Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 9x12 postcard advertisement?

A 9x12 postcard is a large-format direct mail piece that features multiple businesses on a single card. Each business has a dedicated section for their advertisement, making it cost-effective and highly visible.

How does co-op advertising work?

Co-op advertising splits the costs among multiple businesses sharing the postcard. This allows each business to gain exposure at a fraction of the cost of sending their own mailer.

Who receives the postcards?

The postcards are sent to a targeted mailing list, usually based on demographics, income, or geographic area. This ensures your ad reaches potential customers in your local market.

How much does it cost to participate?

Costs vary based on the size of your ad and the distribution area, but participating in a co-op postcard is generally 70-90% cheaper than mailing solo.

What kind of businesses participate in co-op postcards?

A wide variety of businesses join, including restaurants, real estate agents, service providers, retail stores, and more. It's ideal for businesses targeting local customers.

How is my business promoted on the postcard?

You’ll have a dedicated space with your logo, message, offer, and contact details. We can design it for you to ensure it stands out.

Can I include coupons or special offers?

Yes! Coupons and offers are highly encouraged as they increase response rates and customer engagement.

How many households will receive the postcard?

Typically, the postcard is mailed to around 10,000 households, depending on your chosen distribution area.

What is the expected response rate?

Response rates for direct mail vary but generally range from 1-5%. Including a strong offer or coupon can increase this significantly.

How do I know the postcards are actually sent out?

You’ll receive a copy of the mailing receipt and/or a sample of the postcard. You can also provide a list of customers to verify delivery.

How long does it take to get started?

Once all ads are confirmed, it typically takes 2-3 weeks to design, print, and mail the postcards.

 

Can I approve my ad before printing?

Absolutely! You’ll receive a proof of your ad to review and approve before it’s finalized.

Can I customize my ad?

Yes! You can provide your own design or let our team create a custom ad tailored to your brand and offer.

What makes a 9x12 postcard better than other advertising?

It combines affordability, wide reach, and tangible impact. Postcards are hard to ignore when they’re in the hands of potential customers.

Will my ad be placed near competitors?

No, we ensure businesses on the card are complementary, not direct competitors, to maximize value for everyone involved.

Is there a long-term commitment?

No. Each mailing is a one-time investment, though many businesses choose to participate regularly for consistent exposure.

How do I track the success of my ad?

You can include a unique coupon code, QR code, or trackable phone number to measure responses directly.

Is this method better than digital ads?

Direct mail has a 90% open rate compared to digital ads, which are often ignored or blocked. The best results often come from combining both.

How do I reserve my space?

Simply contact us with your business details, and we’ll guide you through selecting your ad size, designing your ad, and confirming your space.
