Tracking results

Mail you can measure. Every card carries two ways for customers to respond — and every response lands on your dashboard, day by day, card by card.

The response block

Look at the corner of any card in this guide and you'll see it:

  • Your phone number, printed big enough to actually dial.
  • A QR code unique to each mailing. When someone scans it, they land on your website or booking page — and the scan is counted as a response for that exact mailing. That's how you know which card, which month, and which neighborhood pulled.
Good to know The QR destination is yours to set — your site by default, or a booking link in Settings. No pixels, no tracking of your customers around the web. A scan counts a response; that's it.

The Results page

The Results page: cards mailed, responses, response rate, and the daily chart
The real Results page from our roofing company: 242 cards mailed, responses tracked by day, mailings marked with a stamp on the timeline.

The strip on top is the whole story — cards mailed, responses, response rate, and this month's activity. Below it, Responses by day: each mailing appears as a little stamp on the timeline, and the line shows responses as they come in. Click any day to see which campaign earned those responses.

The responses-by-day chart with a stamp marking a mailing day
Stamps mark mailing days. Responses usually start 3–7 days after a mailing — a quiet stretch right after you send is normal.

How to read your numbers honestly

  • Give it a week. Mail has a built-in delay: printing, delivery, then the scan. Judge a card at day 10, not day 2.
  • Rates need volume. We only show a response rate once a campaign has at least 25 cards out — below that, small numbers turn into silly percentages, so we show plain counts instead.
  • Scans undercount reality. Some people call. Some walk in with the card in hand. Treat QR responses as your floor, not your ceiling — and ask new customers how they heard about you.
  • Compare cards, not months. The point of per-mailing tracking is learning which message pulls. When one card outperforms, send it again — repetition compounds.
