Block Buster — $697 (Most Popular)
500 doors. The sweet spot. Enough volume to generate 5-10 inbound calls. At a $3,000 average job, one close pays for the campaign 4× over.

Why Direct Mail Beats Shared Lead Platforms
- 81% of Canadians read their mail the same day (Canada Post research) — your postcard gets seen, not buried in an inbox
- 4.9% average response rate for direct mail vs 0.6% for email (DMA) — that's 8× more effective
- Zero competition on the doorstep — HomeStars sends your lead to 3-5 contractors. Our mail sends the homeowner to YOU
- Tangible = trustworthy — a physical postcard with your name, photo, and local phone number builds trust before you even pick up the phone
- Targets by geography — hit the neighbourhoods near your active job sites, not random leads 45 minutes away
How It Works
- Pick your package — choose 250, 500, 1,000, or 2,500 doors based on your growth goals
- We design + target — professional postcard design + postal walk selection based on housing age, income, and proximity to your service area. 24-48 hour proofs.
- Doors get hit, phone rings — Canada Post delivers. Homeowners call your number directly. You close the job, keep 100% of the revenue.

How is this different from HomeStars or TrustedPros?
HomeStars and TrustedPros sell the same lead to 3-5 contractors. You're bidding against your competition before you even talk to the homeowner. With direct mail, the homeowner gets YOUR postcard with YOUR phone number. When they call, they're calling you — not a platform. No bidding wars, no shared leads, no monthly subscription fees.
How do you target the right neighbourhoods?
We use Canada Post's Precision Targeter tool to select postal walks based on housing age (older homes = more renovation demand), household income (ability to pay), dwelling type (single-family vs multi-unit), and proximity to your current job sites. You approve the target areas before we print.
What's the typical response rate?
Direct mail averages 4.9% response rate nationally (DMA data). For contractor services in residential areas, we typically see 1-2% converting to actual phone calls. On a 500-door campaign, that's 5-10 calls. One closed job at $3,000+ pays for the campaign multiple times over.
Is this the same as EDDM in the US?
Similar concept, Canadian execution. In the US, contractors use USPS Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM). In Canada, the equivalent is Canada Post Neighbourhood Mail. We handle all the postal walk selection, design, printing, and delivery — you just answer the phone.
How fast can I get started?
Choose your package today, and you'll have proofs within 24-48 hours. Once approved, postcards are printed and delivered within 5-10 business days depending on Canada Post processing. Most contractors have their first campaign in-market within 2 weeks.
Can I target a specific neighbourhood?
Absolutely. Many contractors target the streets around their current job sites — when neighbours see your truck on the block, then get your postcard the same week, the trust factor skyrockets. We can target by postal code, postal walk, or draw a custom area on the map.
What if I only want to test it first?
That's exactly what the Test Strike ($397, 250 doors) is for. Pick one neighbourhood, run one campaign, see how many calls come in. Most contractors who test end up scaling to Block Buster or Street Sweeper within 30 days.
Do you offer exclusivity?
Yes — the Neighbourhood Takeover package ($2,497, 2,500 doors) includes territorial exclusivity. We will not run a competing contractor in the same trade within your postal code coverage area. First come, first served.
