Own Your Category on the Community Postcard

The Community Postcard is our main product. It is a 6.5 x 12 inch full-color glossy postcard shared by up to 16 local businesses. We mail it by USPS Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) to 2,500 homes per edition, on carrier routes chosen for single-family, owner-occupied homes.

Think of it as a co-op mailer, with one big difference: only one business per category goes on each card. One roofer. One dentist. One landscaper. When a homeowner reads the card, they see your offer without a competitor sitting right next to it.

What makes a shared postcard work

Splitting one card between local businesses keeps the cost down. You get a spot on an oversized, glossy piece of mail for a fraction of what a solo mailing costs, and the card is big enough to stand out from letters and bills. Because EDDM is saturation mail, it reaches every address on the routes we pick. There is no list to buy.

The routes matter. We build each edition from carrier routes made up mostly of owner-occupied homes. Those are the people who hire roofers and plumbers, book dental cleanings and look for a good mechanic. You can read more about that in our guide on how postcard mail routes are chosen.

What you send, what we do

You send three things: your logo, your offer and your contact details. Professional ad design is free. We lay out your ad, add a QR code and a trackable offer if you want them, and send you a proof. Nothing prints until you approve it. Then we handle printing and mailing.

Payment is due at reservation, by card or ACH. Spots are first come, first served and are not held without payment. The current edition is Draper, and Sandy and Cottonwood Heights each have their own edition with their own open categories. Contact us for the next mail date and open categories.

Common problems we solve

“My competitor is always on the same mailer.” Coupon packs and shared mailers often take every business that pays. We hold one spot per category, so your category is yours on that card.

“I don’t have time to design an ad.” You don’t need to. Send your logo and offer, and we do the rest.

“I can’t tell if print advertising works.” Every ad can include a QR code and an offer that only appears on the postcard. Scans and offer redemptions show you what the card brought in. Our guide on tracking postcard ads walks through a simple system.

“Solo mailings cost too much.” Sharing the card with up to 15 other local businesses keeps the price at $249 for a single spot. If you do want a card of your own, look at solo Direct Mail and EDDM.
