Los Angeles is the second-largest mail market in the country and the most spread out: about 3.8 million people in the city, close to 10 million in Los Angeles County, and ZIP codes from 900 through 918 covering a metro that runs 70 miles from the coast to the desert. Most of that area is single-family housing on carrier routes of 400 to 700 homes, which makes saturation mail, one card to every home on the routes you choose, unusually effective across the Valley, the South Bay, the San Gabriel Valley and the harbor cities.
The city's businesses are heavy mailers: real estate agents farming the hillside neighborhoods and the Valley, home services companies with the country's biggest pool of aging housing stock, restaurants in every language the city speaks, dental and medical groups, and the entertainment, fitness and retail brands that use mail to reach households digital ads cannot. Bilingual English and Spanish pieces are routine here, and we print them as versions of the same mailing.
Who mails in Los Angeles?
Real estate is the largest category: a listing in Sherman Oaks or Manhattan Beach is worth a year of farming, and agents mail 6×11 just-sold cards across the Valley and South Bay neighborhoods around their closings. Home services (solar, roofing, HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, pool service) mail seasonal offers by home age and value, and the 1950s and 1960s tracts in the Valley and the South Bay are exactly the homes due for systems. Restaurants and food delivery mail menus to the routes around them; dentists and med spas mail new patient and elective offers by household income; auto dealers along the freeways mail sales events across the county.
Neighborhood and language targeting
Los Angeles County households speak Spanish, Korean, Armenian, Chinese, Tagalog, Persian and dozens of other languages at home, and a mailing can follow that neighborhood by neighborhood: Spanish-language versions for the Eastside and the southeast cities, Korean for Koreatown, Armenian for Glendale, Chinese for the San Gabriel Valley. A single mailing can carry several language versions, each sent to the routes where it belongs or to the customers on your list who read it.
Entry and delivery across the basin
Mail for the city is worked through the Los Angeles P&DC downtown, with Santa Clarita, the Valley and the South Bay served by their own facilities. In a county this size, a big saturation mailing is split by facility so each ZIP receives its pieces the same week rather than trickling in over ten days, and the job goes to whichever of our three print partners has the network and the mail dates to cover that spread.

Answers
Direct mail in Los Angeles: questions people ask
How much does saturation mail cost in Los Angeles?
There's no set price for saturating Los Angeles routes; each drop is quoted from the routes you pick and the number of cards. How far the drop spreads matters most. The metro runs 70 miles from the coast to the desert, and a drop that crosses it is entered at several facilities, from the downtown P&DC to Santa Clarita, rather than one.
Can you print bilingual English and Spanish mailers for Los Angeles?
Yes. We print a Spanish or bilingual version of the same piece and mail it to the routes or households you choose, in the same mailing as the English version, at the same per-piece price.
Which Los Angeles neighborhoods work best for saturation mail?
Single-family neighborhoods with carrier routes of 400 to 700 homes: most of the San Fernando Valley, the South Bay beach cities, the San Gabriel Valley, Long Beach, Torrance and the harbor area. In the dense Westside and downtown apartment areas, a customer list you already have usually beats covering every unit.
How big should a just-sold mailing be in Los Angeles?
A thousand cards at least, since that is where every order starts. In the Valley or the South Bay, where routes run 400 to 700 homes, that is two or three carrier routes around the close; 5,000 pieces is roughly seven to twelve routes, enough to wrap a ring of neighborhoods around one close, or around several, with a 6×11 just-sold card.
