📬 Why Our Co-Op Postcard Mailer Works

Big. Bold. Unmissable.

Our co-op postcard isn’t just marketing—it’s a local visibility machine. This oversized, full-color mailer is sent directly to 5,000+/- doors in your area, landing in the hands (and on the fridges) of the very people you're trying to reach. No envelopes to open, no spam folders to dodge, and definitely no scrolling past your message. Did I mention it's in your face.. HUGE!

It’s eye-catching. It’s shared. And best of all—it sticks around.

💡 Why Co-Op Mail Makes Sense for Local Businesses

Shared Space, Not Shared Competition: Only one business per industry is featured per mailer. That means if you're a roofer, you're the roofer. No competing offers in the same category.

Oversized Impact: A jumbo postcard, that demands attention.

Turnkey Simplicity: We handle design, printing, postage, and delivery—start to finish.

Budget-Friendly: Reach thousands of local households for just pennies per home—up to 90% less than going solo.

Extras Included: QR code and landing page included at no extra charge.

Repeat Impressions: These cards stick around. On the fridge. On the counter. In your customer’s mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

I get a lot of questions from local business owners about Co-Op advertising. Here is a list of the most frequent questions that I encounter. If you have a question that is not covered here, reach out anytime.

What’s co‑op postcard advertising and why is it so affordable?

It's a 9x12 glossy postcard. Think of it as a giant shoutout to your business—right in the mailbox! Our oversized 9x12 co-op postcard features a handful of top-notch local businesses (like yours), all sharing the spotlight and splitting the cost. It’s bright, bold, and impossible to ignore—mailed directly to approximately 5000 local doors. It's affordable because multiple businesses are sharing the printing and mailing costs—so instead of paying thousands on your own, you get direct mail to thousands of homes for just a few hundred bucks. It's a no-fluff way to get your brand noticed and bring in new customers without blowing your budget.

Can you break down the cost for me?

Do-It-Yourself costs would include the following for a 5000 piece mailer on 6.5 x 9, 14pt full color glossy card stock. That is the smallest size that you send via the USPS EDDM program.

Design - $250

Printing - $0.22 each ($1,094)

EDDM Postage - $.247 each ($1235)

Your Time - ($)

That's roughly $2829 or $0.57 per door for a small business owner to complete a monthly mailing.

With the Co-Op postcard your business will be a jumbo 9x12 postcard with advantage of having other businesses that add to the staying power of the card.

Design, print, mail, provided qr code, provided landing page, provided digital coupon for the 9x12 Co-Op card is currently $.05 - $.12 per door depending on ad size.

How does the co‑op process work?

Once all ad spots are filled, it usually takes about 2 weeks for design and another 2 weeks to print and mail. From signup to mailbox, the whole campaign takes around a month.

Is there a long-term contract?

No, marketing pieces are mailed once per month. You can choose to be on one mailing or more. Keep in mind brand recognition is a long term play, but pays off in perpetuity.

Where do you mail the postcard?

We mail via USPS Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM), targeting specific zip codes and carrier routes.

How often do you send the postcards?

We run new campaigns approximately every 4–6 weeks. Past advertisers get first dibs, then we open spots to our waitlist. It’s a reliable rhythm of mailings.

What is the deadline?

The deadline is 2 week prior to mailing. Keep in mind, that without payment for the ad space another business in your industry could come in an take your spot or the card could fill up.

Who designs the ad? How much does that cost?

First, the design of the ad is of no additional cost to you! You can submit a design, color preferences, logo, ad copy or special offer. In fact, we encourage you do so! We will complete the ad in house and submit it to you for approval before being sent to print.

What's your guarantee I will see results?

There isn't one... What we can say is that ALL marketing works! Your ad will be seen by 100% to those mailed due to the medium. Nothing to open, nothing to flip through. It's in front of face marketing with no envelope to open or page to flip to. It's a long-term brand recognition method. We can’t guarantee response rates, but we can guarantee delivery of your ad. It all depends on what you are offering and the timing of the ad. It’s all about a quality offer and consistency. If you are a roofer, one sale will recoup the cost of the ad many time over. If you are a restaurant, it will take more sales to recoup the cost of the advertisement but you have gain a few valuable lifelong customers. What is the value of a lifelong customer? Keep in mind that you should have a compelling offer to get folks to respond and be consistent.

What types of businesses typically see the best results?

Local service providers, retail shops, and restaurants tend to do especially well—though any business with a strong offer to local residents can thrive.

What kind of offers perform best?

Simple, high-value offers work great—think discounts, free consultations, or limited-time specials. We’ll help you craft one that’s compelling to your audience.

Can I track campaign performance?

Of course! We supply a unique trackable qr code and provide you the results at no additional cost. You choose where the qr code takes the person scanning. The destination can be your website, a unique landing page for a specific offer, etc. We can provide a digital coupon for the recipient to download to their Apple or Google wallet to be presented at time of purchase. All included with the price of the ad space!

Can you discount the cost?

We do not discount the cost unless there is a long-term commitment (3 months or longer). The price is very competitive for guaranteed exposure! At the current price, you would be paying a 10th of what it would cost you for an individual mailer.

Will I have competition on the card?

No! You will be the only business in your industry niche. There will only be 1 hair salon, 1 pizza place, 1 plumber, 1 pet groomer, etc. No competitors allowed.
