Door Hangers Direct, Delivery Information

We operate on the same ratio of mail carriers as the Post Office. We allocate 1 carrier for every 700 address' to be delivered per day. Can it be done with less carriers? Well...NO! Think about it, to  deliver 700 addresses per day, a carrier needs to average 1 address EACH MINUTE! For 7 hours. We work 8 hour days but with travel time and breaks we average about 7 hours per day.

There are other inherent costs involved in door to door delivery. You need a van driver/crew chief to bring the carriers to the area and reload them with paper along their route. A second level of supervision is needed to assure quality control. Our supervisors are attentive to the residents living in the delivery area and make a special effort to be responsive to concerns that arise from any delivery. Some door to door companies try to save money by using 1 van/crew chief per route of 10,000 we find that to be a logistical nightmare.

Think about 1 van trying to locate and control 10 carriers over a 5 square mile area & you can get an idea of the difficulties involved. We break down all our deliveries into routes of 2,800 which assure a more "eyes on" approach to quality control. We allocate each carrier with 200 door hangers at a time and frequently re-load them throughout the day. This guarantees quality and is much better than the standard practice of providing a carrier 700 door hangers & saying "I'll pick you up on the other side of town in 7 hours" We are so confident in our system that we invite you or anyone from your company to meet the delivery crew at anytime. You can meet the driver/crew chief, see the carriers in action, ride along with the delivery van, to see first hand the quality delivery you are getting.

IS THERE A WAY TO GET A LOWER AD RATE?

There IS a way to get a lower ad rate! Let me explain it this way! Independent Home Delivery companies operate under a "The customer is always right, even when they shoot themselves in the foot" attitude. When confronted with a hard line customer demanding a lower rate for delivery, these companies take the discounted delivery assignment & do the best they can because they know that the customer will just take the job to a competitor. Companies who insist on a lower rate, are really negotiating how many of their advertising pieces are going to be discarded. The success of our business is based upon maximum impact, direct response results and the success of our advertisers.

Therefore we cannot sacrifice our delivery to reduce our rates. Our radio-dispatched fleet of carriers are double-supervised every step of the way, so you are always assured of getting the thorough, high quality delivery.
