When handwritten mail still wins

We're honest: LettrLabs is genuinely better for certain use cases. Here's when to consider them instead.

High-net-worth B2C outreach

When targeting affluent homeowners for estate landscaping, bespoke renovation, or high-end exterior work, handwritten mail signals exclusivity and effort in a way that postcards, even AI-personalized ones, may not. If your average job value exceeds $20,000 and your list is under 500 names, LettrLabs' approach can be the stronger fit.

Thank-you notes and referral campaigns

A handwritten thank-you note after a completed job remains one of the highest-conversion follow-up tools in home services. LettrLabs automates this at scale in a way that feels genuinely personal. For post-job nurture sequences aimed at referrals and repeat work, LettrLabs has a clear edge over any postcard format.

Real estate agent prospecting

Real estate agents farming geographic areas with just listed / just sold campaigns and circle prospecting often benefit from the tactile feel of handwritten mail. When your audience includes sellers and landlords evaluating a long-term relationship, the effort signal of a handwritten note can outperform visual property transforms.

Pricing comparison

The prices cover different things: LettrLabs prices the mail, CurbMailers prices the whole managed campaign. Compare what each dollar buys.

Why businesses switch to CurbMailers

Visual proof on every postcard

CurbMailers pulls a photo of the prospect's actual property and AI-generates what it could look like after your work. No other direct mail platform, including LettrLabs, can mail a before-and-after of someone's own home.

Done for you, end to end

One managed price covers list building, AI creative, proofs, mailing, and tracking. Qualified agencies can resell managed campaigns today, and a white-label agency dashboard is planned for V2. LettrLabs has no equivalent offering.

ROI tracking per address

Every postcard gets a unique QR code that maps scans back to the exact address, with optional call tracking. See which addresses responded, which campaigns converted, and what your cost per lead is.

Lower friction campaigns

Tell us the target area; we build the list, generate the AI creative, and send you proofs. No design agency, no print shop coordination. CurbMailers handles printing, addressing, and USPS delivery.

Frequently asked questions

What is the main difference between CurbMailers and LettrLabs?

CurbMailers uses AI to generate before-and-after photo transformations of a prospect's actual property, something LettrLabs cannot do. LettrLabs specializes in handwritten direct mail, which is personal but cannot be visually personalized to each recipient's home. CurbMailers is also a fully managed service: list building, AI creative, proofs, mailing, and per-postcard QR tracking are handled for you.

Is CurbMailers cheaper than LettrLabs?

No, and the two prices cover different things. LettrLabs handwritten mail starts around $0.75 per piece for the mail itself; you still build the list and run the campaign. CurbMailers campaigns are $2+ per mailer, fully managed: list building, AI property-personalized creative, proofs, printing, mailing, and per-postcard QR tracking are all included in one price.

Does LettrLabs offer a white-label dashboard?

No. LettrLabs does not offer a white-label solution for agencies. CurbMailers' white-label agency platform is planned for V2; today, qualified agencies can resell CurbMailers managed campaigns to their clients.

Can CurbMailers replace LettrLabs for home service businesses?

For most home service businesses, including roofers, landscapers, painters, and window installers, CurbMailers is a stronger fit. The AI photo transformation is uniquely persuasive: prospects see a vision of their own property with your work done. Campaigns target an 8%+ response rate; results are not guaranteed and depend on list quality, offer, market, and follow-up.

Does CurbMailers track responses and ROI?

Yes. Every CurbMailers postcard includes a unique QR code that maps scans back to individual addresses, with optional call tracking. You see which addresses responded and what converted, so you can prove ROI and optimize future campaigns.
