Your card lands in the same 7,000 mailboxes every single month — 12 touches across the year

01 / Exclusivity

One trade. Period.

Only one plumber, one realtor, one bakery on the card. When your category is yours, it's actually yours — your direct competitor physically cannot be in the same mailing.

02 / Repetition

Same face, every single month.

Marketing research says it takes 7+ touches before a name sticks. A 6-month commit puts you on the fridge for half a year — by month 3, households already know exactly who you are.

03 / Becoming the default

Be the first call.

When their sink leaks at 9pm, they don't Google. They open the drawer. Own the mailbox long enough and you're not "a" plumber — you're the plumber.

Why direct mail, why now

FAQ

Common questions.

Why a monthly mailing? +

Repetition is the whole point. Marketing research says it takes 7+ exposures before brand recognition sticks. A monthly card in the same 7,000 mailboxes gets you there in about 6 months — and means by the time their pipe bursts at 9pm, you're the name they reach for. One-off mail almost never works; we sell the compounding effect, not the single drop.

Can I just try one month before I commit? +

You can — single-month pricing is right there ($445 regular / $795 premium). But direct mail compounds: most advertisers don't see strong ROI until month 2 or 3, when households start recognizing your brand. That's why we discount 3-month and 6-month commitments by 10–15%. If you upgrade to a commitment within 30 days of your trial, we'll credit the difference toward your next month.

What if my competitor calls before I do? +

Categories are first-come, first-served and locked once paid. If you're renewing, you get right of first refusal at every renewal — your spot is never opened up to a competitor without giving you a chance to keep it.

Do I have to design my own spot? +

No. Send your logo, an offer, and (if you have one) a photo. We design the panel and send a proof for approval. Premium tier includes a full concierge if you don't even have decent photos yet.

How is the QR tracked? +

Your QR routes through a tracked short link before forwarding to your destination (your site, a coupon page, a phone tap-to-call). You see scan counts, day-of-week, and rough region. We send you a one-page report after each month's mailing.

Where exactly does it mail? +

7,000 residential addresses across Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Beech Mountain, Foscoe, and Valle Crucis. We pick USPS routes that skew toward owner-occupied homes and try to minimize apartment complexes and student housing — but with Every Door Direct Mail we can't guarantee zero overlap with rentals.

When's the deadline for the next issue? +

Creative is locked the 15th of each month. Cards drop into USPS the last week. If you reserve before the 10th, we'll have a proof to you within 48 hours.
