Dallas in numbers
Dallas has 1,307,930 residents in 533,915 households, in the Census Bureau's 2020-2024 survey estimates. 42.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied.
The housing stock is older than in most fast-growing Texas cities, with a median build year of 1981. Older homes need roofs, plumbing and heating work more often, which keeps home service companies busy.
Printed close by, shipped for less
Dallas orders print at our Arlington, Texas hub, a short drive away, and ship by UPS Ground. A shorter trip means shipping usually costs less than to cities farther from the hub, and the table at the top of this page shows the live figure for ZIP 75201.
The 5,000 postcards themselves cost $639 to print. Use the builder on any product page for the delivered total to your own ZIP.
Who mails in Dallas
Dallas County had 2,092 full-service and 2,514 limited-service restaurants in 2023, per the Census Bureau's County Business Patterns. It also had 1,476 dental offices and 1,297 real estate offices.
All of them compete for the same households, and Every Door Direct Mail is a direct way to reach the routes around a location. The Gold EDDM package folds a letter-size sheet into four panels, enough for a menu or a practice introduction, at $349 for 2,500.
Home services in an older city
Dallas County had 243 roofing contractors and 113 pest control services in 2023. In a city where the median home dates from 1981, those trades mail to the neighborhoods with the oldest housing.
The USPS EDDM tool lets you browse routes before you choose them. Our guide to planning a first EDDM mailing walks through it step by step.
Cards for a big market
In a market this size, a business card left at every visit keeps your name in hand. Thick 16pt cards cost $69 for 2,500.
County Business Patterns counts only businesses with paid employees, so the real competition is larger than these figures. Call 512-573-1977 and Corey will help you choose routes in your part of Dallas.
Choosing Dallas routes
Dallas mixes dense apartment districts with long streets of older single-family homes. Look at each carrier route on the USPS EDDM map before you choose, since the right mix depends on whether you sell to renters or homeowners.
Start near your location, then widen the area once you know which routes respond.
A first Dallas mailing, priced
2,500 6.5″ × 9″ EDDM postcards cost $359 to print, and 10,000 cost $779. For a menu or a practice introduction, the Gold folded package costs $349 for 2,500.
Postage is paid to USPS when you drop the bundles off. The EDDM cost calculator adds printing, delivery and postage for any number of Dallas households.
Short trips for tight deadlines
Because the Arlington hub is so close, Dallas orders do not travel far once they are printed. That helps when a mailing has to land before a specific date.
Call 512-573-1977 with your deadline and Corey will tell you when to order to be safe.
Industry guides for Dallas businesses
Restaurants, dentists, real estate agents and home service trades in Dallas each use print a little differently. Our printing by industry pages show the pieces, the prices and a first campaign for each.
The common thread is to reach the homes near your business, mail on a steady schedule and measure what comes back. Call 512-573-1977 if you want help deciding where to start.
