Marketing With Direct Mailer
Permalink  
 


There are many ways to market a service. Given we service cedar roofs our marketing is directed to educating the home owner to the benefits of having their cedar roof maintained. In the tri-fold itself we explain how we came about adding them to our mailing list along with the educational components and the process and who we are. Our call to action is our videos and photos and customer reviews. Our cost for each mailer is $0.88 each. Our return has averaged about 5% and our closing rate is about 95%. Of course once we clean a roof in any given area we tend to get more requests for quotes from others driving by. For tracking purposes we only count the requests from the tri-fold mailers.

We use Vistaprint to design and build our tri-folds. We hand address them and mail them ourselves. I am not saying these will work for everyone but food for thought for those looking for marketing opinions. The feedback from customers have been there were very educational and once they saw the videos they saw the benefits of a cleaning.

Here is the tri-fold. The resolution was lost in the scan for posting here but will give you the idea. The tri-fold itself is very clean and clear.

 $0.88 per to the mail box. Of course being cedar the cost is nothing given the service price. We average a 3 to 5 % percent quote request when we mail theses. We do small mailings about 200 at a time to cedar home owners in any given location.

We also most always get drive by quote requests while cleaning also. They have been a big benefit to our service.

 Yes. We go into areas that have cedar. Get an idea if the roof would be a candidate for a cleaning take down the address and add them to our cedar database. Mostly when we are out cleaning or in the winter we go stay in a location for a few days and drive through the areas. A lot of time we call realtors and they tell us where there are cedar homes in there area. At present we have about 16,000 addresses for Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota and some in the Kansas City area.

 Yes, good idea, Realtors know!

So do roofers, but some will not tell you cause they want to sell a new cedar roof vs cleaning.

You may want to look into specialized mailing lists Bruce ? It may be possible to get cedar roof homes this way, maybe not ?
