Frequently Asked Questions

Is this report really free?+
Yes, 100% free. No credit card required, no hidden upsell. We created this report to help Ontario contractors make smarter marketing decisions. If you find it valuable and want help running a direct mail campaign, we’re here — but there’s zero obligation.
Do I need to be in Ontario?+
The data in this report is Ontario-specific — covering the Niagara Region, Hamilton, Burlington, the GTA, and surrounding areas. The direct mail strategies apply across Canada, but the cost-per-lead benchmarks and saturation maps are based on Ontario campaign data.
What trades does this cover?+
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping, painting, fencing, concrete, cleaning, and general contracting. The report breaks down cost-per-lead and response rates for each trade so you can see exactly how your industry performs.
How is direct mail different from door hangers?+
Direct mail is delivered by Canada Post to every mailbox in a postal walk — it actually lands inside the house. Door hangers get left on knobs, blown away by wind, or tossed by neighbours before the homeowner sees them. The report shows the measurable difference in response rates between the two.
Can I see sample results before downloading?+
The report includes 3 real case studies from Ontario contractors who used direct mail to generate leads. One HVAC company in Niagara Falls generated 12 calls from a single 500-door campaign. The full data and breakdown are inside the report.
