Why Direct Mail Beats HomeStars

  • Target by geography — hit the streets near your active job sites in Barrie
  • No monthly fees — pay per campaign, not per month
How many calls can I expect?

Direct mail averages 1-2% call rate for home services. On 500 doors, expect 5-10 calls. One closed job at your average ticket price pays for the campaign multiple times over.

Can I target specific Barrie neighbourhoods?

Absolutely. We use Canada Post Precision Targeter to select postal walks based on housing age, income, and proximity to active construction. You approve the target areas before we print.

How fast can I get started?

Proofs in 24-48 hours. Postcards in-market within 2 weeks. Most Barrie contractors have their first calls within 3 weeks of ordering.

Is this like EDDM in the US?

Same concept, Canadian execution. We use Canada Post Neighbourhood Mail — the Canadian equivalent. We handle everything: design, postal walk selection, printing, and delivery.
