DIY Distribution Guide

How to run your own door-hanger drop in San Francisco

Best Drop Window

Year-round (cool climate, walkable)

  1. 1

    Start with one San Francisco ZIP — we recommend 94110 or 94117 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. 2

    Walk the block before you print. Drive Mission and SoMa on a Saturday morning to confirm the homes match your offer (single-family vs. multi-unit, gates, no-soliciting signage).

  3. 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 San Francisco doorknob.

  4. 4

    Schedule the drop for Tuesday–Thursday, 9 AM–4 PM. The City by the Bay households are most likely to see and act on door hangers within 24 hours of weekday delivery.

  5. 5

    Time it to Year-round (cool climate, walkable). That's when tech and restaurants response rates in San Francisco historically peak — ride the wave instead of fighting it.

  6. 6

    Track every drop with a unique phone number, QR code, or promo word per ZIP. After 2–3 rounds you'll know which San Francisco neighborhood deserves the next 10,000 pieces.

Local Business Impact

How Door Hangers Help Local Businesses in San Francisco

With 810K residents and 6+ distinct neighborhoods, San Francisco is large enough to scale and tight enough that one well-routed 10,000-piece drop reaches the exact homes a local business needs.

  • Saturate top San Francisco ZIPs (94110, 94117, 94114) without bidding against national chains
  • Time campaigns to Year-round (cool climate, walkable) — the highest-response window in The City by the Bay
