Question

What print format works best for door-to-door distribution?

Answer

For handing pieces out house to house, you want a format that stays put, stays visible, and does not depend on mailbox access. That rules out anything loose or mail-only.

  • Door hangers: The top choice. They loop over a doorknob, stay in plain view, and do not blow away.
  • Flyers: A solid option when placed in a door clip or tucked under a mat, though loose flyers can scatter in wind.
  • Postcards: Better suited for USPS direct mail than for hand delivery, since they need a mailbox to land in.

If your campaign relies on foot crews covering neighborhoods, door hangers give you the most reliable placement per drop.
