[O376]Over The Door Hangers

by Kate Manheaven, Kat

Door hangers are not for hotels anymore. They can be created as gifts, sold as novelty items or they can also be part of a larger marketing campaign. Of course you can also make a few
for your own personal use as well. Most people have come up with fun, unusual but
effective door hanger designs used for those purposes. How about you? Are you trying to think of a creative new door hanger printing design?
If you are then you have come to the right place. Below are a few aspects of door hanger design that people exploit creatively. These should give you inspiration when you start designing and printing .

Custom messages
The most common and obvious way to produce a creative door hanger is to change its message. Leave those "do not disturb" or "please clean
this room" designs in the trash. Its time to think of a few catchy phrases that should make your door hanger and probably the room beyond it popular. A good way to start with this is to think of what is usually going on in that room. If it is your office then think of a creative phrase that relates to your work. For example, if you are a writer then maybe your door hanger can say "off to the writer's strike!." If you are a bit of a megalomaniac, you can have the printed words, "off to conquer Canada." As you can see it is nice to inject some good humor into these phrases.
Of course if it is a marketing door hanger you should relate the message with your business, project or campaign. You can have phrases like "Bob's Hardware, the place to buy doorknobs." Or in terms of a campaign, you can have something like, "Resolution 101 protects your home and your family Vote now!" Take note though that it is good to connect the message to the home, or the door. It somewhat reinforces the reason why the door hanger is there.

Changing shapes
Besides thinking of a good message you can think of changing the shape of the door hanger itself. Most
have a loop or hole for
the door knob, and then a piece of material leading down for themessage. You can easily modify this to your own ends. If it is a Christmas greeting door hanger, why not change the shape to a snowflake? Or if it is for a personal room, you can have it shaped like a big lock to give the message that the door must not be opened. For awareness campaigns maybe you can change the shape to fit the issue you are advocating. For example, if you are soliciting for a fund raising campaign for orphans, why not have an orphan baby
? Wouldn't that be cute? All in all, try to exploit the shape of the door hanger to make it unique and memorable. Trust us, it will work to your advantage.

Special effects
Lastly, you could put some special effects to your door hanger. Though of course this may increase the cost of its production. A popular door hanger would be a "glow in the dark" one. You can have it printed in luminous paper that glows in the dark and then you can add a
radioactive sign on it. A "baby is sleeping" door hanger can have a small musical chip that plays a gentle lullaby. Also, an "Open me Now" door hanger can have blinking lights to catch attention. Think of eye-catching special effects like this should make your door hanger quite interesting.

So did that give you a few ideas? We hope it would.
printing is actually a versatile tool. So design them well and you'll be enjoying their benefits. Good luck!

Door hangers are typically used for business and marketing. However, have you thought about using door hangers as a gift? That's right! You can use custom door hanger printing to give your family, friends and customers a unique and very useful gift. It might sound unusual, but you can actually design your color door hanger to act like a greeting card, but still attain its usefulness as a door hanger. Below are a few ideas on how to design door hangers for different people.

For family

Designing custom door hangers for family is quite a joyous experience. The good thing about this concept is that you know what your family member's room looks like, as well as their interests. So it is easy to think up a theme that you can integrate into your door hanger design. For example, if your son or daughter is interested in painting and art, you can design a door hanger with the words “artist at work.” If you are creating a door hanger for your father you can print “best dad in the world is busy”. Just let loose your imagination and write the best tag lines that you can think of.

Don't forget to place a small personal message at the back to serve as your greeting for the person that you are giving the door hanger to.

For your employees or co-workers

You can also give your employees or co-workers custom door hangers as a give away or gift. This can satisfy two objectives. One is that you can improve your internal image within the company, and two it can be a simple gift or give away that most employers give to their employees. With these objectives in mind, your custom door hanger design for employees should typically have the company logo printed on it. This increases the company's overall exposure so that people are reminded of where they work. To lighten things up though, you can just add simple but funny messages like “best employee at work” or “out using the company expense account”. Besides this, don't forget to add a personal message at the back of the color door hanger so that it can act as a greeting card for you as well.

For your customers and clients

Lastly, you can also create door hanger designs aimed for your customers or clients. Since door hangers can be useful even at home, you can give them as give aways as customers buy products from you. Integrate some promotional messages in your door hanger design, and they will become marketing door hangers as well. People will have little reminders about your store at their own home. Clever right?

Also, you can actually create marketing door hangers, and hang them in the neighborhood near your store. Add tear away coupons, and you'll see the people in the neighborhood take interesting in your shop. This should actually increase your local sales and probably net you a few loyal customers.

As you can see, door hangers are a great gift or give away for different people. You can use them to convey your affections to close family members. Also they can improve your image with employees and customers alike. Truly door hanger printing is a worthy investment for a lot of purposes. So go ahead and print your door hangers now.
