Direct marketing offers tremendous potential to remodeling companies looking to grow their business and find new customers.
Why? Because remodeling companies serve customers in their local area, and direct mail is the best way to reach homeowners near you.
Today, we explore how savvy remodeling teams can use postcards and other affordable direct mailings to get in front of high-value customers.
How to Advertise Your Remodeling Business with Direct Mail
Direct mail is any form of physical mailing that is sent out and arrives in your mailbox. It doesn’t include things like email newsletters or social media posts – it refers to real remodeling postcards, letters, and fliers you can hold in your hands. Here’s our guide to making the most of direct marketing for remodeling companies.
Create a Marketing Plan for Your Remodeling Company
No matter how small, every business should have a marketing plan to support the sales process. It’s essential that direct mail is included in marketing plans for remodeling companies, to target local customers.
Build out a calendar that marks key dates and seasons for your business, and think about how you can market around these events and occurrences. Plan ahead to make the most of your busiest season, and have marketing plans in place to boost sales during periods that are typically quieter.
Test Multiple Direct Mail Campaigns
Think about which of the following best fits your business goals, and plan out how often you’d like to send your campaigns. Here are a few ideas to consider:
- Seasonal postcard mailings: Every other month or every season, remind your customers that you’re there to support any remodeling plans they have in mind. Use seasonal imagery to help your recipients get excited about remodeling projects.
- Sent postcards on various services: Choose a bathroom remodeling postcard mailer one month, and a kitchen remodeling flyer the next.
- New mover mailings: When new residents move into your target neighborhoods, you’ll want to be the first to get in front of them. This is particularly important for the remodeling industry, as new homeowners are often planning to make updates to their property. High-value business relationships are often forged during the first few months of homeownership and last for years. Also, consider a monthly plan to target new movers.
- Flyers about your services: Flyers are quick and easy marketing pieces to remind customers of your presence in the neighborhood.
- EDDM® postcards: Target potential customers nearby with Every Door Direct Mail®.
