If you have ever stayed at a hotel, chances are you have seen the door hangers that say do not disturb. This simple printed sign delivers a message from you to the person who might be coming to clean your room. For decades door hangers have proven themselves a useful and effective form of communication and now some businesses are utilizing these cost effective tools as part of their companies marketing strategy. When people check the mail and find envelope upon envelope of offers from various companies most people throw the whole stack in the trash without giving them a second glance.

Target Market with Door Hangers

Using door hangers for your target marketing will put your brands image literally at people’s fingertips. Your potential customers will not have to open an envelope to see what you’re selling. Your products information will be right there on their front door instead of clumped together in the mail box with dozens of other companies’ information. Here are a few tips and possible companies who can benefit from creating a custom door hanger to promote their business.

You should think of a door hanger as a durable, easy to save, business card. These rectangular two sided marketing materials can deliver information and get potential customers attention but they are also useful as a reminder that can be easily stored in people’s homes to provide them with your information the future. When you are creating the design for your door hanger you want to include an image that will make people want to know more about your company.

One or Two-Sided?

Most professional printers offer two sided door hangers. If you have lots of information to communicate you should consider including all of the text intensive design on one side of the hanger and utilize the other side for a more eye-popping graphic based design like your company’s logo or a simple clever slogan and graphic. If you are promoting your business near a holiday turn your door hanger into a holiday themed decoration that people are likely to hang on an interior door in their home. If you hanger is visible during a holiday party, not only will you have raised your brands visibility with the host but all of their guests will see your marketing tool as well.

A Marketing Tool for All Businesses

Door hangers also make great tools for new local businesses or local businesses that are trying to reach out and inform potential new customers about changes that have recently taken place. Everyone like coupons and what better way to reach out and invite people to come check out your business than hanging a door hanger with a coupon on their front door?

Social Experience

There have been many relationships for me over the years. I have met many interesting people. There were the friends and teachers from grade school who you have your first real relationships. The first girl that you kissed and you knew that this time would last forever. The bully at recess, who you knew would have a tough life ahead of them. The other kids who stayed overnight to play hide and seek in the basement. The fun we had, and the dreams we had we knew would keep us all together. I had different friends in high school, some were the jocks and some were the geeks. We went to prom together like everyone else, yet it seemed that the interaction among us started to change. The feelings were stronger and the pain was longer. The weekdays were just as long as the weekends were short. The breakup after 3 months with a girlfriend seemed like this time would last forever. School was tough in other ways too. I had a lot of friends, but it seemed like there were bigger things to come after graduation. We all went our separate ways to meet other new friends. We moved on to new adventures. Meeting new people in college and working odd jobs became a whole new social experience for me. Working at a restaurant and meeting middle-aged men washing dishes seemed a little unusual, but then I began to think about what their circumstances were about. I met a girl who was about 10 years older than me and she was a single mom, she was going to school at night and she worked as a cook. Her story was how she wanted to help her son by getting him into a better school, since he had difficulties learning. The other cook was proud to moving up at the restaurant as a the head cook, he had been there for nearly 4 years. The older lady at the check out was here to make some money and to make new friends since her husband had passed away. I realized that this was just a moment for me while during school, this was a big deal to them. Some days I did not want to work, because school was getting me down. As I looked at the others and their situations, I began to realize that my experiences were not about me, but about everyone else.

After college I got a job far away from family and friends because it was the best opportunity at the time. Although, I began to see more hardships of others around me. I was not always the type who considered the glass half empty, but I guess this kind of stuff was more evident to me than the good things at this point. As I moved on into my adult life I guess I really began to understand my life lesson. I began my first real job in sales and have not looked back since. I will share my job experiences on a future post. I have learned how to better see and feel the needs of others. This has helped me in my experiences with others. No matter how difficult your life may seem, there is always someone who has a bigger challenge.
I have now begun to explore other personal experiences on the web and have enjoyed blogs and forums like these to share and read about others. Words cannot describe that the world is so much bigger than you are, look outside yourself to see inside of others and you will have a more positive social experience.

Best Buy, Great Customer Service

Best Buy has really outdone themselves in the customer service arena. I received in the mail a $50 gift card and a letter from Best Buy. Please see the photo of the letter below. In the letter they state that they know I purchased a HD-DVD player and since Toshiba will no longer be producing HD DVD players the stuidos will not be releasing any more movies in the HD DVD format. Blu-ray technology beat HD DVD.

They go on to write, “…you have purchase a HD DVD player and as a result we are sening you a Best Buy gift card to treat yourself.” Additionally they end with this bit of good news, “If you are interested in trading in your HD DVD player and HD DVDs, you can visit BestBuyTradeIn.com where we accept HD DVD hardware…for addtional Best Buy gift cards base on its market value.”

Well, kudos to Best Buy and be safe in the knowledge that you have a customer for life. Like I needed another reason to not visit Circuit City. So if you were like me and bet on the wrong horse and bought a HD DVD player from Best Buy you may be receiving a gift card in the mail.

When Best Buy writes, “We truly appreciate you as a customer,” I believe them.
