Why San Antonio suits door hangers and home-service mail
San Antonio is a city of single-family homes and homeowners, and that makes printed marketing for home services unusually effective here. Door hangers, EDDM postcards and job-site yard signs reach the people who decide on repairs, lawn care and pest control.
We print the full range for San Antonio businesses: door hangers, postcards, business cards, menus and brochures, table tents, vinyl banners, yard signs, NCR forms and catalogs. Every order ships UPS Ground from our Arlington, Texas print hub.
Home ownership and housing in San Antonio
According to the Census Bureau's 2020-2024 American Community Survey, San Antonio has 554,581 households and 1,479,835 residents. Of the occupied homes, 289,380 are owner-occupied, a rate of 52.2%.
That is well above the other large Texas cities on this site: Austin is at 43.4%, Dallas at 42.4% and Houston at 42.1%. Homeowners are the people who hire roofers, plumbers, HVAC technicians, lawn crews and pest control, so a larger share of San Antonio households is in the market for home services.
The housing mix points the same way. Of 612,901 housing units, 359,573 are single-family detached homes, or 58.7%. The median home was built in 1985, old enough for regular roof, water heater and air-conditioning work.
Door hangers on San Antonio streets
A street of single-family homes is where door hangers work best: a technician or canvasser can cover a block quickly, there is no postage, and the piece arrives while your truck is in view. With most housing units here being detached homes, more of the city is door hanger territory than in the other big Texas cities.
The 4.25″ × 11″ door hanger is our most popular size for home services: 2,500 cost $409 and 5,000 cost $659. For smaller budgets, the 3.5″ × 8.5″ size starts at $327.20 for 2,500. Shipping 2,500 4.25″ × 11″ door hangers to ZIP 78205 costs $28.16.

Menus and table tents for San Antonio restaurants
Bexar County's 1,472 full-service and 1,673 limited-service restaurants compete for the same households, and the printed take-out menu is still one of the cheapest ways to win the next order. An 11″ × 17″ menu folds to fit a take-out bag and holds a full menu, 2,500 for $709.
Inside the restaurant, a 4″ × 6″ table tent on every table sells the dessert, the drink special or catering, 2,500 for $695. To reach homes in the delivery area, the Gold EDDM package mails an 8.5″ × 11″ bifold menu to every address on the routes you choose, 10,000 for $679.
Banners and yard signs for openings and events
A new location, a grand opening or a festival booth needs signs that read from the street. Our vinyl banners cost $5 per square foot with a second banner free, so two 3′ × 6′ banners cost $90.
Yard signs mark job sites, open houses and events. Our 24″ × 18″ signs print on both sides of 4mm Coroplast with H-wire stakes included, 10 for $150. See yard signs and vinyl banners for every size.
