What Welcome Wagon does

Welcome Wagon is a U.S. B2B marketing services company, founded in 1928 and headquartered in Coral Springs, Florida, that specializes in new mover marketing. The company connects national brands and local small businesses with households within a 1-14 day window after home closing, a period in which the company states 85% of new movers choose the first business that contacts them. Welcome Wagon reports coverage of over 90% of U.S. movers across 4,500+ markets, reaching approximately 1 million consumers monthly through its direct mail and digital channels.

The company's product suite comprises Direct Mail & Inserts, Digital Marketing, and the National Program—a coordinated nationwide initiative delivering up to 300,000 monthly direct mail pieces and 150,000 email impressions. Consumer-facing assets include the Welcome Wagon mobile application (available on iOS and Google Play) and a Local Coupons Directory. The underlying platform combines mover data feeds, multi-channel campaign orchestration, and a distributed field sales operation that services both enterprise advertisers and long-tail SMBs across verticals including insurance, home services, financial services, automotive, healthcare, retail, and restaurants.

Welcome Wagon operates a subscription/recurring B2B revenue model with quote-based, non-publicly disclosed pricing. The company sells primarily through an enterprise field sales motion to national brands and through a direct sales channel to local SMBs, supplemented by a self-service consumer app and directory. The company is privately held, has 251-500 employees, and its only disclosed institutional capital event is a 2005 funding round from Housatonic Partners. In March 2026, the company expanded its National Program, scaling nationwide reach.
