During the major life change of a move, new movers are forming habits and patterns that stick for years to come. Our goal is to introduce your business to that new family or individual and help you seal that long-term loyal relationship that will provide tremendous revenue opportunity.

Is it expensive to use Welcomemat?

Welcomemat is built for businesses of all sizes. The investment you make depends on the size of the area you want to reach.

What makes Welcomemat different from other new mover programs?

Welcomemat sets itself apart from other welcoming programs in many ways:

  • Welcomemat is the most modern and technically advanced welcoming program in the industry. With two patents on data tracking and one pending in the mobile space, Welcomemat’s unique approach allows businesses to connect to new movers and track results in powerful ways.
  • Welcomemat uses multiple mediums to help small businesses develop relationships with those new families moving into their communities through direct mail, data tracking, remarketing, social media, email and mobile.
  • Another piece that is critical to the support of local businesses is that we don’t put typical “junk-mail” type offers in our packages.
  • Welcomemat’s tremendous growth over the past few years has made Welcomemat the fastest growing company in the new mover space.

Do you put junk mail in your packages….things like offers for puppy dog designed checks or antique dolls?

No, Welcomemat prides itself on staying upscale and sophisticated and avoids putting these type of offers in the package.
