Why postcards work for moving services
Moving is one of the few home-services decisions made weeks before the actual service date. A homeowner signs a closing contract, starts packing, and about two weeks before the move date, begins shopping for movers. A category-exclusive postcard that arrives during that shopping window is in the perfect position to be the answer.
Moving also has a narrow window. Peak season runs May through August, with hot spots on the last weekend of every month and the first weekend after. Drop cards in late April and early May to catch the full peak. Because movers charge high hourly rates and long-distance moves run several thousand dollars, even modest response rates generate meaningful ROI.

Questions before you buy
How much does moving services direct mail cost?
Two ways to buy. Own the whole card, from the smallest size up: $1,399 for about 1,000 homes, $2,299 for about 2,000 homes, or $4,399 for about 5,000 homes. Every size gives you the entire front of the card, edge to edge, with no co-advertisers anywhere on it. Share the card instead and one category-exclusive slot runs $349 to $599, set by the slot position and how many homes the drop reaches. You see the exact price before you pay.
When does the postcard mail?
A solo card mails within 3 weeks of purchase, on the date shown in your order. A shared card mails once 9 of 12 slots on it are taken. Nothing is charged before that, and LocalAd publishes no estimate of how long a zone takes to get there, because no zone has got there yet. You see the live slot count for the zone before you pay.
Will a competitor be on the same card?
No. A solo card is yours alone, with no co-advertisers of any kind. A shared card runs one business per category, so once you take the slot, no other business in your trade is on that card.
Is it available in my ZIP?
Solo runs in any US ZIP with residential mail delivery. Some ZIPs are PO boxes only, or belong to a single business or a military base. Those have no carrier routes, so there is nothing to mail. Type your ZIP at localad.io/solo and a zone opens on the spot, so there is nothing to wait for. Shared cards run in neighborhoods where a zone is filling.
