A Smarter Way to Advertise Locally
A traditional direct-mail campaign can be expensive for one business to produce alone. The Local Advantage Ads Oversized Community Card lets up to 16 local businesses share the printing and mailing costs while maintaining their own clearly defined ad space.
You get exposure across selected local neighborhoods for as little as $300 per campaign—and your price includes professional ad design, printing, and mailing.
Going it alone
The community card
Why Advertise on the Community Card?
Your ad is mailed to 5,000 households on selected USPS Every Door Direct Mail routes in local ZIP codes. Route selection generally focuses on medium- to high-income neighborhoods near the businesses being promoted.
Participating businesses share the cost of producing and mailing one oversized postcard. This gives you access to a broad local mailing without paying for the entire campaign yourself.
Your price includes your ad spot, professional ad design, printing, and mailing. Send us your logo, business information, and offer, and we’ll prepare an ad for your review.
Only one advertiser per business category is accepted for each individual postcard campaign. Once your category is reserved, another business in that category will not be placed on the same card.
Promote a coupon, free estimate, introductory deal, limited-time special, or another trackable offer. A clear promotion can help customers understand what to do next and help you evaluate the response.
At 9×12 inches, the community card provides more visual presence than a standard-size postcard. Your dedicated ad space helps your brand and offer remain clear within the shared format.

Questions, Answered Plainly
It is an oversized direct-mail postcard featuring ads from up to 16 local businesses. By sharing the campaign costs, each advertiser can reach 5,000 local households without paying the full printing and postage expense alone.
Each campaign is mailed to addresses on selected USPS Every Door Direct Mail routes in local ZIP codes. Route selection generally focuses on medium- to high-income neighborhoods. Specific household demographics and individual recipients are not guaranteed.
Only one advertiser per business category is accepted for each individual postcard campaign. Once your category is reserved, another business in that same category will not be included on that card.
You may request your preferred placement, subject to availability. Specific positions cannot be guaranteed until they are confirmed, and reserved placements are no longer available to other advertisers.
No. Professional ad design is included in your price and is recommended to help ensure your ad is clear, polished, and ready for printing.
If you prefer to provide your own design, we can supply the required dimensions and specifications. Whether we create the ad or you provide it, you will receive a proof and may request revisions before final approval.
Printing and mailing begin after all campaign spots have been reserved, all invoices have been paid, and the ads are approved. The typical printing, processing, and delivery period is approximately 2–3 weeks from that point.
Actual timing may vary because of printing schedules, holidays, USPS processing, or other circumstances outside our control. Delivery dates are not guaranteed.
Results vary from campaign to campaign. Your offer, ad design, audience, timing, competition, and local market conditions can all affect response.
A clear, relevant, and trackable offer—such as a coupon, introductory deal, free estimate, or special promotion—can give recipients a stronger reason to respond and help you measure interest. No specific number of calls, leads, sales, revenue, or return on investment is guaranteed.
