They can be used for commercial advertising, friendly notifications, or privacy requests. At NextDayFlyers, we specialize in providing durable custom door hanger flyers for businesses of all sizes, but we have found that these tools are only as effective as the message behind them. For instance, let\u2019s say that you want to be left alone in your room. A simple \u201cDo Not Disturb\u201d might get the message across, but if you want your privacy to be absolutely ensured, you\u2019ll have to get a bit more creative.<\/p>\n<p>Perfect for those people who highly value their privacy, or just as a bit of a giggle for the Halloween season, here are few ideas for privacy signs that are guaranteed to give pause to any potential intruders.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-div-76027-123 bde-div\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bde-image2-76027-102 bde-image2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nextdayflyers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/chimp.jpg\" alt=\"Funny door hanger with chimpanzee.\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 296px) 100vw, 296px\"><div class=\"bde-rich-text-76027-124 bde-rich-text breakdance-rich-text-styles\">\n<p><em>Funny door hanger with chimpanzee.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-rich-text-76027-103 bde-rich-text breakdance-rich-text-styles\">\n<p>Contrary to what you may have been told, full-grown chimps are actually not the friendliest of primates. If you are to encounter such an animal in your daily life, your experience may be less like Bedtime for Bonzo and more like Rise of the Planet of the Apes (after the apes escape from their prison and go berzerk). If you plan to step through this door, you better bring plenty of bananas.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-div-76027-125 bde-div\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bde-image2-76027-105 bde-image2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nextdayflyers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/clown-room.jpg\" alt=\"Creepy clown door hanger sign.\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 296px) 100vw, 296px\"><div class=\"bde-rich-text-76027-126 bde-rich-text breakdance-rich-text-styles\">\n<p><em>Creepy clown door hanger sign.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-rich-text-76027-104 bde-rich-text breakdance-rich-text-styles\">\n<p>If given the choice between being locked in a room with an aggressive chimp or a smiling clown, most people would probably choose the aggressive chimp. Whether or not clowns deserve their macabre reputation is up for debate, but it\u2019s hard to deny that there\u2019s something inherently chilling about them. Maybe it\u2019s the painted-on smile, maybe it\u2019s maniacal laugh, or maybe we\u2019ve all just been damaged by films like Stephen King\u2019s It, House of 1,000 Corpses, and Killer Klowns from Outer Space.
