Competing against larger brands in Germantown required a tangible, local touch. To reach likely movers directly, the team executed direct mail marketing in Germantown, TN, engineered as direct mail marketing for real estate to trigger valuations and listing consults in owner-occupied pockets. If nearby homeowners are searching mail center near me, this neighborhood-first plan turns that intent into valuation scans and listing consults.
The Solution
A proof-led, hyper-local postcard series—“Your Germantown Specialists” headline, sold-above-ask tiles, a “Get Your Home’s Value in 60 Seconds” CTA, and direct access via senior-agent line + QR to calendar—made it effortless for homeowners to respond.

- Reminder Drop: A lighter, stats-refresh card two weeks later. Gentle repetition improved overall response.
