The 9×12 card
Front and back of a finished card — eleven businesses across sixteen spaces, on 14pt cardstock with a UV gloss finish. Every ad shown is an illustration.
Ad sizes & pricing
Each example is shown at the size it prints. All three are on the same card, going to the same 4,968 homes.
Single
$495 · single run
Room for a logo, one clear offer, a phone number and a coupon. The size most trades and restaurants start with.
Book consecutive mailings and get $50 off every run after the first.
Double
$850 · single run
Best value
Two Singles side by side. Enough width for an offer and the proof behind it — a menu, a before-and-after, a list of services.
Book consecutive mailings and get $100 off every run after the first.
Quad
$1,400 · single run
The largest placement on the card — a quarter of one side. Photographs, a full service list and a real offer. Two per card, one each side.
Book consecutive mailings and get $150 off every run after the first.
Prices are per mailing to the 4,968 homes on the open Palm Harbor card. Per-home cost on a smaller campaign card is higher — the open campaign page always shows the actual home count for that card.
Where the money goes
Most advertising is sold without ever showing you the cost base. Here's ours for the 4,968-piece Palm Harbor card, at published rates you can check with USPS and any commercial printer.
| Line item | Cost | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Printing — 9×12, 14pt, full colour both sides | $985 | Posted trade pricing at 5,000 |
| USPS EDDM postage @ $0.26 × 4,968 | $1,292 | USPS published rate, July 2026 |
| Bundling, facing slips, USPS paperwork, drop | included | Our labour |
| Design, proofs and revisions for every advertiser | included | Our labour |
| Cost to put one card in 4,968 mailboxes | $2,277 | Split sixteen ways |
That's why a Single is $495 and not $49. It's also why mailing your own 9×12 card costs about 42 cents a household — you'd be carrying that whole $4,083 yourself.
Terms, plainly
Full payment when you claim your space, by card or bank transfer. It funds the print run, and it's the only way to hold a category against everyone else asking for it.
If the card doesn't fill and we cancel it, you get everything back. We'd rather refund sixteen people than mail a half-empty card with your name on it.
One mailing at a time. The consecutive-run discount rewards you for coming back — it doesn't lock you in. Nothing renews on its own.
You sign off your own space in writing. Nothing goes to press until every advertiser has approved their proof.
Put a dedicated phone number, a promo code or a distinct landing page on your space. It costs nothing and turns “I think it worked” into a number. The advertisers who track are the ones who know whether to come back.
One business per category, first come first served. Tell us what you do and we'll send the mockup with the open spaces marked.
