The Problem

Route Density is the #1 Driver of Propane Profitability

Yet most propane companies have no systematic way to achieve it.

The Scattered Customer Problem

Customers acquired randomly across your service area

Trucks driving 15+ miles between stops

Fuel, labor, and vehicle costs eat your margins

Marketing dollars wasted on non-strategic areas

The Math is Clear

Scattered Route (8 stops, 47 miles)
$38/stop
delivery cost
Dense Route (8 stops, 12 miles)
$14/stop
delivery cost
63%
cost reduction with density

The problem isn't that propane companies don't want density.
It's that they have no marketing system designed to achieve it.

The Strategy

Why a Multi-Prong Blitz?

Single-channel marketing doesn't work for density. Here's why you need coordinated saturation.

Direct Mail

The only channel that reaches exact addresses with personalized, variable pricing.

Precision Targeting

Facebook Ads

Brand awareness layer that creates multi-touch exposure in targeted zip codes.

Awareness & Frequency

SMS Alerts

"Truck in your area" alerts with off-market pricing when delivery truck is nearby.

Marginal Stop Capture

The Blitz Effect

1
Postcard arrives with personalized quote
2
FB ad reinforces brand in feed
3
Neighbor signs up, tells others
4
SMS alert captures nearby homes

Result: Coordinated saturation of a neighborhood until you hit critical density.

The Solution

How PropaneBlaster Works

A purpose-built marketing system for propane route density

1

Upload Your Territory

Import existing customers, highlight target neighborhoods, and let our system identify high-potential density zones.

2

Gamified Incentives

FOMO credits (time-limited) + Cohort rebates (neighbor-based) create urgency and turn customers into recruiters.

4

The Psychology

Why Rebates, Not Upfront Discounts?

Social accountability creates natural density clustering

Upfront Discounts (The Old Way)

Customer gets discount immediately

No ongoing commitment required

No incentive to recruit neighbors

Easy to churn after first delivery

Cohort Rebates (PropaneBlaster)

Rebate earned over time (annual)

Rebate size depends on neighbors

Strong incentive to recruit others

Social accountability prevents churn

The Social Accountability Mechanism

When a neighbor cancels their service agreement or pulls out of the cohort, everyone's rebate tier drops.

If 8 neighbors signed up for a 15% rebate, but one cancels, the remaining 7 drop back to 10%.

This creates peer pressure to stay committed — neighbors are invested in each other's participation.
