Start the ConversationCommon questions
How does website visitor retargeting work for direct mail?
When visitors browse your website, we can match approximately 45-50% of them to postal addresses using privacy-compliant data matching. Within 2-3 days of their visit, they receive a personalized postcard in their mailbox, while your brand is still fresh in their mind.
What's the typical match rate for website visitors?
Approximately 45-50% of your website visitors can be matched to postal addresses. This varies by industry and audience, but it means roughly half of your site traffic becomes a targetable direct mail audience.
How quickly do postcards arrive after a website visit?
Postcards typically mail within 2-3 days of a website visit and arrive in mailboxes shortly after. This speed is critical, you're reaching prospects while their interest is still high, not weeks later like traditional direct mail.
What's the minimum order for direct mail retargeting?
There are no minimums. You can start with as few as 100 postcards per month and scale up as results prove out. This is fundamentally different from traditional direct mail which often requires 2,500+ piece commitments.
What industries work best for direct mail retargeting?
Direct mail retargeting works well for home services, energy, finance, healthcare, B2B companies, and e-commerce brands. Any business with website traffic and sufficient margins is a good candidate.
Do you handle postcard design and creative?
Yes, full postcard design is included. We create high-converting postcards with clear calls-to-action, QR codes for easy mobile response, and tracking URLs to measure performance.
How do I track direct mail results?
You get access to a dashboard showing daily mailings, match rates, and campaign performance. We also integrate phone call tracking, form submission tracking, and match-back analysis to measure conversions directly attributable to your mail campaigns. Match-back compares your customer transaction file against mailer addresses to identify which mailings drove actual sales.
What's included in the service?
All-inclusive service covers setup, data sourcing, printing, First Class postage, tracking, and analytics dashboard access. Creative services (postcard design and copywriting) are also available. Contact us for program-specific pricing and volume-based rates.
What are the minimums for different programs?
Website Retargeting: No minimums, mail as few or as many as your traffic generates.
Lifestage Triggers: 100 cards minimum per month.
Jobsite Radius: 100 cards minimum per drop (can split across multiple addresses).
Staggered Drops: 1,000 cards total over up to 360 days.
Retention Programs: 25 cards minimum per drop, 100 per month total.
How does Jobsite Radius Marketing work?
When you complete a job or secure a listing, provide us the address. We automatically mail postcards to nearby homes showcasing your work in their neighborhood. You control the radius size and can apply demographic filters (homeowners vs. renters, exclude recent movers, etc.). It's more effective than yard signs, reaching neighbors directly in their mailbox with a professional, branded message.
What are Lifestage Trigger Programs?
These programs target consumers at major life milestones when buying behavior peaks: new movers, new homebuyers, newlyweds, and new families. Fresh data is delivered weekly, and postcards mail automatically to people entering these life stages in your target area. These audiences have immediate needs and high purchase intent.
Can I integrate automated direct mail with my CRM?
Yes. We can integrate with your CRM, email platform, or customer database to trigger mailings based on custom events, birthdays, anniversaries, purchase dates, renewal dates, or inactivity periods. We accept daily or weekly data feeds to power retention, reactivation, and post-purchase campaigns.
How is this different from traditional direct mail?
Traditional direct mail requires large bulk orders (often 2,500+ pieces), long lead times, and static mailing lists. Automated Direct Mail triggers daily based on real-time data (website visits, CRM updates, life events) with no minimums on many programs. You get digital-level speed and precision with direct mail's high response rates.
