Michigan solo postcard + co-op mailer campaigns

Direct Mail & EDDM Postcard Marketing for Michigan Home-Service Companies

Put your company directly in front of Michigan homeowners with a dedicated postcard in the size that fits your offer—or join an available category-exclusive 9 x 12 co-op mailer.

THE TERRITORY FIRST PROMISE

YOU BUILT THE BUSINESS.
WE’LL HELP YOUR MARKET NOTICE IT.

Territory First coordinates the market, offer, creative, print and mailing so a contractor gets a complete direct-mail campaign—not just a piece of artwork.

One advertiser or shared campaign

YOUR OFFER.
YOUR FORMAT.

Choose a dedicated postcard featuring only your company, or join a category-exclusive co-op mailer that shares production and postage across complementary home-service businesses.

01 · SOLO POSTCARD

YOUR BUSINESS OWNS THE ENTIRE CARD.

Ideal when you want maximum creative control, one focused offer and no other advertisers on the piece. We coordinate design, printing, route targeting and mailing.

02 · CO-OP MAILER

ONE BUSINESS PER SERVICE CATEGORY.

Our 9 × 12 neighborhood mailer gives complementary local businesses their own placement while protecting category exclusivity within the campaign.

Built for local growth

WHY THIS
WORKS.

Every campaign should make the business easier to notice, easier to understand and easier to contact.

01

Visible immediately

The offer, company name and contact information are presented directly on the mailer rather than hidden inside an envelope.

02

Solo or category exclusive

Own an entire postcard with no other advertisers, or reserve your service category inside a shared neighborhood mailer.

03

Professionally designed

We shape the hierarchy, offer and visual presentation, then provide a proof for your approval.

04

Local concentration

Each campaign focuses on a defined neighborhood territory instead of scattering impressions across a broad market.

05

Multiple postcard sizes

Choose from compact oversized postcards, full-page formats and jumbo EDDM flats based on the offer, content and campaign objective.

06

Complete campaign coordination

Territory First handles design, print preparation, route planning and mailing for both solo postcards and co-op campaigns.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

THE DETAILS,
MADE CLEAR.

What does category exclusive mean?

Only one advertiser from each primary business category is featured in the applicable Territory First mailing campaign. It does not prevent competitors from advertising elsewhere.

What postcard sizes are available?

Our most common EDDM-compatible options are 6.5 x 8, 6.5 x 9, 8.5 x 11, 6.5 x 12 and 9 x 12 inches. Custom rectangular flat sizes may also be available when they satisfy USPS requirements and production specifications.

Can my company have its own postcard?

Yes. A solo postcard features only your company and offer. Territory First can coordinate the creative, printing, route selection and mailing in addition to offering category-exclusive placement in the shared 9 x 12 campaign.

Do I need to provide finished artwork?

No. Territory First can create the advertisement, refine the offer and provide a final proof for approval.

How many households will my campaign reach?

Reach is based on the carrier routes selected for your campaign. Before you approve the mailing, Territory First will provide the expected household count, target area and campaign quantity.
