Basically I'm building something where when you finish a job you provide (via text of web) the address plus an optional photo. I then send a custom designed postcard with the project photo and the street name ("We just helped your neighbor on Maple Ave replace their roof.") and mail it to the houses on the same street. Similar idea to door hangers but without having to go door to door.

Most of my clients are outdoor contractors (landscapers, lawn care guys, etc) and they aren't the best at sales (they literally hate sales). But roofing seems like a sales first type service. So I'm not sure how well this would work for a roofer (although I'm guessing not all are hardcore door knockers). But I do know that a lot of homeowners look to their neighbors and who they use when determining who to hire.

I'm looking for any feedback - the concept, what's confusing, what would stop you from trying it or what you wish existed instead.

You can see it at https://mailtheblock.com. Thanks.

Have a handful of contractors using it and want honest feedback from operators before pushing on growth.

Outdoor contractor finishes a job, texts the address to us. We send a custom designed postcard with the project photo and the street name ("We just helped your neighbor on Maple Ave upgrade their patio.") and mail it to the houses on the same block. Similar idea to door hangers but without having to go door to door.

Built for any outdoor contractor where the next job could come from a neighbor and you don't like actually selling.

Open to any feedback - the concept, what's confusing, what would stop you from trying it or what you wish existed instead.

It's called Mail the Block if you want to look it up.

How well does automatically submitting contact forms on a website work compared to cold email using something like Instantly? I use cold email but haven't tried contact form submissions. Before I give it a try I'm just curious what others have found. I'm not sure how technically doable automating contact form submissions would be but I see it being done a lot (although I'm not sure if it's just manual work by a VA versus automation).

I'm curious if anyone here has tested out how well automatically submitting contact forms on a website work compared to cold email using Instantly?
