Hampton Roads Home Services Neighborhood Spotlight TM
Stand Out as the Go-To Pro in Your Neighborhood
Get exclusive placement in our jumbo 9×12 Neighborhood Spotlight postcard — mailed to 5,000 high-income Hampton Roads homes for just $650.
The Neighborhood Spotlight™ is Hampton Roads’ most powerful local mailer for home service professionals. It’s a high-impact, shared postcard mailed to targeted neighborhoods. Oversized at 9×12 inches so it dominates the mailbox.
Each card features a select group of trusted local pros, and you’ll be the only business in your category. No competing landscapers. No competing electricians. Just you owning that space.
Reach the Right Homeowners in the Right Neighborhoods
We carefully select the best local neighborhoods for your ad using USPS Every Door Direct Mail® (EDDM®) services. This ensures your business is promoted directly to homeowners most likely to need your services.
Stand Out with Exclusive Category Placement
We feature only one business per category. That means no competing landscapers, electricians, or plumbers. You get the spotlight in your field, building trust by being part of a friendly, non-competing group of top local pros.
Premium Visibility at a Fraction of the Cost
A solo mailing of a jumbo 9×12 postcard can cost thousands. With the Neighborhood Spotlight, you share the space — and the cost — with other top local pros while still getting a big, bold presence in every mailbox.
