Posting flyers or door hangers more effective?

I have done flyers for my dog waste management company and while it is the least expensive it is not as effective as you might think. Waste of your time and as business owners our time is valuable. Knocking on doors is effective but what worked for me was a google partnership and leaving business cards at local business that was relevant to my business if that makes sense. But in Person and showing face is far more effective in my opinion.

I personally love door to door sales. It has been effective at finding the customers im looking for. Im always ready to hear no, but when a service is obviously needed it's a good way to get work.

Hey brother,

I would do Postcards (6x9) double sided...it allows you to put more information and also pictures. Then put out about 1k of these per month at peoples homes by utilizing some "target Marketing" strategies. 

I've had a lot of success with door hangers with a handyman business. I haven't done flyers or door knocking so I can't compare it. 

For a boat washing and detailing business, door hangers tend to be more effective than flyers,  if you’re targeting the right neighborhoods and marinas. Nothing beats a quick face-to-face intro especially when you’re already in the area detailing another boat. Combine door hangers + in-person contact. Leave a door hanger after chatting so they have a takeaway. That combo builds trust and conversion.

I prefer digital marketing, and door to door marketing the most effective. 

Right now just google my business, but it can be very off and on. 

I'm just starting my business and this is something I was thinking of doing.Has it been effective

I feel like in person because future customers can interact with you on a personal level

I keep it simple and pass out in person, family, friends, people I meet while putting gas or if I’m driving by a potential house I’ll pull over and introduce myself. I’m just starting out and have yet to do door to door.
