Direct Mail Lead Generation for Fencing Contractors in Ontario

Direct Mail Lead Generation for Fencing Contractors

Average job value: $2,500-$8,000 · Best timing: Spring (peak demand), summer, early fall · Packages from $397

You're a fencing contractor in Ontario. You're great at what you do. But finding new customers? That's a different skill entirely. Google Ads cost a fortune. Facebook leads are unqualified. And word of mouth only carries you so far.

Direct mail changes the equation. Instead of waiting for homeowners to search for you online, you put your name directly on their kitchen table. No algorithm. No bidding war. Just your brand, your phone number, and a compelling reason to call.

Why Direct Mail Works for Fencing Contractors

The average fencing job in Ontario is worth $2,500-$8,000. A 500-door direct mail campaign costs $647. If you close just 1-2 jobs from a single campaign, you're looking at a 5-15x return on investment.

But it's not just about the math. Direct mail works for fencing contractors because:

  • Homeowners keep it. 81% of direct mail gets opened. 39% of recipients keep it for reference. Your flyer stays on the fridge or in the junk drawer — ready when they need you.
  • No competition on the page. With Google Ads, you're one of 4 ads above the fold. With direct mail, you're the ONLY contractor in their mailbox.
  • You control the territory. We serve one contractor per trade per postal walk. Once you lock a neighbourhood, your competitors can't use it.
  • It compounds. The second mailer to the same area always performs better than the first. Familiarity breeds trust.

Real Results

A fencing contractor mailed 250 homes near pools and parks in Thorold. 7 calls, 4 estimates, 3 installations at $4,200 avg = $12,600 from $397.

Fencing Services That Convert Best with Direct Mail

Not all services perform equally in direct mail campaigns. Here are the fencing services that generate the most calls:

  • Wood Fencing
  • Vinyl Fencing
  • Chain Link
  • Aluminum Fencing
  • Fence Repair
  • Gates & Automation

The key is matching your mailer message to seasonal demand. Privacy & safety: 'Need a new fence? Free on-site estimate. We handle permits, installation, and cleanup.'

When to Mail — Seasonal Timing for Fencing Contractors

Best timing: Spring (peak demand), summer, early fall

Target properties with aging or missing fences. Homes with pools require fencing by Ontario building code — target those specifically.

We help you plan your campaign timing so your mailer lands exactly when homeowners are thinking about wood fencing. Too early and they forget. Too late and they've already hired someone else. We've run enough campaigns to know the sweet spot.
