Your business in Saratoga homeowners’ mailboxes, every month.
The Saratoga Market writes to Saratoga homeowners by mail. Market Partners go out with those letters: your logo, your story in your own words, and a QR code to your page, in front of up to 500 Saratoga homes a month. Partner fees pay for more mail, so the more partners there are, the more homes we reach.
Three steps, then it runs itself
- ApplyTwo minutes, below. Tell us your trade and which plan you’d like.
- We hold your trade’s spotOne business per trade in Saratoga. Tim McMullen confirms your spot, your logo and the few lines we’ll print, and you approve them before anything goes out.
- You go out with the next mailingEvery month, to up to 500 Saratoga homes. Your page on the Local Business Map counts every visit, call and click to your website, so you can see what it brings you.
Month to month. No contract.
- Your logo and one line on the Market Partners page of our monthly mailing to up to 500 Saratoga homes
- The only business in your trade, for as long as you stay
- You approve every word before it prints
- A full panel instead of a line: your story in your own words, a photo, and a QR code to your page
- The only business in your trade, for as long as you stay
- You approve every word before it prints
Open only to businesses that work in Saratoga homes and gardens: trades, home services and repairs, licensed where the work needs a license. Not open to lenders, title, escrow, insurance, appraisal, home inspection, pest inspection or home warranty companies.
Your story, not an ad
The panel uses what you wrote on your page: why you do the work, how you look after a customer. Homeowners meet the person behind the truck before they ever call.
“A line or two from your own story, in your words.”
Plain and fair
- Marked as a partner. Everything we print or send for you says “Market Partner”. Nothing is dressed up as our recommendation.
- The map stays equal. Every business keeps its free page. Partners don’t get a better spot on the map or in the site’s answers.
- Advertising, not referrals. A flat monthly fee for a place in our mail. No referral fees, no commissions, no paying for introductions, in either direction.
- You approve every word. Nothing with your name goes out until you’ve said yes to it.
- Stop any time. Month to month. Tell us before the next mailing and you’re out of it.
Your own email series to the homes around your projects
A contractor partner gets more than a place in the mail: a campaign of their own. The homes nearest a job site, from the county roll, with the owner on title and a verified email; a short series sent from your own domain, warmed up properly so it lands in inboxes; every email approved by you before it goes, every reply sent to you. You tell us who, when, why and what. The desk builds the list and sends it.
Four steps
- Create your partner account. Company, trade, licence, where you work. Two minutes.
- Book a short call with Tim. Your trade, the homes you want to reach, what you want to say.
- Write the brief. Who, when, why now, and what you are offering. The desk builds the list and the series from it.
- Approve and go. You review every email; it runs on its own after that. Business goes both ways between us, and no referral fees in either direction.
Ask for your trade’s spot
Tim McMullen will reply within two business days to confirm your trade is open, and to go over your logo and the lines we’d print. Nothing is charged until you’ve approved them.
Before you apply
Who sees the mail?
Saratoga homeowners: the people The Saratoga Market writes to about their homes, their street and the sales around them. Each letter goes to the owner of record at the address on the county roll.
Why one business per trade?
So your panel never sits next to a competitor’s, and homeowners see one name for each kind of work.
Do I need a page on the Local Business Map?
Yes. It’s free, and it’s where the QR code on your panel leads. If you don’t have one yet, ask for yours.
How do I know it’s working?
Your page counts every visit, every call button tapped and every click to your website, and it counts the visits that come from the mailing itself: your short address, and on a Featured panel your QR code, open your page. You can see the numbers any time in your page’s editor, and we email you each month’s numbers on the 1st.
Can I stop?
Yes, any month. Tell us before the next mailing goes to print and you’re not in it, or billed for it.
