Many times there needs to be a combination of needs and interest to cause the action that the “message” targets.
The other day I found a door hanger flyer stuffed in my car door. I should tell you the back story so you understand why the action was 50% message and 50% need.
For many years I have stopped for lunch at a certain Chinese restaurant every so often. There is a car wash that shares the parking lot. Over the years I have never used their service. The car wash had changed names several times. It sold a name brand gas for a while as well. Recently it closed down and after a time it was fully remodeled. Both cosmetically and mechanically as well. With another name change it re-opened. But, still I never used them. No reason, just wasn’t something that was a purchase.
After shopping at a nearby Wal-Mart, I found the door hanger on my car. The offer was very straight forward. A Grand Opening Special. The offer was a Free eight dollar car wash. The timing was two parts my was really in need of a bath and I had a bit of free time.
So after many years I was a potential customer who took the time to respond to their offer. The employees were friendly and they did a good job. So now you can say I have changed into a “real” customer. Do door hangers work? Yes, of course they do. If you put out a thousand targeted messages and the timing is right a percentage of your offers will get the desired response.
In this case there was no “Free” lunch, but, there was a free car wash and because of their service they have “captured” a customer.
Was the actual quality of the design special or perfect. No, using black text on a dark blue background diminished the effectiveness of part of the message. The important thing was they did a promotion that will help them have more paying customers in the future.
