Four things nobody else in direct mail is doing.
Built for the way trades actually win work: visible, local, and fast.
01 — Proximity Mail Marketing
Mail the 100 closest homes — not the whole ZIP code.
Real proximity targeting uses geolocation, not postal boundaries. The house three doors down gets your card. A house five miles away in the same ZIP doesn't. You pay for mail that can actually become your next job. That's proximity mail marketing: targeted by distance from a finished job, not by postal boundary.
02 — Satellite & Street View imagery
See every roof before you spend a stamp.
Quillus drops automatic satellite imagery onto the back of each card — so your neighbor opens the mailbox to a photo of their own roof, and nobody ignores that. You get the same view inside the app: pan satellite and Street View across the nearby homes, pick out the oldest, most weathered roofs, and ★ favorite the ones worth extra marketing effort.
03 — Fast turnaround
Order Monday. In mailboxes by the weekend — while your sign is still in the yard.
Most direct mail takes weeks to print, days more to enter the mail stream, and arrives long after your customer's neighbors have forgotten you were there. Quillus prints and addresses your cards within a couple of business days and hands them to USPS, where first-class carries them the rest of the way — about a week from order to mailbox.

04 — Per-card tracking
Know which neighbor scanned which card.
Every postcard carries its own QR code. When a scan happens, you see the address it was mailed to, the time, and the device. And every scan routes the neighbor to your own website to book — your branding, your landing, your lead. No other direct mail tool gives you per-piece attribution at this level.
What is Proximity Mail Marketing?
Proximity Mail Marketing (PMM) is direct-mail marketing in which each campaign is anchored to a completed job at a specific address and mailed to a fixed count of that address's nearest neighboring homes — typically the 100 nearest — rather than to a ZIP code, carrier route, or purchased list. The distance required to reach those homes is the campaign's proximity radius, the category's unit of measurement; each mail piece carries its own tracked response code, so results are measured per household rather than per campaign.
Quillus coined the term, and every campaign above is one: your finished job is the anchor, the 100 nearest mailboxes are the audience. Read the full definition or the research behind the category.
This is what it looks like when it works.
These results are coming. In the meantime, meet the founding family — they believe in the product.
The satellite view on the back is what got people calling. They saw their own roof and figured I already knew about it.

Everything you need to turn one job into the whole street. Nothing you don't.
About a week to the mailbox
Printed, addressed, and into the USPS mail stream within a couple of business days. First-class delivery after that — about a week from order to mailbox, where the rest of direct mail takes a month.
True proximity
The 100 physically closest homes — not the whole ZIP, not a list rented from a broker.
Satellite imagery
Each recipient sees their own roof on the card. Automatic, free, and included on every campaign.
Scout from the app
Pan Street View and satellite over every nearby home before you send a single card. Spot the oldest, most weathered roofs, favorite them, and aim your campaign where the work is.
Unique QR per card
Know which neighbor scanned, when, and from which address. Attribution that actually works.
Scans land on your site
Every QR scan routes to your own website, where neighbors can book you directly. Your branding, your landing, your lead.
12 templates — or design your own
Every card in your campaign can look different. Choose from our per-home image library, drop in your own job shots, or build a card from scratch in the designer.

Roofers, solar, HVAC, electricians. The interface doesn't make you feel like you're filing taxes.

For the close you can't afford to lose
The questions every contractor asks first.
A full 100-home campaign runs about $98. No contract, no subscription, no minimums. Pay per campaign.
Cards are printed, addressed, and handed to USPS within a couple of business days. From there, standard first-class delivery applies — typically 2–5 days depending on distance. Plan on about a week from your order to the mailbox.
No. Pick a template, drop in a photo of your finished job, and you're done. Most users are ready to ship in under five minutes.
We geolocate the job site you enter, then pull the 100 physically closest mailable addresses. No ZIP-code shortcuts, no rented lists, no guessing.
No. Your customer's address anchors the geo search but is never printed on the cards you send. Recipients never learn who your customer was.
Yes. Upload a photo of the finished job, the crew, a before-and-after — whatever tells your story best.
None. Send one campaign and never send another. You're not on the hook for anything.
Every card has a unique QR code, so you'll see exactly how many neighbors scanned. If a campaign underperforms, we'll work with you on the next one.
