Philly's row-house grid is a flyer distributor's dream — a single team can hit hundreds of doors per hour across South Philly or Fishtown without ever crossing a major road.
Philadelphia is a 1.5M-resident market known as City of Brotherly Love, with routes through Fishtown, Northern Liberties, South Philly and high-value ZIPs like 19147, 19130, 19125.
Door hangers help Philadelphia businesses reach local households directly, promote seasonal offers during March–November, and drive calls from neighborhoods digital ads miss.

Best Drop Window
March–November
Map your route before you print a single piece. Pick 3–5 contiguous streets in Fishtown or South Philly so a single walker can cover 400–700 doors per hour without backtracking.
Match the creative to the climate — row-house density that's perfect for walking distribution. A door hanger that ignores the season feels generic; one that references it feels like a neighbor.
Use a 4" x 9" or 4" x 11" hanger with a die-cut top — anything smaller gets lost on Philadelphia doorknobs and anything larger blows around in the wind.
Drop early in the week so the hanger is still on the door when Philadelphia homeowners come home Friday and plan weekend purchases.
Lead with a City of Brotherly Love-specific hook. "Serving Fishtown since…" or "Now in Northern Liberties" outperforms generic copy by 2–3x in our internal A/B tests.
Use ZIPs 19147, 19130, 19125 as your testing ladder — start in the most responsive, then expand outward as you learn what your cost-per-call looks like.
Local Business Impact
For Philadelphia small businesses, door hanger advertising consistently outperforms paid digital on a cost-per-customer basis. A printed door hanger in 48-pound stock hangs on a Philadelphia homeowner's front door until they remove it — that's hours of brand exposure no Instagram ad can match. Restaurants and Cheesesteak Shops businesses in City of Brotherly Love use door hangers to introduce themselves to a new street the same week they open, drop seasonal offers ahead of the March–November window, and re-target loyal ZIPs (19147, 19130, 19125) without bidding against national chains for keywords. With 1.5M residents and 6+ distinct neighborhoods, Philadelphia is large enough to scale and tight enough that one well-routed 10,000-piece drop reaches the exact homes a local business needs.
