Questions, Answered
What does the price include?
Your ad spot on the 9x12 postcard, ad copy and design, design changes, printing, postage, mail prep, and USPS handoff. You also get a custom QR code and $674 in extra tools and setup.
Is another business in my category allowed?
No. We allow one business per category on each edition. This is true for every ad size.
Which homes receive the postcard?
We mail to every address on selected USPS mail routes. Each edition goes to up to 10,000 homes. It does not go to every home in a city or ZIP code.
Do I need a website?
No. Your QR code opens a matching campaign page we set up for you. If you have a website, we can link to it.
Do I need to learn new software?
No. We handle the ad and page setup. The scripts and messages are ready to copy and send from your own phone or email.
Can I change my ad for the next edition?
Yes. Tell us before the next edition's art deadline and we will update your ad.
Is there a minimum commitment?
No. You can buy one edition. A 3-edition bundle is also available if you want to show up again and again.
When is the next mailing?
We mail a new edition about every 4 to 6 weeks. We will tell you the exact date for your edition when we confirm your category.
How do I track results?
Your QR platform shows when people scan your ad. A scan is not the same as a call or a sale. Ask new customers how they found you, too.
Do I get a new kit with every mailing?
No. Your kit is provided when you join. You can keep using the cards and tools after that.
How long does QR platform access last?
You get 12 months of access to our QR platform. Hosted pages and platform features follow those access terms.
