The website details Mail the Block’s suite of direct mail services, with a central focus on its 30-neighbor postcard system, a hyper-local approach in which custom-designed postcards are mailed to 30 homes on the same street where a contractor has completed or is currently performing work. Each postcard references the specific street by name, connecting the mailer directly to a job happening in the recipient’s immediate neighborhood. How the 30-Neighbor Postcard System Works The new website walks contractors through the process step by step. A contractor submits a job site address, and Mail the Block prints and mails postcards to 30 neighboring homes on that street. Contractors can also include a project photo on the postcard, giving recipients a visual reference of actual work performed nearby. Because the postcard names the street and ties it to a real job, homeowners who receive it can see that a neighbor has already hired that contractor, a verifiable fact rather than a generic advertisement. The submission process is built for contractors working in the field. According to the website, a job site address can be submitted in under 60 seconds using a web browser or by text, allowing contractors to initiate a mailing from a truck or job site without interrupting their workday. Generating Leads That Feel Like Referrals By mailing postcards to homes on a street where a contractor is already working, Mail the Block’s approach is designed to build credibility with nearby homeowners. The website positions this hyper-local method as a way to generate leads that carry the weight of a personal referral, since the contractor’s presence on the street serves as built-in social proof. For contractors, this approach can also help secure additional jobs in the same area, reducing travel time between appointments. “Home service contractors already have their strongest marketing asset — the job they just finished on a customer’s street,” a Mail the Block representative said. “Our new website is designed to show contractors exactly how to turn that single job into multiple local leads by reaching the 30 nearest neighbors with a postcard that references the street by name. We wanted to make the entire process simple enough to complete from the cab of a truck.” An Educational Resource for Direct Mail Beyond its core postcard service, the website serves as a resource for contractors who may be unfamiliar with direct mail marketing. The site explains the mechanics of Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) and targeted direct mail campaigns, providing contractors with a starting point for understanding how physical mail fits into their local advertising strategy. Information on additional offerings, including yard signs and business cards, is also available on the site. Serving Contractors Nationwide While Mail the Block operates from Plainville, CT, the website makes clear that its services are available to home service contractors throughout the United States. Contractors in any market can submit job site addresses and have postcards mailed to surrounding homes on that street.
