The Challenge

A pest management company in Concord, CA needed to boost awareness for mole and gopher removal services. Their existing customer base was steady, but growth had stalled due to lack of outreach beyond existing referrals. They decided to invest in direct mail marketing in Concord, CA to target neighborhoods with large lawns and gardens.

The Solution

A Concord push rolled out a high-visibility postcard—“Moles & Gophers Destroy Lawns – We Stop Them Fast!” headline, real technician-at-work photo, 15% off intro, and a money-back guarantee—aimed squarely at large-lawn homeowners.

 

A high-visibility postcard campaign was developed:

  • Problem-Solution Headline: “Moles & Gophers Destroy Lawns – We Stop Them Fast!” This created immediate relevance for homeowners facing visible lawn damage.
  • Service Demonstration Photo: Technician at work in a real yard. Authentic images built trust and credibility.
  • Limited-Time Offer: 15% off first service appointment. Added urgency for homeowners to act quickly.
  • Guarantee Badge: “Satisfaction Guaranteed or Your Money Back.” This risk-free promise reduced hesitation to try the service.
  • Targeted Mail List: 5,000 high-value homes with large outdoor spaces. Focused targeting maximized response rates.
  • Response Tracking: Unique promo code for measuring ROI. This allowed the team to calculate campaign performance precisely.

A 5,000-home big-yard list plus a unique promo code kept responses measurable and spend focused where lawn damage hurts most.
