How it works

Type a ZIP. Approve a card. Watch the scans.

We design your postcard free, print it, and mail it to the homes on USPS carrier routes we pick in the ZIP you name. Design, printing, postage and tracking are one price.

  1. 01

    Enter your ZIP.

    Type the ZIP you serve and pick a size. We choose the carrier routes for that ZIP from the USPS route map, and every home on them gets a card. The price beside the box is the whole price.

    Any US ZIP with residential mail delivery. There is no waitlist.

    Book a bigger mailing in the same ZIP within 90 days of your mail date, and what you paid comes off it.

    Other sizes are on the size picker.

  2. 02

    Approve your free design.

    Give us your business name or website. We read your site, your logo and your colors and write the card for the size it prints. The first draft is ready in about a minute. You see it before anything prints, and you can ask for changes.

    5 free AI designs every 30 days, 10 once you have run a drop. The allowance covers your whole account, not each ad.

    Emergency trades are scanned for one thing: does this person fix my exact problem, and will they pick up. The service list earns its space here, and the phone number is sized to be read from across a kitchen.

  3. 03

    We mail it. You watch the scans.

    We print the cards and hand them to USPS on your mail date, which you see before you pay. Every card carries its own QR code. Each scan shows up in your dashboard with the time, the device type and a rough location, so you count what the card did instead of guessing.

The other way to buy

Or take a spot on a shared card.

12 local businesses split one postcard, one per trade, so no competitor of yours is on it. It costs less than a card of your own, and it mails when the card fills instead of on a date you pick.

  • One business per trade. Your category is locked on that card the moment you take the spot.
  • Design is still free. The same engine designs your spot, and you approve it the same way.
  • Nothing charged until it fills. A shared card mails once 9 of 12 slots are taken. Until the zone reaches that, nothing is charged. If it never gets there you choose a rollover to the next drop, store credit, or a full refund.

Questions

Your own card mails within 3 weeks of purchase, and the mail date is shown before you pay. A spot on a shared card mails once 9 of 12 spots are taken, so its date depends on how fast the card fills. Delivery after the mail date is up to USPS.

USPS delivers Every Door Direct Mail to whole carrier routes, and every home on a chosen route gets a card, so no size is an exact count. We choose the routes for the ZIP you name from the USPS route map. You don't pick them, and you won't see them before you pay. The smallest size is 2 routes, which hold 900 to 1,400 homes between them. A typical pair holds 1,178. You pay the same wherever your count ends up. Vacant homes and PO-box-only addresses don't get a card, because USPS doesn't deliver EDDM to them.

Yes. You see the finished card before you pay, at the size it prints, and nothing goes to the press until you approve it.

Each card carries its own code. A scan opens the page you choose, and your dashboard records the time, the device type and a rough location. You can change where the code points at any time, even after the cards mail.
