EFFECTIVE DIRECT MAIL MARKETING FOR PEST CONTROL SERVICE
Pest Control Postcards Success Story
Direct Mail Marketing for Pest Control Service in Lakeside, OH.
The Challenge
A pest control service in Lakeside, OH wanted to promote its rodent and insect prevention services before the fall season. They needed a method to stand out locally and reach homeowners directly, so they chose direct mail marketing in Lakeside, OH.
The Solution
A pre-fall Lakeside postcard put seasonality front and center—“Don’t Let Rodents…” headline, before/after visuals, a $25-off intro, and a pest-free guarantee—to prompt early action.
The postcard campaign featured:
- Seasonal Headline: “Don’t Let Rodents Make Your Home Theirs This Fall.” Created urgency tied to seasonal pest patterns.
- Before-and-After Visuals: Showed a problem scenario vs. a protected home. Helped recipients see the transformation.
- Intro Offer: $25 off first treatment. Provided a clear, low-risk reason to act.
- Guarantee Statement: “Pest-Free Guarantee or We Return Free.” Reduced buyer hesitation.
- Targeted Homes: 5,500 households with past rodent activity reports. Focused outreach increased conversion odds.
- Follow-Up Postcard: Sent after two weeks as a reminder. Boosted campaign response rate.
Targeting 5,500 past-activity homes and following with a two-week reminder kept the message in play and converted intent into booked prevention plans.
