Here’s what actually lands on the counter.

Nine inches by twelve. Too big to lose in a stack of mail, with nothing to open and nothing to unfold. Your slot is designed, printed and mailed for you. All you send us is a logo, a phone number and an offer.

Why a card, not an envelope

Coupon envelopes get thrown away. A 9×12 card gets read.

1

No envelope to throw out

Most coupon packs go from the mailbox to the trash unopened. Our card has nothing to open — it's physically in their hands on the walk back from the mailbox.

2

Twelve businesses, not fifty

In a coupon envelope you're one of dozens. Here you're one of twelve, in an ad big enough to actually read, with no competitor in your category.

Only the best routes

We pull every USPS carrier route in the area, rank them by household income, and mail the top of the list. Not every address in the county — the top of it.

Where it lands

Nine routes. Every one of them a six-figure neighborhood.

We rank all thirty-three USPS carrier routes in ZIP 28562 by median household income and mail only the top nine. The twenty-four we skip hold 16,023 homes and average $78,003 — that gap is the whole product.

Talk to us

Every slot includes a tracked phone number and landing page. You'll know how many calls the card produced — not a guess, a count.

Why we push the 3-drop package: one mailing is a test that almost always disappoints. People need to see you two or three times before they call. Three drops is the smallest number that tells you anything real — so we made it cheaper.

✓ Works well for

  • Home services — HVAC, roofing, windows, remodeling, pools
  • Lawn care, pest control, cleaning — anything recurring
  • Dental, orthodontics, med spa, hearing, vision
  • Financial advisors, estate attorneys, insurance
  • Custom builders, real estate, marine

✗ Not a fit for

  • Restaurants, pizza, coffee shops
  • Salons, nail salons, barbers
  • Dry cleaners, florists, convenience retail

Your average sale is too small for a $595 slot to pay off, and we'd rather tell you that now than take your money and watch it not work.

How it works

Ten minutes of your time. That's the whole commitment.

  1. 1

    Reserve your category

    Pick an open slot on the current card and put your name on it. Your category locks immediately — no one else in your line of work can buy onto that card.

  2. 2

    Fill out one short form

    Your logo, your phone, and what you want to offer. If you're not sure what to offer, we'll draft three options and you pick one. Ten minutes.

  3. 3

    We design your ad and send a proof

    You get a link, you click approve or ask for a change. No files to wrangle, no back-and-forth email chains.

  4. 4

    The card prints and mails

    We handle printing, USPS route bundling, and the post office drop. You do nothing. It lands in thousands of mailboxes on the date we told you.

  5. 5

    You get a results report

    The day after delivery: how many calls came in, from how many different numbers, how long they lasted. Then you decide about next month with actual data.

The math

What it costs to reach one mailbox.

Move the slider. Watch the number on the left refuse to budge. That is the part of direct mail nobody explains before they invoice you.

Cost per mailbox

$0.58

Postage at $0.26 a piece, plus an estimated $0.32 for print and route bundling. Design is not in this number and you would be paying for that too, so the real figure is worse than the one shown.

One slot on the card

Homes reached4,628
Cost per drop$550

Cost per mailbox

$0.12

On the $1,650 three-drop package. You are one of 12 businesses on the paper, and that is the entire reason this reads $0.12 instead of $0.58.

Volume never helps you. Every extra home costs the same as the first one, which is why mailing more of the county makes the problem bigger rather than cheaper. The only thing that moves the per-mailbox number is splitting the paper 12 ways.

Now the part most people selling you mail leave out.

Cheap per mailbox is not the same as worth doing. It only works if one new customer is worth more than the mailing that found them.

$

Two honest limits on the arithmetic above. It uses revenue, not profit, so if your margin on that job is thin you should read yourself one tier down. And nothing here predicts how many calls a mailing produces, because nobody can tell you that, and anyone who offers to is guessing at your expense.
