Professional Distribution

Trained distributors walk every targeted street, placing door hangers on the front door of each home. Photo verification captures completed sections as proof of delivery. Supervisors conduct random quality checks.

Verification & Reporting

Once distribution is complete, you’ll be notified through our AI Management Platform. Photo documentation proves your door hangers were delivered to the targeted areas. You can review delivery progress and verification photos anytime through the platform. Any issues identified during distribution are immediately corrected at no additional cost.
