Phoenix is the fifth-largest city in the country and the center of a metro of nearly 5 million people that has grown faster than almost any other for thirty years. ZIP codes 850 through 853 cover the city and Maricopa County, from Glendale and Peoria in the west through Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler and Gilbert in the east. The housing is new, single-family and laid out on a grid, and carrier routes are large and uniform, which makes the Valley one of the easiest places in the country to saturate a neighborhood or run a farming program.
Two things make Phoenix mail different. Growth means new movers by the thousands every month, so a saturation drop on one of the newer subdivisions lands in a lot of mailboxes that have only just been claimed. And the seasonal population, the winter residents in Scottsdale, Sun City, Mesa and the East Valley, means timing decides who is home: mail that lands between November and April finds them, which matters for restaurants, medical practices, golf and everything a snowbird buys.
Who mails in Phoenix?
Air conditioning companies, first and always; then roofing, pool service and remodeling, pest control (scorpions are a business here), landscaping and irrigation, solar, window and door replacement. Real estate teams farm the East Valley and North Phoenix subdivisions where turnover is constant. Dental, dermatology, orthopedic and med spa practices mail new patient offers. Restaurants in every city in the Valley saturate the routes around them. Retirement communities, senior services and Medicare plans mail the 55-plus communities from Sun City to Sun Lakes.
Timing for the desert
The Phoenix year runs backward from most of the country: October through April is the busy season for restaurants, retail, medical and everything aimed at winter residents, and air conditioning offers land in March and April before the first 100-degree day. Roofing and painting mail in the fall after monsoon season. People move to the Valley in every month, with the heaviest arrivals from January through April.
The East Valley and the West Valley
Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert and Tempe on the east side and Glendale, Peoria, Surprise, Goodyear and Buckeye on the west are separate markets in practice, and most Valley businesses mail one or the other. Carrier routes in the newer subdivisions run 500 to 900 homes, so a 5,000-piece saturation drop covers a tight radius. We broker each Valley job to one of the three national print and mail companies we have exclusive partnerships with, and each keeps its own calendar of mail dates for Maricopa County.

Answers
Direct mail in Phoenix: questions people ask
How much does direct mail cost in Phoenix?
A Phoenix mailing is priced for the part of the Valley it covers and for the job; nothing is published. Most Valley businesses mail the East Valley or the West Valley, not both, and that choice sets the size of the job. Routes in the newer subdivisions run 500 to 900 homes, so each one you add is a large block of cards.
Can you reach winter residents in Scottsdale and Sun City?
Yes, two ways. A business that keeps a list of its seasonal customers can have it mailed on a date that lands between November and April, while they're in the Valley. Without one, covering the 55-plus routes of Sun City or the East Valley in that window reaches the same households.
How do Phoenix businesses reach people who have just moved in?
By saturating the newest subdivisions. Phoenix has one of the largest new mover volumes in the country, and in the East Valley and West Valley growth areas the homes on a freshly built route mostly belong to recent arrivals. A 5,000-card drop there reaches them at the addresses they have just moved into.
What month should a Phoenix air conditioning company start mailing?
March, and again in April, so the offers land before the first 100-degree day. AC companies are first on any list of who mails in the Valley. Roofing and painting companies mail at the other end of the year, in the fall after monsoon season, while restaurants and medical practices aim at October through April.
