It's doorhanger season!

Where do you get your leads so you only mail the post cards to people who are self employed or business owners?

Another question, What site do you guys use to order your doorhangers and post cards?

Yes, it's spring which means barbecuing, mowing the lawn and doorhangers. I started doing these in '04 - have not missed a season.

I would think you would want both a bigger font for your website, like much bigger so people don't have to search. Also a toll-free phone number. Some people will just never use the internet.

But I've never done door hangers so I don't know.

Door Hangers - Printing - DoorHangers.com

Also good point - you need to add your list cost to the postcard mailers. No list costs with doorhangers.

It's big as day on the left column.

Great Info and thanks for the breakdown on the numbers-- really helps!

I average a 2.2% response.

It only goes to self-employed and small business prospects.

What company do you get your list from?

I personally prefer the doorhanger method since I can selectively choose the locations.

You can achieve the same thing with zipcodes.

Answers to a couple of queries...

My postcards are done in-house.

Sorry, won't divulge list sources. I do have competitors, you know.

I'm actually hoping for 2% this time 'round. If that happens it'll be fantastic - 40 deals out of 10,000 hangers. It's conceivable to get 10,000 a month, throw in 40 deals a month and call it a life.

My issue in the past has been farming it out. Daunting in high volume and this is where doorhangers expose their weakness over mailers.

You can send out 50,000 mailers if you have the cake - getting out 50,000 hangers means 50,000 townhomes in areas don't don't post "no soliciting." Of course, that needs to be scouted out which is leg work.

Go slap up 500 of 'em in a no-soliciting neighborhood, sit back and wait for the call from the HOA president threatening legal action.

Hangers work well in a manageable volume.
