kinnanscaping is on a distinguished road
Door hanger leads provided me some opportune jobs this past summer. One lady even took it from me while saying that she would probably not need me. She then called me up to do a quickie job about 6 weeks later. Who would have thought?

I had around 3000 hung this last summer. Our rule of thumb was this: If the house had a specific plaque or notice stating "No Soliciting" then we skipped it, mostly out of courtesy. I never had a single problem, but I did land at least 10 calls from them.

I used 3000doorhangers.com and only paid $180, shipped. I then paid high school kids to hang them. Some may say I paid too much, others too little, but I paid them $.10/hanger. All said and done, I more than recouped my $380 advertising investment (I hung a lot to begin with before getting smart and hiring out the kids, which freed me up to do the bids!)
