Marketing is one of the most important things you can do to grow your carpet cleaning business. However, most professional carpet cleaning business owners do not market consistently. Sure, a flyer here and abusiness card there can help create a few jobs. However, constant, continual marketing with postcards can produce name recognition and brand awareness. Market research shows that customers need to see your company name multiple times before they are aware of your company. With our postcards and using USPS's EDDM Retail mailing service, you can consistently reach your target market week after week. Even better, with EDDM Retail mailing service, you can choose which local carrier routes to deliver. So, now you can choose by location, house & income values, etc. Get the right people seeing your postcard for even better results!
Design & Print Services – Choose from one of out Postcard Templates. Choose the quantityof postcards that you want to print (the more you buy, the cheaper per card). Personalize the postcard using our Postcard Customization Form. Approve the changes, and sit back and wait for us to finish printing your postcards. When complete, we will ship the postcards to you. Remember, you don't need to mail them all out right away. In fact, we recommend spreading them out over weeks. If you ordered 10,000 of them to keep the printing costs down, your stock of postcards might last you months!
