Getting started with Bid Mailers is simple. Here's the complete journey from creating your account to getting your first call.
Install the Bid Mailers app on your phone (iOS or Android). The app is where you'll create your account and where your team pins homes in the field.
Free to download. Available on iPhone and Android.
Open the app and sign up in under a minute. No credit card required, no contracts, no commitments.
Free to sign up. You only pay when mailers ship.
Tell us about your business: your logo, your price per square for each pitch (entered before waste factor; we apply a 6–15% waste factor per roof), shingle preferences, warranty details, certifications, and services. This is what we use to build your custom template.
Takes about 10 minutes. One time only.
Our in-house designer creates your branded 5-page estimate template using the info you provided. Logos, colors, pricing formula, services: all customized to you.
First draft typically within 1-3 business days.
We email you a proof. Request changes and we'll revise until you love it. Most customers approve within 1-2 rounds.
Unlimited revisions. Your template, your way.
Add your sales reps or surveyors so they can pin homes from their own phones. Set daily or weekly pin limits per user to control spend.
No extra cost for additional users.
Drive through neighborhoods and drop pins on homes that need a new roof. Your team can pin 200+ homes per hour right from the truck.
Pin from the field or from satellite view.
Every week, we measure each pinned roof via satellite (pitch and a 6–15% waste factor included), generate the pricing using your formula, print the 5-page estimate, and ship it via USPS. Sunday cutoff; we aim to bill Tuesday, and mailers typically ship Friday.
All 50 states. You only pay for what ships.
Homeowners receive your custom estimate with their house photo and real pricing. When they call, they've already seen the price. They're not shopping, they're buying.
QR scan and form submission notifications by email.
Most customers go from sign-up to first mailer shipped in under two weeks. No risk, no contracts.
Postcards get tossed. Door knocking burns hours. Online estimators attract tire-kickers. There's a better way to get your bid in the right hands.
Now it takes one tap. Pin the homes, and every one of them gets your estimate in their mailbox before they start shopping. For the vast majority of homes you mail, you're the only bid they're holding.
