Why postcards work for landscapers
Landscaping is a rare trade where the result is visibly displayed on the front yard. That is a free referral engine — one great lawn on a block generates calls from the houses next door. A category-exclusive postcard mailed to the same route amplifies the effect: the neighbors were already thinking about hiring someone, and the card tells them who.
Seasonality is clean. Spring cleanups start in March, weekly mowing from April through October, fall cleanups from September through November, snow removal through February in cold metros. Drop the card two to three weeks before each season starts. Because exclusivity is locked by zone, you are the only landscaper on paper in that neighborhood — which compounds the referral effect of every yard you already service there.
