Campaign plays

One registry. Every kind of campaign.

Generic lists guess. AeroTarget knows the make, model, year, and owner location of every U.S.-registered aircraft, so every piece of mail can speak to the airplane in someone's hangar.

Welcome new owners

Be the first to say hello.

Reach owners soon after an aircraft is registered to them, while they're still choosing their shop, FBO, insurer, and instructor.

segment: new registrations · last 30 days · SF50
Own your radius

Win the owners next door.

Find every owner of a given type within a set distance of your facility and invite them in. Perfect for FBOs, MROs, and avionics shops.

segment: King Air · within 250 nm of your field
Speak to the type

Make offers that fit the airplane.

Upgrades, parts, inspections, and training differ by model. Send SR22T owners an SR22T message, not a generic flyer.

Stay top of mind

Keep showing up, automatically.

Save a segment and mail it on a schedule. As the registry updates, the segment updates too, so new owners join and sold aircraft drop off.

White-glove · All-in-one

We print it. We mail it. You take the calls.

Most aviation businesses don't have a marketing department, let alone a mail room. AeroTarget's white-glove service takes everything after "approve" off your plate: one team, one proof, one invoice.

  • No print vendors to manage or quotes to chase
  • No exporting lists, merging files, or stuffing envelopes
  • No postage meters, presort rules, or post-office runs
  • One partner from owner segment to mailbox

Professional printing

Full-color postcards and personalized letters on quality stock, printed to your approved proof.

Address hygiene

Addresses from the registry are standardized and checked against USPS data before anything prints.

Fulfillment

Personalization, folding, inserting, and sealing handled for every piece, whether it's 50 or 5,000.

Postage & mailing

We sort, apply postage, and hand off to USPS. Postage is rolled into your campaign price.

Scheduling

Send once, or set a recurring drop so new owners in your segment hear from you on a schedule.

Tracking & reporting

See when each drop prints and mails, then measure response with QR codes or unique URLs on every piece.

Postcards

Fast, visual, and read on the spot. Great for offers, events, and introductions.

Letters

Personal, detailed, and addressed to the registered owner by name. Ideal for higher-value services.

Labels

Prefer to mail in-house? Download print-ready mailing labels and letters from any segment.

Why AeroTarget

Aviation marketing, minus the busywork.

Hands-off.

Define who you want to reach and approve the proof. Printing, fulfillment, postage, and mailing are handled for you. It's like having an aviation-savvy mail team on staff.

Pin-point.

Target by the airplane, not by a guess. Filter by make, model, year, engine type, weight class, state, or nautical-mile radius of your facility.

Always current.

We pull and verify the FAA Releasable Aircraft Database every business day, so new owners show up and deregistered aircraft drop off.

Why mail works

Mail gets opened, read, and kept.

An owner's inbox is crowded and a feed scrolls past in seconds. A printed piece lands in a real mailbox, gets picked up, and often stays on the hangar desk for months.

Open rate

Reach every owner, not a spam folder.

Aviation-specific vs. generic lists

Why the registry beats a rented list.

Most generic mailing lists are built for broad consumer marketing. Aircraft owners are a small, specific, constantly changing audience, so the source of your list matters.

Outcomes

Mail that gets read in the hangar.

A less crowded channel

Owners' inboxes are full. A well-designed postcard on the hangar desk or kitchen counter gets a second look, and often a third.

Less wasted spend

Mail only the owners who fit your offer by type, location, and timing, instead of paying to reach people who will never need you.

Hours back every month

No list cleanup, vendor wrangling, or post-office runs. Approve once and get back to running your business.

Results you can measure

Unique QR codes and URLs on each campaign show which segments respond, so every drop gets smarter.

Only on AeroTarget

Built for aviation. Not bolted onto a mail tool.

General-purpose mail platforms stop at the address. AeroTarget is built on the FAA registry and its own mail data, so you can see which aircraft fly for hire, what's registered around any tail, and what every piece of mail did after it landed.

✓Six capabilities you won't find on general-purpose mail platforms
Enhanced N-Number Lookup

Any tail number, plus every like aircraft around it.

Enter an N-number to pull its FAA registration, registered owner, aircraft, and engine details. Then see how many like aircraft are registered within 50, 100, and 250 miles.

FAR Part 135 intelligence

Know which aircraft fly for hire before you mail.

AeroTarget flags Part 135 fleets and aircraft right in your results. Include them or leave them out of any segment with one switch, and follow Part 135 fleets over time with dedicated analytics. 135 marks an aircraft operated under Part 135.

Offline attribution

See what your mail did, long after it landed.

Our proprietary offline attribution system measures how recipients interact with each mail piece over time, so you know which campaigns, segments, and offers actually moved owners to act.

Return-to-sender

Every returned piece makes the next drop land better.

Proprietary return-to-sender processing learns from undeliverable mail and constantly improves deliverability, so less of your budget comes back with a yellow sticker.

Discount programs

A personal offer for every owner, redeemable in your store.

We build creative, individualized discount programs for your campaigns that plug into your e-commerce platform, such as Shopify, so each owner gets an offer of their own.

OEM & fleet analytics

Watch OEMs and fleets change over time.

Track how OEMs and fleets perform over time, so you can see which types are growing, where fleets are shifting, and where to aim your next campaign.

FAQ

Common questions.

Where does the owner data come from?

From the FAA Releasable Aircraft Database, the public registry of every U.S. civil aircraft. We pull, parse, and verify it every business day and add structure so you can segment it.

Is this data legal to use for marketing?

Yes. The FAA registry is public record and published for download. We surface only FAA public-record data. No scraping, no purchased lists, no inferred contacts.

Do I have to design the mail piece myself?

No. You can build templates in AeroTarget, upload your own artwork, or have our team help with design and copy. You approve a proof before anything prints.

What can you mail?

Full-color postcards and personalized letters addressed to the registered owner.

How fast does mail go out?

Once you approve the proof, we print and hand off to USPS. Delivery time then depends on mail class and destination.

Is there a minimum order?

You can start with a small test segment and scale up once you see what works.

Can I still mail it myself?

Yes. Every plan lets you download print-ready labels and letters from your segments. White-glove mail is there when you'd rather not.

Do you cover aircraft outside the U.S.?

Not yet. The FAA database covers U.S. civil aviation only. International registries are on the roadmap but not committed.
