A fresh coat of paint is one of the most satisfying home improvements, and painters have a natural advantage in marketing: their product is colour. This door hanger celebrates it. A row of rainbow paint drips runs down from beneath the door hole, a painted yellow brushstroke offers a free colour consultation, and the headline says what many homeowners secretly think: Love the house.Change the colour. On the back, five colour swatches introduce the types of projects you take on.
Five Colours Dripping Down
The hanger is 4.25 x 11 inches, printed on both sides. The front is white. Just below the hole area, five bands of colour (red, yellow, green, blue and purple) run edge to edge, each with three rounded drips of different lengths falling from it, like fresh paint. Under the drips, FreshCoat Painters is set in blue, spaced capitals, followed by Love the house. In navy, change the colour. In red, both in bold Poppins. A grey line promises interior and exterior painting, clean lines, tidy crews, and a firm quote in 48 hours. A tilted yellow brushstroke with a paint roller reads Free colour consult, and a deep navy footer carries the phone number and website.
Back: Choose Your Project
The back’s headline, Pick your project, sits above five rows, each with a tall coloured swatch, a project name, and a short description: interior rooms (walls, ceilings, trim and doors), exterior (siding, trim, shutters and decks), cabinets (kitchen and bath refinishing), fences and decks (staining and sealing), and drywall (patch, repair and texture). Three green ticks promise free written estimates, premium low-VOC paints and a two-year warranty, and a navy contact band with a logo slot finishes the card.
Why a Colour Consultation Is a Great Hook
Many homeowners delay painting because they cannot choose colours. Offering a free colour consultation removes that obstacle and gets you into the house, where you can measure and quote. It also positions your company as design-savvy rather than just a crew with brushes. Some painters partner with a local paint store to offer free sample pots, which makes the offer even more tangible.
Customising the Drips
The drips are a single group, so they stay aligned while you edit text. Ungroup them to change colours, for example to your brand palette or to the season’s trending paint colours. A monochrome version in shades of one colour, such as blues from sky to navy, looks sophisticated for a premium painting company. Keep the drips clear of the hole area at the top; that part of the card will be cut away.
Seasonal Paint Colour Ideas for the Drips
Editing the Project Rows
Each project row has a coloured swatch shape, a bold title and a description. Click to edit text; recolour the swatch to match. If you specialise, replace a row: Commercial for offices and shops, Epoxy floors for garages, or Wallpaper removal. Keep five or fewer rows so the back stays easy to read.
Adding Your Logo and Contact
The round shape in the back’s contact band is a logo slot. Choose Replace Image to upload your logo. Update the phone number and website in the front footer and the back band; double-check them, since a typo on a phone number wastes the whole print run.
The Hole Guide
The white circle with a dashed line at the top is where the doorknob goes; the dashed slit next to it shows where to cut so the hanger slips on. Ask your print shop for a standard door hanger die-cut, or cut a few by hand for testing.
Printing Colour Accurately
For a painting company, colour accuracy matters: customers notice if the red looks orange. Download as a PDF and print with a reputable shop on coated cardstock, which makes colours vivid. Ask for a printed proof before the full run. If you print at home, choose a high-quality setting on bright white card.
Distribution Strategy for Painters
Hang hangers around houses you are currently painting; neighbours see the transformation in progress and the hanger at the same time. Exterior painting season peaks in late spring and summer, while interior work fills the winter. A second distribution in autumn with a book your winter interior project offer keeps crews busy year-round.
Quoting Paint Jobs Quickly
The hanger promises a firm quote within 48 hours, so be ready to deliver. Many painters quote interior rooms by the room (for example, $350 to $500 for an average bedroom, walls only) and exteriors by square footage and number of storeys. Take photos during the walk-through, measure with a laser tool, and send a clear written quote that lists prep work, number of coats, paint brand, and the start date. Fast, professional quotes turn the interest the hanger created into signed jobs.
Before-and-After Photos as Social Proof
Painting is visual, so before-and-after photos are your best sales tool. Add a small pair of photos to the back of the hanger, or print a QR code linking to your gallery. Always ask clients for permission to photograph their home, and avoid showing house numbers.
