Birmingham is the largest metro in Alabama, about 200,000 people in the city and 1.1 million in a region with ZIP codes 352 covering Jefferson County and 350 and 351 the suburbs, including Shelby County to the south. The city's housing is single-family bungalows and cottages on residential routes in Forest Park, Avondale, Crestwood and the Southside; the over-the-mountain suburbs of Mountain Brook, Vestavia Hills, Homewood and Hoover carry some of the highest home values in the Southeast; and Shelby County (Pelham, Alabaster, Chelsea, Helena) and Trussville to the east are the growth corridors.
Birmingham mails through its healthcare, banking and insurance employers, which mail consumers regionally and nationally from here; through real estate teams farming Mountain Brook, Vestavia and Hoover; through home services companies mailing their customers and homeowners across the metro; and through the restaurants, barbecue businesses, dental practices, private schools, churches and nonprofits that mail the region.
Who mails in Birmingham?
Heating and cooling, roofing, pest control (termites are a season), plumbing, landscaping, gutters and window companies; real estate agents and teams; restaurants and barbecue joints mailing the routes around them; dental, orthodontic and medical practices; the hospital systems and the university medical center; private schools, churches and nonprofits; auto dealers along Highway 280 and I-65; and the banking, insurance and healthcare employers of the metro.
Over the mountain and the growth corridors
Mountain Brook, Vestavia Hills, Homewood and Hoover get farmed by agents from their own lists, and remodelers and home services companies mail the same streets. Pelham, Alabaster, Chelsea and Helena in Shelby County and Trussville and Gardendale to the northeast are the growth corridors with the metro's new mover volume. Forest Park, Avondale and Crestwood inside the city are farmed by agents; the rest of the city and Bessemer are dense territory for saturation mail.
When Birmingham mails
Termites are a season here, so termite and air conditioning offers share April. Roofers follow the spring storms, heating goes out in October, and summer is when most families move.

Answers
Direct mail in Birmingham: questions people ask
How much does direct mail cost in Birmingham?
You'll get a Birmingham figure once the mailing is defined; there's no posted one. The big split is over the mountain versus the rest. Farming Mountain Brook, Vestavia Hills, Homewood and Hoover means mailing a list you bring; Bessemer and the rest of the city are dense routes that saturation mail covers without one. Which of our three print partners serves central Alabama on your dates sets the rest.
Can a Birmingham mailing include Hoover and Shelby County?
Yes. With Jefferson, Shelby, St. Clair and Blount Counties in play, Hoover and the other over-the-mountain suburbs, Pelham, Alabaster, Chelsea and Helena in Shelby, and Trussville to the northeast can all mail with the city.
Who mails Mountain Brook and Vestavia Hills?
Real estate teams, remodelers and home services companies, for the most part. Home values over the mountain, Homewood and Hoover included, are some of the highest in the Southeast, and those suburbs can go out in the same drop as Birmingham.
When should a Birmingham heating and cooling company mail?
Twice a year: air conditioning offers in April and heating offers in October. April is termite month too, and roofers mail after the spring storms, so the spring cards have company. Summer, when most moves happen, is busiest in the growth corridors of Shelby County and Trussville.
