Paint Pros: Time to Brush Up Your Marketing Game

Let’s face it — painting is one of the fastest ways to transform a home, but getting new clients isn’t always as quick. There’s a good chance your best prospects are sipping coffee right now, thinking:

“We should finally paint this place.”

What if your brand was sitting on their kitchen table?

That’s what EDDM Postcards do: they put your painting services directly into the hands of high-intent homeowners in the neighborhoods you actually want to work in.

No paid ads. No algorithms. Just fresh leads, straight from the mailbox.

Why Every Painter Needs EDDM in Their Toolkit

You’re Selling Visual Impact — So Show It Off

A perfect edge. That crisp contrast between wall and trim. An accent wall that turns a plain room into a showpiece. Your work is visual — and postcards are the perfect way to showcase transformations.

You Don’t Need a Mailing List

With EDDM (Every Door Direct Mail), you don’t need emails, lead lists, or cold-calling. Just choose your target neighborhoods, and USPS delivers your postcard to every home on that route — no postage permit required.

You Work Local — So Market Local

Whether you’re painting interiors, exteriors, or both, most clients want someone nearby. EDDM lets you dominate zip codes before the competition even shows up on a Google search.
