How to make a door hanger?

Putting together a door hanger that gets the job done begins with a plan. Decide on a clear focus and strategy for your door hanger marketing campaign, then collect all the pieces you’ll need to get it done. Think through your company’s branding philosophy as you pull together your logo, original content, relevant images, and a clear understanding of what you want the recipients of your door hangers to DO in response. Plan in place, browse MyCreativeShop’s catalog of door hanger templates until you land on the one that’s right for you. Make it your own by replacing placeholder text with your original content, either by copy/pasting or typing directly into the textboxes. Bring it into your family of marketing materials by applying your own custom brand colors, logo and photos. Continue making it your own by changing font styles, sizes, and colors or inserting shapes, patterns, icons, and arrows. As with any design project, proofread, proofread, proofread! When you’re satisfied that your finished product says everything you wanted it to, send it off to print.

A solid plan and high quality inputs will come together to make an effective door hanger. For more tips and other helpful tidbits, check out our blog post - How to Make a Door Hanger: Your Guide to Success.

How effective is door hanger advertising?

The effectiveness of door hanger advertising is not something that has been studied widely in recent years; however, we can make a few basic (informed) estimates based on other research. For instance, we can likely predict that a door hanger left at a home (with or without in-person follow-up)  is equally or more likely to be read than a postcard or flyer delivered to their mailbox. The United States Direct Marketing Association found that, in 2015, 42% of direct mail recipients read or scanned the pieces they received. They also learned that the direct mail response rate was 3.7% and that the average ROI for direct mail campaigns was between 15 and 17%. Granted, door hangers are not identical to direct mail postcards or flyers, but they do share enough similarities for us to predict a relatively comparable response rate.
