Why not Meta or Google?

You already tried the algorithm. It didn't try back.

Meta and Google rent you a slice of attention for as long as your card is on file. The minute you pause spend, you disappear. There's no card on a counter, no fridge magnet, no thing the customer touches a week later when they remember they needed a plumber.

A card on the counter is still there next week. USPS puts 61% of advertising mail in the read-or-set-aside column and only 39% in the bin. The QR code on your card tells you exactly which zone scanned, when, on what device. That's attribution Meta can't even give you anymore.

You won't outbid Amazon for “plumber near me” on Google. You can be the only plumber on a card that lands in 5,000 mailboxes in your service area, sharing it with non-competing trades from $349, or taking the whole front of it yourself from $4,399.

Why direct mail

Read, not scrolled.

Stat 01

61%

Gets real attention

51% are read by a household member, another 10% set aside for later, 39% binned unread. A digital ad vanishes in a scroll.

Stat 02

36%

Strangers read it

A saturation drop lands with people who have never bought from you. They read it anyway. This is the row that describes your mailing.

Stat 03

Say they would respond

Of those strangers, that many call themselves very likely to respond. It is a small number and it is the real one. That is what your first drop has to beat.

Stat 04

With an offer on the card

A coupon moves prospect intent from 2% to 5%. It is the only one of these four numbers you control, so put a reason to call today on the card.

We love local business

The ad that used to need a designer and a big budget. Now it doesn't.

Most small businesses don't have a designer on retainer. Take a solo 5,000-home mailer to a print shop and you leave with four quotes to reconcile: design, paper, postage, and the mailing service. Nothing gets tracked. We do the design for free and put a QR code on every card.

Two ways in. Own the whole front of the card, edge to edge, mailed to every door on the carrier routes in the ZIP you name, on a guaranteed 3-week ship date. Or share it: one business per category, your trade locked, for a fraction of the price. Same 5,000 doors, same QR tracking, your call.

FAQ

Questions? We've got answers.

We print premium postcards carrying ads from local businesses and mail them to every home on the USPS carrier routes in the ZIP you name. Your ad gets a QR code that tracks scans, so you can see whether it worked.

Yes. A solo drop gives you the entire front of the card, edge to edge, with no co-advertisers anywhere on it. The back carries the postal address and nothing else. It mails to every door on the USPS carrier routes in the ZIP you name, on a guaranteed ship date about 3 weeks out. Solo runs in any US ZIP with residential mail delivery.

Solo means the card is yours alone, one advertiser, on a guaranteed ship date. Shared means you buy one category-exclusive spot on a card you split with other non-competing local trades: it costs a fraction of solo and it ships once the zone fills. Solo is the certain, premium option. Shared is the cheaper way in.

A standard drop reaches about 5,000 homes. Those are whole USPS carrier routes, so every mailbox on the route gets one and you do not need a mailing list.

No. We generate a few options from your business details. You preview them live and pick the one you want.

Every ad carries a unique QR code. When someone scans it you see total scans, unique visitors, and peak times in your dashboard.

If a drop does not reach its minimum fill we cancel it, usually within 24 hours, and email every buyer. You then pick one of three: roll your ad over to the next drop in that zone at no extra charge, take a store credit good for 12 months, or take a full refund to your original payment method. You have 7 days to choose. If you do not reply we roll you over, so your ad stays in the queue.
