Solutions › Traditional
Traditional marketing that is held to the numbers.
Mail, broadcast, outdoor, print, doors, events and referrals still reach homeowners who never click an ad. We run them with tracking built in, so they are judged against every other channel on booked jobs and cost per converted lead.

Traditional channels we run
Each channel has its own page with the detail. They are planned with your digital channels, because a homeowner often meets both before calling.
Direct mail
Reach homeowners in the neighborhoods where you win, with a number, code or URL on every piece.
TV and radio
Build awareness across your market, with tracking set up first and honest labels on what is measured.
Billboards and outdoor
Keep your name in front of the right neighborhoods, with locations chosen on purpose.
Print advertising
Local publications and directories your customers read, tested and kept only if they book jobs.
Door hangers and canvassing
Put your name on the doors near recent jobs and in the areas you want to win.
Events and sponsorships
Show up where homeowners already are, and capture every lead.
Referral programs
Turn happy customers and local partners into a steady source of low-cost leads.
Why traditional still belongs in the mix
Not every homeowner starts on Google. Some respond to the mailbox, the truck on the street, the sign by the road or a neighbor’s recommendation. These channels reach those people, and they can make your name familiar before someone ever searches.
Reach people who do not click
Offline channels meet homeowners where digital ads do not.
Make the name familiar
A name people have already seen is easier to choose when they do search.
Cover the neighborhoods you want
Routes, lists and locations let you aim at specific areas.
Create referral and repeat work
Referrals and partner programs turn finished jobs into new ones.
How we measure offline channels
Offline channels do not come with a click, so we build the tracking in before anything runs. Every channel gets a way to be counted, and every lead is tied to a booked job in your CRM.
Dedicated numbers
A different tracking number for each channel, drop or placement.
QR codes and short URLs
Easy for homeowners to use, and identifiable to us.
Promo codes
Codes on mail, hangers and event cards that your team can enter.
A question on every call
How did you hear about us, recorded in the CRM by your team.
Some channels, such as TV, radio and billboards, can only be partly measured. We label what is measured and what is inferred, so you are never shown a guess as a fact.
Which channel should come first
It depends on where you are today. This is a starting point, not a rule. A Growth Analysis replaces it with your own numbers.

Common mistakes
× Running without tracking.
If a channel cannot be counted, it cannot be judged.
× Mailing everyone.
Lists built around where you win outperform lists built around reach.
× Skipping follow-up on offline leads.
A lead from a mailer deserves the same speed as a lead from Google.
× Keeping two budgets.
Offline and digital channels help each other, and only a shared view shows how.
× Renewing out of habit.
Every placement should earn its next run.

Traditional FAQ
Common questions.
Do I need traditional marketing?
Not always. Some companies grow on digital alone. We recommend the mix based on your market, your trade and your numbers.
Can you run only traditional channels?
Yes, though results are easier to judge and improve when the channels share one view of booked jobs.
How do you compare traditional with digital?
On the same two numbers: booked jobs and cost per converted lead, using your CRM data.
We already have an agency. Does this replace them?
Yes. LogixLocal replaces your agency and runs the channels, the follow-up and the measurement as one system.
What do I need to get started?
A Growth Analysis. We review your channels, your follow-up and your numbers, then show you where the next dollar should go.
Not sure which traditional channels earn their budget?
Start with a Growth Analysis. We will show you what each channel books.
