Direct Mail for Home Service Businesses
Direct mail is unfashionable and still works in home services, largely because of one tactic: mailing the neighbours of a job just completed.
Neighbour mailing is the highest-return format
A card to the surrounding streets after an install, referencing work done on that road, carries local proof no generic mailer has.
EDDM is cheap and blunt
Every Door Direct Mail is inexpensive per household and untargeted. It suits brand recognition in a defined service area, not response.
Measure it or stop doing it
A dedicated tracking number or landing URL per campaign is the difference between a channel and a habit.
How agencies are assessed
Booked jobs produced, systems installed, trade specialism, attribution quality and AI search readiness. Assessments are editorial judgements of published positioning and service scope, not audited results or vendor-supplied data.
