Lawn Care Postcard Marketing Strategies

Radius Postcard Mailings For Lawn Care

This is where you mail to all, or some, of the homes in a radius around your current job sites. Birds of a feather flock together. If you are in the neighborhood already, they have seen your truck or yard sign. Capitalize on this and send a postcard to close the deal. Oh yeah, be sure your clients lawn looks great before you send it or this approach may backfire!

Targeted Consumer Mailings

Here you can leverage all the data that is available in order to mail only the best and most ideal "customers-to-be". Filter by age, income, home owners, home sqft, net worth, age of home, disposable income, credit, hobbies, interests, and much more.

New Mover Postcard Mailings 

You work so hard for every customer. What do you do when they move away? Plug holes in your tank with new mover postcards. Welcome new neighbors with a free bonus service or other offer and win a customer for life!

Every Door Direct Mailers (EDDM)

Saturate carrier routes you want to focus on the most and spend less on postage than other mail types. EDDM mailers are great when your lawn care services are just breaking into a new neighborhood and need to get the word out. However, call us to run an analysis to see how many renters there are in the area. It may be better to go the more targeted route and avoid a lot of advertising waste.

Loyalty Mailings (Database)

Mail your growing list of lawn care customers on a regular basis and keep them coming back again and again. Insulate them from the competition! Upsell them on other services you offer and get more from each relationship. Do surveys to find opportunities for needs you may not be aware of. Pest control, light pruning, spreading mulch, light landscaping, irrigation, leaf clean up, mosquito services, pressure washing, and other such services that might be easy add-ons while your team is already on the property.

Lawn Care Postcard Marketing Tips

Use A Strong Postcard Headline

Your headline is your opportunity to grab the reader and gain more valuable time with them!  A good headline will get the reader’s attention immediately, get them to read more, and create value in the mind of the consumer. It may start to answer the question of "What problem of mine are you solving?" Try asking a question in the headline or making a bold statement.

Make A Strong Offer 

The purpose of the direct mail campaign is to sell, to persuade them to action. Get to the point and tell them what to do and why they should do it. Offer them an incentive to get over any hesitations. Make it too good to pass up or don't waste your time.

Keep Lawn Care Postcard Ad Copy Simple

Your copy should be easy to read, hook the customer with valuable information, and educate the customer about your product or service. Your copy must tell your customer what action you want them to take - Call Now!.  Testimonials sell; use them in your lawn care ad! Talk about their neighbors!

Use A Great Lawn Picture

Postcard marketing relies upon a strong visual punch. Try a before and after or just showcase one or more of your best lawns. Make them want it! No cheap photos here. Pay a professional or use a stock photo if you must. 

Mail Frequently To Your Best Prospects

If you’re only going to mail once, don’t mail at all. The key to successful postcard marketing is frequency. Each time they see it you are planting a seed in their mind. Eventually they will get tired of running to the local hardware store to buy their own chemicals, get tired of loosing the fight to the weeds every year, and finally submit and call you to come and rescue them. Don't just mail them in the prime season. Plant seeds year round.

Use A Targeted Postcard Mailing List

There are literally thousands of mailing list options. Find out as much as you possibly can about your ideal customer, make that your mailing list blueprint, and then go get more of them! Some things to consider:

• Age • Income • Marriat status • Kids • Net worth • Home value • Home equity • Sqft of home • Length of residence • Hobbies • Buying behavior • PC owner • Business owner • Religion • Veteran • Occupation • Travel activity

Leverage Your Targeted Mailing List To Personalize Postcards

Buying a targeted list will allow you to tailor your lawn care postcards exactly to that person, increasing your response rates dramatically. Variable data personalization can get more results than mass efforts response rates increase 34% on average. Not only text but graphics can be personalized based on the mailing list!

Go Big With Your Lawn Care Postcards

Don’t jump over dollars to save pennies. 3x5, 4x6 and 5x7 postcards are for loyalty mailings only NOT new customer acquisition. You need room to showcase your picture, include a testimonial or three, make a value proposition, highlight their problem, show them how you solve it, make a strong offer they cant refuse and include all your contact information. You need room to do all this!! Spend some money and show them you are a professional. Go 5.5x8.5 or 6x11.  For more on this check out our article on What Size Postcard Is Most Effective?
