People rarely search for a moving company until the week they need one, and by then they grab whichever name they saw last. A door hanger that is still on the counter when that week arrives is one of the cheapest ways for a local mover to be that name. This template does the job with a design that says moving before anyone reads a word: a pile of taped kraft boxes, a navy truck parked beside them, and an orange badge promising free boxes and tape.
The Look: Navy Block, Kraft Boxes, Orange Badge
The front of this 4.25 x 11-inch hanger is split into two zones. The top half is a solid navy block holding the company name in spaced orange capitals, a huge Moving? in Archivo Black, then We’ll do the heavy lifting. with the last two words in orange. A short line underneath lists local and long-distance moves, packing, and storage.
The bottom half switches to a warm cream, like cardboard in daylight. On the right, four kraft boxes are stacked like a staircase, each with a darker flap edge, a pale strip of packing tape, and labels reading KITCHEN, BOOKS, and FRAGILE. On the left stands a navy box truck, and above it an orange starburst says FREE boxes & tape with local moves. A navy footer carries the phone number in large type and the web address with Licensed & insured.
Back Side: Packages by Home Size
The reverse is clean and white so the prices are easy to scan. Under the heading Pick the crew that fits your home sits a real table with four columns:
| Home size | Movers | Truck | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 16 ft | $299 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 16 ft | $399 |
| 2 bedrooms | 3 | 20 ft | $649 |
| 3 bedrooms | 4 | 26 ft | $949 |
| Office | 4+ | 26 ft | Free quote |
Below the table, Moving Week, sorted lists five promises with orange tick circles, from free estimates to short-term storage. A navy contact band closes the page with a round logo slot, phone, website, and a reminder to book two weeks ahead for month-end dates.
Updating Your Rates in the Price Grid
The price grid is the editor’s real Table object, not a picture. Select it and use Edit Table Data to change sizes, crew numbers, and prices. Need a 4-bedroom or Piano move line? Use Add Row and the table keeps its striped styling. If you price by the hour instead, rename the last column Per hour and enter hourly rates.
Your Logo in the Round Slot
The circle in the back footer is a photo slot. Select it and choose Replace Image to drop in your company logo or a photo of your crew; the image stays cropped to the circle. A smiling crew photo works especially well for movers, because customers are inviting strangers to handle everything they own.
Why Free Boxes Make a Strong Hook
Boxes are the first expense and the first headache of any move. Offering them free with a local booking costs a mover little, because boxes are often reused, yet it feels generous to the customer. If you prefer another offer, click the starburst text and change it: $50 off weekday moves, Free wardrobe boxes, or First hour free.
Where Movers Should Hang These
- Streets with lots of rental homes, where leases end every month.
- Neighbourhoods near a house you just moved into, while your truck is visible.
- Apartment complexes, if management allows hangers on doors.
- Homes with a For Sale or Sold sign in the street.
- Areas near universities in late spring and late summer.
Timing a Drop Around Moving Season
Most residential moves happen between May and September, with peaks at the end of each month. Drop hangers three to six weeks before the busy period, when families are deciding rather than panicking. A second drop to the same streets in August catches families who plan to move before school starts.
Tracking Which Streets Book
Change the phone line or add a short code to each batch, such as Mention code RIVER, and ask every caller where they heard about you. Within a season, you will know which neighbourhoods are worth a second drop and which are not.
Changing the Truck and Box Colours
The truck is an editable vector, so its colour can be changed in a click from the group’s colour swatches; match it to your real truck livery. The box stack is one group; ungroup it to recolour, remove a box, or change the labels. Keep the kraft brown, as it is instantly recognisable as cardboard.
Printing a Mover’s Hanger on Sturdy Card
Door hangers must survive wind and rain for a day or two. Ask a printer for 14 pt card with a gloss or UV coating on both sides. At home, choose the heaviest card your printer accepts, download as a PDF, and print the two pages back to back. The navy blocks print best on a laser printer.
Cutting Along the Guide
A dashed circle shows where the handle hole goes and a dashed line shows the slit to the top edge, mirrored on the back so the cuts line up. Professional printers die-cut both, but for short runs a 1.5-inch circle punch and a craft knife do a neat job.
Wording That Calms a Nervous Customer
Moving is stressful, and the best mover marketing sounds calm and certain. Keep phrases like fixed price, no surprise fees, and furniture wrapped and padded. Avoid jargon such as linehaul or accessorials; customers want to know the price and that their sofa will arrive in one piece.
Using It for Self-Storage or Packing Services
The same layout suits a self-storage business (Moving?Store it with us), a packing service, or a junk-free moving clean-out. Swap the truck for a storage unit illustration from the library, update the table to unit sizes and monthly prices, and you have a new campaign.
