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
