Frequently Asked Questions
- When should I mail to reach homeowners for spring?
- The ideal time is late February through early March, before homeowners have made their decisions. Mailing now ensures you're top-of-mind when they're ready to hire. We recommend a series of 2-3 mailings spaced 2-3 weeks apart for maximum impact.
- What's the difference between EDDM and targeted lists?
- EDDM (Every Door Direct Mail) reaches every address on specific mail carrier routes—perfect for saturating neighborhoods. Targeted lists let you filter by demographics like income and home value, ideal for premium services. Many landscapers use EDDM for broad reach and targeted lists for high-end customers.
- How much does a spring direct mail campaign cost?
- EDDM postcards start at around $0.35-0.50 per piece including printing and postage. For 5,000 homes, expect to invest $1,750-2,500. Targeted mail with personalization runs $0.50-0.75 per piece. Most landscapers see 1-3% response rates, meaning 50-150 leads from 5,000 pieces.
- Can you help with design if I don't have artwork?
- Absolutely! We have experience creating effective postcards for landscaping companies. We'll work with you to highlight your spring services, create compelling offers, and include strong calls-to-action. We can also use stock photos or incorporate your own project photos.
- How quickly can you get my mail out?
- Once your design is approved and we have your mailing list or EDDM routes selected, we can typically print and mail within 5-7 business days. For rush spring campaigns, we can often expedite to 3-4 days. Contact us today to discuss your timeline.
- What kind of response rate should I expect?
- Landscaping direct mail typically sees 1-3% response rates, depending on your offer, targeting, and timing. A well-designed spring campaign to the right audience can generate 20-60 leads per 2,000 pieces mailed. The key is a compelling offer (free estimates, spring discounts) and clear contact information.
- Do you serve landscaping companies outside of Delmarva?
- Yes! While we're based in Salisbury, MD, we serve landscaping and lawn care companies throughout the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond. We can mail to any ZIP codes you serve, whether that's local neighborhoods or multiple states.
