From Worn Out to Wow: EDDM Postcards for Carpet Installers Who Want to Rule Their Zip Code
The Carpet Doesn’t Sell Itself But EDDM Postcards Do
As a carpet installer, you know how to transform a dingy floor into a cozy, quiet, luxurious surface — but what about transforming your lead generation?
Enter: EDDM Postcards — the powerhouse of local marketing for flooring pros.
They’re targeted. They’re affordable. They’re visual. And they get your name in front of homeowners right when they’re thinking about replacing that mysterious stain-covered monstrosity in their hallway.
Why Carpet Installers Should Use EDDM Postcards
You’re a Local Pro — So Own Your Neighborhood
EDDM (Every Door Direct Mail) lets you choose specific neighborhoods and zip codes to target, so you can reach the exact homes you want — no expensive lead lists or guesswork.
Carpet Is Visual and Tangible
Postcards let you show off the warmth and texture of your work — before-and-after photos, plush pile close-ups, cozy living rooms… the kind of flooring that sells itself (once they see it).
Stay Top of Mind for Homeowners
Not everyone needs carpet today — but when they do, your postcard might be magneted to their fridge or sitting in their kitchen mail stack. That’s strategic visibility.
