What it costs in San Jose

San Jose is the largest city in Northern California, about 970,000 people, and the center of Santa Clara County's 1.9 million. ZIP codes 950 and 951 cover the city and the valley. The housing is mostly single-family ranch and tract homes from the 1950s through the 1980s, with the highest home values of any large American city, and carrier routes of 400 to 700 homes across Willow Glen, Cambrian, Almaden, Evergreen and Berryessa. It is a strong EDDM and farming market with an unusually affluent audience.
Silicon Valley businesses mail for the same reasons businesses everywhere do, with a local twist: real estate agents farm neighborhoods where a single sale is worth seven figures, home services companies serve a housing stock that is uniformly due for roofs, windows and solar, and the valley's dense multilingual communities respond to mail in Vietnamese, Spanish, Chinese and Hindi as well as English.
Who mails in San Jose?
Real estate agents and teams farming Willow Glen, Almaden, Los Gatos, Cupertino and Saratoga; solar, roofing, remodeling, landscaping and pool companies mailing homeowner lists by value; restaurants in every cuisine the valley eats, mailing EDDM; dental, orthodontic, dermatology and fertility practices; private schools and tutoring centers, a large category here; auto dealers on Stevens Creek; and the financial advisors and wealth managers who mail the valley's households by net worth.
Language and neighborhood targeting
San Jose has the largest Vietnamese community of any US city, concentrated in East San Jose and along Story Road; large Mexican-American communities in the east and south; and Chinese and Indian communities in Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Milpitas and Evergreen. Mailings are routinely produced in two or three language versions routed to the appropriate carrier routes or household selections.
