What the price is actually made of
Most advertising is sold without ever showing you the cost base. Here's ours for a 10,000-piece card, at published rates you can verify with USPS and any commercial printer.
| Line item | Cost | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Printing — 9×12, 14pt, full colour both sides | $1,483 | Posted trade pricing at 10,000 |
| USPS EDDM postage @ $0.26 × 10,000 | $2,600 | USPS published rate, July 2026 |
| Bundling, facing slips, USPS paperwork, drop | included | Our labour |
| Design, proofs, revisions for 16 advertisers | included | Our labour |
| Cost to put one card in 10,000 mailboxes | $4,083 | Split 16 ways |
That's why a column space is $350 and not $35. 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
Payment up front
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.
Full refund if it doesn't mail
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.
No contract
One mailing at a time. If it works you buy the next one; if it doesn't, you don't. Nothing renews on its own.
Approve before it prints
You sign off your own space in writing. Nothing goes to press until every advertiser has approved their proof.
Track it, please
Put a dedicated phone number, a promo code or a distinct landing page on your space. It costs nothing and it turns "I think it worked" into a number. We'd genuinely rather you measure it and decide on evidence than re-book on a hunch — the advertisers who track are the ones who stay.
