Common questions

Cincinnati business owners ask

When should plumbers mail?

Plumbing has the most consistent year-round demand of any home-services trade — emergencies happen all 12 months. That said, there are two micro-peaks: late November through January (holiday entertaining + frozen pipe season) and June through August (water heater failures spike when groundwater cools below the thermostat setpoint). A 12-month commit smooths the seasonality and gets you in front of homeowners when they're not yet in crisis mode.

I run a small two-truck operation. Can I keep up if 100 calls hit at once?

Realistically: a typical 10,000-piece EDDM drop produces 50–200 calls spread over 4–8 weeks, not 100 in one day. Plumbing emergency calls cluster during weather events (cold snaps, summer storms) but routine inquiries trickle. Most two-truck shops handle a TNP drop without staffing changes. If you're really worried, we recommend starting with a 5,000-piece campaign or a single zip rather than going wide.

What's the typical response rate?

Plumbing EDDM response rates run 0.5%–2%. The high end is for clear emergency-service ads ("24/7 drain cleaning, $99 same-day"); the low end is for general "your full-service plumber" ads. The card-on-fridge effect means scans and calls keep coming for 8+ weeks after the drop.

Should I include my master plumber license number on the card?

Yes — Ohio requires displayed license numbers on plumbing advertising. We include it automatically once you provide it during onboarding. Not optional, not negotiable.

How does pricing work?

Medium slot (3"×4") runs $600–$750/month. Large/Double runs $1,200–$1,500/month. Featured cover (hero spot, both sides) runs $2,200/month. 3, 6, and 12 month commits earn 10/15/20% discounts. Annual prepay adds 5% on top.

Will my ad share a card with a water restoration or roto-rooter franchise?

Independent plumbers — yes. National franchise plumbing brands (Roto-Rooter, Mr. Rooter, etc.) — we do not run them. The Neighborhood Pros only takes locally-owned, independent businesses. That's the brand promise on the cover of every card we mail.
