Best Drop Window
April–October
- 1
Start with one Detroit ZIP — we recommend 48226 or 48201 for first-time campaigns. A 2,500-piece test drop costs less than a week of paid ads and gives you real route data.
- 2
Walk the block before you print. Drive Downtown and Midtown on a Saturday morning to confirm the homes match your offer (single-family vs. multi-unit, gates, no-soliciting signage).
- 3
Print on 14pt or 16pt cardstock with a bold offer in the top third — that's the only part visible from the sidewalk when the hanger is on a Detroit doorknob.
- 4
Schedule the drop for Tuesday–Thursday, 9 AM–4 PM. Motor City households are most likely to see and act on door hangers within 24 hours of weekday delivery.
- 5
Time it to April–October. That's when auto and restaurants response rates in Detroit historically peak — ride the wave instead of fighting it.
- 6
Track every drop with a unique phone number, QR code, or promo word per ZIP. After 2–3 rounds you'll know which Detroit neighborhood deserves the next 10,000 pieces.
