Mail before the season, not during it
Ants, mosquitoes, wasps and rodents each have a time of year. When the problem appears, homeowners call the company whose number is already on the fridge.
A postcard that lands just before each season puts that number there. Plan the drops ahead of time and call 512-573-1977 with your dates so Corey can tell you when to order.
Covering a wide service area
Pest control routes usually span many neighborhoods, so volume matters. With EDDM, the carrier puts a piece in every mailbox along the routes you pick, no list required.
A 6″ × 11″ postcard costs $399 for 2,500 and $799 for 10,000. For the widest reach at the lowest cost, 10,000 4.25″ × 11″ cards cost $599.
What the card should say
Lead with the pest people are worried about this month and one offer, such as a first treatment at a set price when they sign up for a recurring plan. A clear photo of the problem pest helps people recognize it.
Keep the phone number large. Pest calls are often urgent, so many people will call straight from the card.
Door hangers after every treatment
Neighbors often share the same pest problem. After a treatment, a technician can leave hangers on the nearby houses saying the home next door was just treated, with an offer.
2,500 4.25″ × 11″ hangers cost $409, and 10,000 cost $849. Hangers go on doors only, since federal law keeps mailboxes for mail with postage.
Service paperwork at every stop
Technicians need a record of what was treated and a copy for the customer. Carbonless NCR forms give both with one signature, and 500 two-part 8.5″ × 11″ sets cost $199.
The same forms work for service agreements, so recurring customers have their plan in writing.
Signs and cards
A small yard sign at a treated property shows neighbors that a local company is at work, as long as the customer agrees. Two-sided 24″ × 18″ signs with stakes cost $150 for 10.
Leave a business card with every invoice, at $69 for 2,500. For more ideas, read our door hangers or postcards guide.
Restaurants, offices and other commercial accounts
Businesses need regular pest service and a written record of each visit. A folded EDDM mailer explaining your commercial plans, sent to the business routes in your area, reaches the people who make that decision.
Carbonless service reports give the business a signed copy for its files after every visit.
Turning one call into a recurring plan
A one-time treatment solves this month's problem, but a quarterly plan keeps the customer for years. Make the offer on every postcard reward signing up for the plan rather than a single visit.
Print the plan details on a card that technicians leave behind. Compare every postcard size on EDDM Specials before you plan the next season.
Showing you are local
Homeowners are wary of letting an unknown company spray around their home. Mention the towns you serve, show your trucks and technicians in a real photo and keep your branding the same on every piece.
When the same logo appears on the truck in the driveway, the hanger on the door and the postcard in the mail, people start to recognize you.
A simple yearly print schedule
Plan the year once. A postcard before spring, a second one before late summer, door hangers after every treatment and cards with every invoice cover the main moments without much effort.
Ordering the larger runs once a season keeps the cost per piece low. 10,000 4.25″ × 11″ postcards cost $599, and 10,000 door hangers cost $849.
Put the dates on a calendar so each order goes in on time.
