Questions

Good questions we hear a lot.

How many calls will I get?

No honest mailer can promise a number. Results depend mostly on your offer, so we help you write a strong one ("$50 off your first cleaning" works better than "Call us today"). Your QR code shows exactly how many neighbors responded. For most home services, one job pays for the spot.

Who else will be on the card?

Up to 14 local businesses, never two from the same category. The live card above shows which categories are taken.

What do I need to send you?

Your logo, one or two photos if you have them, your phone number and website, and the offer you want to promote. The form after checkout takes about five minutes.

When will it arrive?

Spots close Friday, November 6. Cards mail the week of November 16 and usually reach homes within one to three days of drop-off.

Can I run more than once?

Yes. Repeat exposure works best, so past advertisers get first claim on their category for the next card, and we offer multi-month packages.

Is this a good fit for every business?

It works best for businesses that serve homeowners locally. If you sell only online or only to other businesses, we'll tell you honestly that your money is probably better spent elsewhere.
