Functional and Decorative Door Bags

Decorative bags that hang on the door can be useful household items - they can double as both an decor item and an easy way to store and grab essentials that needed totes from room to room or need to be within easy reach. Small tote bags or other bags with easy openings can be used as door bags, or inverted cone-shaped bags are sometimes designed especially for this use. Doorknob totes and bags may also be used by scrapbookers and crafters - small storage bags may be equipped with handles that can easily be hung in the back of a doorknob.

These types of bags are very useful.

When to Use Doorknob Bags

Professionals understand the value of doorknob bags. When it comes to marketing and promotion, this tool can make a remarkable difference in a business campaign!

You've been through it a million times. You're in the middle of something important – cooking a dish, talking on the phone, finishing up a report – when the doorbell rings. Not only is the timing inappropriate, but the visitor is unrecognizable! Your only thought is to ignore it and press on with the task at hand. A few hours later, you take a peek outside to find that the visitor has left a bag hanging on your doorknob.

Doorknob literature isn't uncommon. In fact, some neighborhood canvassers prefer to leave an informative package of information hanging from the doorknob instead of directly speaking to a person. These doorknob bags are used for a wide variety of purposes.

  • They protect literature from rain, sleet and snow.
  • They keep literature high above the ground, eliminating the likelihood of an animal or insect getting to it before you do.
  • They allow the message on the literature to receive high visibility (and therefore act as an outstanding marketing tool).
  • They provide ample room for plenty of literature.
  • They double as convenient, hands-free giveaway bags at major events, such as trade shows and conventions.
  • They hold everything, from newspapers and magazines to brochures and coupons, with ease.

Who Uses Them

As mentioned, professionals rely heavily on doorknob bags when they wish to reach a large group of people in a short period of time. Individuals who work for political candidates, for example, may be assigned to canvas neighborhoods in specific districts and spread the word via literature. The campaign literature packages are hung on doorknobs and occasionally distributed on the street or at events. In fact, these bags are some of the most popular tools utilized in grassroots political campaign efforts today.

Students who are holding raffles or fundraisers also rely on these bags to help get the word out efficiently and to a select group of people. School bands and youth groups also make strong use of doorknob literature. A youth group, for example, may fill a bag with Scripture verses, some sort of treat (such as candy or comic books) and inspirational or encouraging words from the group's leader. This is just one alternate use for the bag.

Hotels are also strong proponents of the bag. They're used most often for newspaper delivery to each room, though it's likely that many hotels will use much more luxurious versions of the bag. For instance, some are thick and printed with the hotel's name or are made of cloth.

The Finer Details

A bag made to hang on the doorknob is quite simple in design. It is constructed of poly and features a "hang hole" that usually measures one and a half to two inches, which is suitable for most standard doorknobs. The hole usually sits an inch or two below the top of the bag, and the bag's opening is an inch or two below the hole.

They are typically translucent to allow the messenger's literature to be clearly and immediately visible, and are available in a variety of sizes. A typical small size measures five by five inches, while a larger size might run ten by fifteen inches.

Some manufacturers offer bags in a variety of colors, and also offer printing services. This is ideal for businesses promoting their name to the general community. Of course, the color and printing services also add to the general cost of using this otherwise inexpensive tool to get the word out. For many, the low cost makes it a better deal than a mass mailing campaign.

Where to Purchase

The bags are available to purchase online at a variety of specialty retailers, including:
