Door hangers ..targeting neighborhoods and distribution questions

[Eric F.]

Does anyone use door hangers? I ordered 1,000 of them and am trying to determine the best way and places to distribute them. What type of neighborhoods would you target? What criteria? What times do you put them out?

Do you try to knock on doors if you think the person is home or do you just put on the hanger and leave even if you know they are home?

I am considering hiring out the distribution process, however I do find walking a neighborhood and door knocking is a) fun and b) a chance to learn a lot. I have not gotten a deal yet but I do enjoy it. I’ll probably hire it out for the most part and occasionally distribute myself. The 1,000 is a test order, if I like them I will place a bigger order.

Last question, if anyone has had great success with these what design did you use?

Thanks

Eric
