How it works for hvac & plumbing

Three steps. Done for you.

01

Pick your area

Tell us your service area. We map the single-family homes by postal route.

02

We design the postcard

We design a seasonal tune-up or emergency-service postcard with a tracked phone number.

03

Mail + digital go live

Mail drops on Monday. By Friday those same homeowners see your ad on Facebook, Instagram, and across Google.

Homeowners do not Google 'furnace tune-up' until their furnace breaks. By then, whoever is in their head wins the call. Direct mail gets your name into their home before the emergency — so when they pick up the phone, they pick yours.

PostcardHub best practice: one offer per card, one expiry date, one tracked QR code. These are the rules that make direct mail work.

Frequency wins

One drop plants the seed. The programme books the customer.

Only 2% of prospects respond to a first direct mail piece. By the 5th to 12th touch, 80% have converted. This is not a reason to blast more postcards — it is a reason to show up consistently in the same mailboxes, every 30 days, until the timing is right for them. PostcardHub programmes are built around that reality. Monthly drops, same routes, fresh creative every time. The businesses that own their neighbourhood are the ones that never stopped showing up.
