Door
hangers Are Proven To Increase Sales
If you run a geographically based business, and
want to let your prospective customers know about you, one of the
best tools you can use is a Door hanger. They are inexpensive to
print and distribute and they reach your prospective customers directly.
A Door hanger left at someone’s house sends the message, “I
was here personally, and I have something to say directly to you.
As a customer, you are important to me.”
The most effective Door hangers are the ones that look like a
“Do Not Disturb” sign. Success with this type of advertising
once again depends heavily on the headline. Your Door hanger must
have an immediate impact on the recipient to produce results. A
well designed Door hanger is sure to be read by the person who pulls
it off the doorknob. As soon as the person picks it up, the message
is conveyed — Now That’s Direct Advertising!
The call to action should be primary. “You could eat a Hot
Pizza tonight instead of cooking” is a great headline. Imagine
the person coming home from a long day at work to find a Door hanger
with this headline and a coupon from the local pizzeria. The Door
hanger certainly puts the bug in their ear.
Experience has also shown that Door hanger campaigns must be repeated
several times before maximum results are realized. After all, a
customer who does not order a pizza the first time he sees the offer,
may succumb the following week.
Tips For Doorhanger Design
• A short, punchy headline is most effective.
• Don’t skimp on the production. They are already inexpensive,
so don’t cut corners.
Print your doorhangers using both sides and add a dash of
color.
• Use color intelligently. The doorhanger has to stand out
but clarity is more important
than flashiness.
• Check your Yellow pages under “Advertising Circulars”
or “Distribution”.
Many cities have businesses that specialize in this service.
Not as cheap as hiring a kid,
but more reliable.
