Frequently Asked Questions About Targeted Mail Lists
How do your targeted lists compare to EDDM?
EDDM delivers to every home on a carrier route (no filtering). Targeted lists use the same USPS data but filter down to specific demographics — so you pay more per home ($0.65 vs $1.99 for 9×12 EDDM), but you only mail to addresses that match your criteria. EDDM is better for broad awareness, targeted lists are better for precision.
How accurate are your targeted list filters?
We pull data from USPS address records, county property records, and third-party demographic databases. Homeowner status and property values are 95%+ accurate. Home age is based on county records and is 90%+ accurate. New mover data is updated monthly.
Can I combine multiple filters?
Yes. For example, you can filter for homeowners only + property value $400K+ + home age 20+ years. The more filters you add, the smaller your list gets (and the more targeted your mailing). You'll see your final count and cost before you confirm.
What if my filters return too few homes?
If your filters are too narrow (e.g., filtering to fewer than 100 homes), we'll let you know before we run the mailing. You can either loosen your filters or expand to multiple routes. Most clients aim for 300-600 homes per mailing for optimal cost vs. targeting.
Can I re-use my targeted list for future mailings?
Yes. Once we pull your targeted list, it's yours to keep. You can reorder the exact same list anytime — or tweak your filters and pull a new list. Most clients mail their targeted list 2-3 times over 6 months for maximum impact.
Do targeted lists work for service businesses or just real estate?
Targeted lists work great for any high-ticket local service. Roofers use them to target aging homes. Landscapers use them for premium properties. Solar companies use them for single-family homes. Home security companies use them for new homeowners. If your average job pays $5K+, targeted lists are worth the extra cost.
