them the natural fit for home service work: lawn care, pest control, roofing, plumbing, HVAC, pressure washing, garage doors, and remodeling. They are also how a crew turns one job into three, by hanging the street they are already working.
The format rewards discipline. The top of the piece is what gets read while the handle is still in someone's hand, so the offer belongs up high. Everything else, the license number, the service list, the second offer, goes below the fold of attention.
We print door hangers with a UV gloss coating and a handle slot at our San Antonio, TX shop, and the whole run can be configured and ordered online.
What Door Hangers Are Best For
Neighborhood Saturation
Cover a subdivision street by street. Route-based distribution puts your offer on every door in an area you can actually service.
Working the Street You Are On
Crews already on a job hang the surrounding houses. The truck in the driveway becomes the proof the door hanger is talking about.
Apartment and Complex Runs
Uniform doors and dense unit counts make apartment buildings efficient ground for a service or move-in offer.
Time-Bound Offers
Seasonal tune-ups, pre-summer checks, and storm response offers land while the need is current and the piece is still on the handle.
Cut and Coated
Cover stock with a UV gloss coating and a punched handle slot, so the piece survives weather and a day of hanging.
Printed Both Sides
Front carries the offer, back carries the service list, license number, and the reason to keep it on the fridge.
Waiting on the Handle
It gets touched before it gets judged.
Doors in a Row
Dense unit counts make complexes efficient ground.
Put the Offer at the Top
A door hanger is read at arm's length while someone is unlocking a door, so the top third decides whether the rest gets read at all. Put the single strongest offer there, in type big enough to read without stopping. Push the service list, the license number, the second offer, and the fine print below it. If your artwork leads with a logo and a company name, the offer is already too far down, and we will tell you so before it prints.

Door Hanger FAQ
Start from the route, not the price break. Count the doors in the neighborhoods you can genuinely service this season, then order to that number with a small overage for damage and reruns. Ordering five thousand for a route of eight hundred doors just fills a closet.
One offer, stated plainly, in the top third of the piece. That is the part someone reads at arm's length while unlocking the door. Your service list, license number, and secondary offers work better on the back or lower on the front.
Door hangers are generally distributed by hand on the handle rather than placed in a mailbox, which is why the format exists. Rules can vary by neighborhood, HOA, and property, so confirm the restrictions for the areas you plan to work before your crew goes out.
They are printed on cover stock with a UV gloss coating, which is built for a day on a handle and typical outdoor exposure. They are a distribution piece, not permanent signage, so plan them around a campaign window.
