🎯 Guerrilla Marketing

The Neighbor Door-Hanger Blitz

Every delivery or install is an excuse to introduce yourself to the 20 houses around it.

Easy💰 $50–$200⏱ 1–2 weeks#local#direct-mail#home-services

🎯 The Play

After you deliver or complete a job, hang a short note on the doors of nearby homes: ‘We just helped your neighbor on Maple St. with X. Since we’re in the area, here’s Y.’ Social proof from someone on their street beats any generic flyer, and it costs paper and a walk.

🏁 End Result

Usually a steady trickle of 'I saw you helped my neighbor' calls that compound as you cover more streets. Low cost per lead compared with most paid channels.

🧰 Steal It

  1. Ask the customer if you can mention their street (never their name/address without permission).
  2. Print door hangers with a fill-in blank for the street name.
  3. Hang on 15–25 nearby doors right after each job.
  4. Include a neighbor-only offer with an expiry date to drive urgency.
  5. Use a unique phone number or code to track responses.

Copy-paste AI prompt

Write 3 versions of a short door-hanger for a {business type} that just completed a job on {street}. Under 60 words each, friendly, with a neighbor-only offer that expires in 14 days and a clear call to action.

Replace the {placeholders}. Works in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini, etc.
