Door hangers may be synonymous with hotel ‘do not disturb’ signs – but they can offer a lot more than just letting guests enjoy a lie-in.
They’re actually particularly useful for the automotive industry too; since most hangers can hook over car door handles and interior rear-view mirrors. If you work with cars, here’s just a few of the ways door hangers can offer value for your business.
Car servicing garages, valeting services and dealerships
If you’re working with vehicle interiors on a daily basis, hangers can be a great way to drive repeat business and positive word-of-mouth. Just hook a ‘thank you’ hanger with your branding and contact details onto each customer’s rear view mirror, so they’ll still be thinking of your brand on the drive home.
For car dealerships, a hanger on the rear-view mirror can also be used to communicate prices, extras and your unique selling points – perfect for helping you close the deal when customers try out the interior.
And they’re not just for marketing. As customers come and go throughout the day, hangers can be handy for keeping track of their service orders, or simply their place in the queue.
Parking permits and access control
When it comes to parking, hanger parking permits keep everyone happy. Motorists can keep their dashboard free of clutter, and attendants can see which cars have a permit – and which cars are illegally parked – at a glance.
This is particularly useful if you’re hosting a festival, outdoor event or perhaps a holiday camp with parking facilities for paying guests. Just give each driver a mirror hanger at the gate!
You can even combine these with uniquely-printed barcodes and QR codes, which is ideal if you’re using scanner technology for your parking facility’s access control. Drivers don’t have to fumble around in the glove compartment for their parking permit – they can simply unhook the hanger, scan it, and hook it back onto the mirror.
Ferry boarding cards
Car ferries can hold more than a thousand cars – and loading them in and out can be a small nightmare. What’s more, any disruption can cause chaos to your working schedule
But once again, hangers come to the rescue! By giving out printed boarding card hangers to each driver, both passengers and staff can quickly identify which lane each vehicle needs to be in and which order to load them onto the ferry.
And just like the ‘thank you’ hangers we mentioned earlier, your boarding cards will serve as a reminder of your brand and service until the customer removes them – ideal for driving more bookings from repeat customers.
