Shared 9 × 12 mailer · Weber County, Utah
Land in 10,000 mailboxes for $300
One 9 by 12 postcard, sixteen local businesses, both sides in full color. You buy a single spot, put a real offer on it, and the card goes out to every address on the routes we select. One business per category, so a competitor is never printed beside you.
See your ad
Put in your website and we will draft something for you to look at.
Add an offer below. Websites almost never list one, and the offer is what gets someone to keep the card instead of tossing it.
This is a first draft put together from your website, meant to show you how the space works. Nothing here is final. We rework the wording, swap the photo, and match your brand with you before anything goes to print, and you approve the artwork first.
Only one business per category runs on a card, so a trade is closed for the whole card once it is taken.

Why a spot costs this little
Sixteen businesses carry a mailer none of them would send alone
Design, printing, postage and the carrier routes cost close to the same whether one business is on a 9 by 12 card or sixteen are. Splitting that bill is what turns direct mail from a project most small businesses skip into a line item you can approve in an afternoon.
The size of the card is the other half of it. A 9 by 12 does not get sorted into a stack of envelopes. It gets carried into the house on top of the mail, and your offer is on it.
No competitors on your card
One business per category. Every trade we sell is closed once it is claimed for that mailing.
What we need from you
Four things, and we build the ad
Your logo
A PNG or a vector file, as large as you have it.
The offer
A sentence or two is plenty. We tighten the wording.
Phone, site, towns
These go in every ad regardless of size.
Any photo
Print resolution, if you have one you like.

Questions
Before you reserve
Which homes get the card
Every address on the carrier routes we select inside Weber County, rather than a purchased list. We pick routes near the businesses printed on the card.
Which households get the card
Carrier routes across the towns in Weber County, including Ogden, North Ogden, South Ogden, Roy. Tell us which towns matter most for your business and we weigh that when we pick routes.
Can I be the only business in my trade
Yes. Categories are exclusive and go in the order they are claimed. Once a category is taken it is closed for that mailing.
How does payment work
You reserve a spot here at no cost. We confirm your category is open, then send an invoice you can pay by card or bank transfer. Payment is due before we start designing.
Do I need artwork ready to go
No. Send your logo and your offer, we design the ad, then send a proof for your approval.
Which size should I buy
Buy large when you want the card to lead with you and you have photos worth showing. Buy small when the offer is simple and you mainly need the phone to ring.
How many spots are still open
Email us and we will tell you how many spots and which categories are still available for the next card.
