Industries We've Helped
Door hanger distribution works across dozens of industries. Here are some of our most common success stories.
Restaurant
Pizza • Phoenix, AZNew Pizza Restaurant Grand Opening Campaign
A new pizza restaurant opening in a competitive Phoenix neighborhood needed to build immediate awareness and drive customers during their critical first month of operation. They had no existing customer base and limited marketing budget.
Distributed 10,000 door hangers within a 3-mile radius of the restaurant featuring a "Buy One Get One Free" grand opening offer. Targeted single-family homes and apartments, focusing on residential areas with young families.
"The door hanger campaign was instrumental in getting our first customers through the door. We still have regulars today who first found us through that initial campaign."
— Restaurant Owner, PhoenixHVAC
Air Conditioning • Dallas, TXPre-Summer AC Tune-Up Campaign
An established HVAC company wanted to book their technicians solid before the busy summer season. They needed to reach homeowners in neighborhoods with older homes likely to need AC service.
Distributed 15,000 door hangers in April targeting neighborhoods with homes built before 2000. Featured a $49 AC tune-up special with a deadline to create urgency. Included phone number prominently and QR code for online booking.
"The tune-up special brought in steady appointments, but the real win was the system replacements. Many of those inspections turned into full installations when we found aging units."

Residential Agent • Los Angeles, CA12-Month Neighborhood Farming Campaign
A real estate agent wanted to establish herself as the go-to agent in a specific LA neighborhood. She needed consistent brand presence to build recognition before homeowners decided to sell.
Distributed 2,500 door hangers monthly to the same 2,500 homes for 12 consecutive months. Each month featured market updates, recent sales data, and her contact information. Consistent branding built recognition over time.
"By month six, people started recognizing my name. By month twelve, I was getting calls from homeowners saying 'I've been getting your door hangers for a year—we're ready to sell.'"
— Real Estate Agent, Los AngelesPolitical Campaign
City Council • Midwest CityFirst-Time Candidate City Council Race
A first-time candidate running for city council needed to introduce herself to voters in a district where she had low name recognition. Limited budget meant digital advertising alone wasn't enough to break through.
Three waves of 8,000 door hangers each over 6 weeks leading up to election day. First wave: candidate introduction. Second wave: key issues and endorsements. Third wave: get out the vote reminder with election date.
"Voters told me at the polls that they'd seen my door hanger. In a low-turnout local election, that recognition made the difference."
— Elected City Council MemberFitness Center
Gym • Atlanta, GANew Year Membership Drive Campaign
A local gym wanted to capitalize on New Year's resolution momentum. They needed to reach potential members in surrounding neighborhoods before they committed to competitor gyms.
Distributed 12,000 door hangers the last week of December with a "First Month Free" January promotion. Targeted residential areas within 5 miles featuring single-family homes and apartment complexes.
"January is make-or-break for gyms. The door hanger campaign brought in members who said they chose us because they saw the offer on their door—it felt more personal than an online ad."
— Gym Owner, AtlantaAutomotive Services
Mobile Detailing • San Diego, CAMobile Detailing Service Launch
A new mobile auto detailing business needed to build a customer base quickly. As a mobile service, they could work anywhere—but needed to focus marketing on neighborhoods most likely to value premium car care.
Distributed 5,000 door hangers in upscale neighborhoods with visible driveways and multi-car households. Featured a "First Detail 25% Off" introductory offer with before/after photos on the design.
"Targeting the right neighborhoods was key. The people with nice cars in their driveways were exactly who I needed to reach. Many became monthly recurring customers."
