Door hanger advertising is a hyperlocal direct marketing format that places printed promotional material on doors at selected residential properties and communities. Unlike general street distribution, door hanger campaigns can be planned around specific geographic areas, allowing businesses to focus distribution on selected neighbourhoods, villas, apartment buildings and residential communities in Dubai.
OAU helps businesses plan and coordinate door hanger distribution campaigns across selected areas in Dubai based on campaign objectives, distribution quantity, preferred locations and schedule. Distribution is subject to property access, community management requirements and applicable permissions.

Distribution & Access Note: Door hanger distribution is subject to access and permission requirements. Not every apartment building, villa community or managed development permits promotional material to be placed on residential doors. Distribution should only be undertaken at locations where the required property, building, community-management or other applicable permissions have been obtained.
Campaign Measurement Note: Door hanger campaigns should primarily be measured by the agreed number of units distributed rather than the overall population or estimated monthly audience of a community. Actual campaign response can vary according to the target area, property type, offer, creative, distribution quality, timing and call to action.
