Shared Leads
Home services companies live and die by lead generation. Every month, you need a steady flow of inbound calls from homeowners who need your services. Snap pack mailers drive those calls because the sealed format looks official, gets opened, and puts your offer directly in front of homeowners in your service area.
Two campaign types dominate home services direct mail: new mover campaigns and seasonal promotions. New movers are actively looking for local service providers within the first 60 days of moving into a new home. Seasonal campaigns (AC tune-ups in spring, furnace inspections in fall) hit homeowners when the need is top of mind.
The cost per lead from snap pack campaigns is competitive with Google Local Services Ads, Angi, and HomeAdvisor, with one critical difference: you own the lead. No lead sharing, no bidding against competitors, no platform fees. The homeowner called you because they opened your mailer.

New Mover Campaigns
New movers are the highest-value audience in home services direct mail. Within the first 30-60 days of moving into a new home, a homeowner is making decisions about which HVAC company to call, which plumber to use, which pest control service to hire, and which landscaper to trust. They do not have existing relationships. They are searching.
A snap pack mailer arriving during that window has an outsized response rate because it looks like an official document (new address confirmations, utility setup notices, and other official-looking mail are flooding their mailbox) and it offers a service they actively need. A $49 AC tune-up offer or a free plumbing inspection arrives right when they are looking for exactly that.
New mover data is available from USPS National Change of Address (NCOA) databases and private data compilers. We can target new movers by ZIP code, move date, home type (single family, condo, townhome), and estimated home value. Campaigns can run monthly to catch new movers as they appear in the data.
Seasonal Promotions
Every home service has a season. HVAC companies run AC tune-up campaigns in March through May and furnace inspection campaigns in September through November. Plumbers promote winterization in the fall. Roofers push inspections after storm season. Landscapers promote spring cleanup and fall leaf removal. Pest control ramps up in spring and summer.
Snap packs work for seasonal campaigns because the sealed format creates urgency around a time-sensitive offer. "Schedule your AC tune-up before summer, $49 this month only" in a sealed mailer that looks like a service notice gets opened and acted on. The same offer in a postcard is easier to ignore.
The key to seasonal campaign performance is timing. Mail needs to arrive 2-3 weeks before the season peaks. An AC tune-up offer that arrives in June is too late. Homeowners have already called someone or given up. An offer that arrives in late March or early April catches them while they are planning ahead.

Get a QuoteOwning Your Leads
Lead generation platforms like Google Local Services, Angi, HomeAdvisor, and Thumbtack charge per lead and share those leads with multiple contractors. You are competing on price and response time, not on the quality of your service or the strength of your offer.
Direct mail leads are yours. When a homeowner opens your snap pack mailer and calls the phone number on the piece, that call goes to you and only you. There is no bidding, no lead sharing, no per-lead fee after the campaign cost. You paid for the mailing, and every response that comes back is exclusively yours.
For home services companies spending $2,000-5,000 per month on Google or lead platforms, reallocating a portion of that budget to a monthly snap pack campaign typically improves overall cost per acquisition because the leads are exclusive and the homeowners are responding to your specific offer, not choosing from a list of competitors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do new mover campaigns work?
We target homeowners who have moved into a new address within the last 30-60 days using NCOA data, filtered by your service area ZIP codes. Campaigns can run monthly to catch new movers as they appear.
What is the cost per lead for home services?
Typically $10-20 per lead at a 4% response rate, with all-in campaign costs of $0.40-0.80 per piece. This is competitive with Google and lead platforms, and the leads are exclusively yours.
How many pieces should I start with?
We recommend a test of 10,000-25,000 pieces targeting your best ZIP codes. Once you see response data, scale to your full service area.
Can I track which campaigns drive calls?
Yes. We assign a unique phone number to each campaign (or each test cell) so you can attribute every call to the specific mailing that generated it.
