Postcard Marketing for Home Services Contractors

Home services run on seasons and emergencies. Customers don't think about their HVAC until July, their pipes until February, or pests until they see one in the kitchen. The contractor who lands in the mailbox before the emergency wins the job. Every past customer is a warm lead waiting for a reason to call — and a postcard plus a timed follow-up call beats every Yelp ad they'll see that month.
