Advertise on the Spotlight card

Get in 5,000 Valley Mailboxes Without Paying for the Whole Mailer.

Your ad shares one big postcard with other local businesses, one per category. Everyone splits the printing and postage, so your spot is $300 with the design done for you.

No payment to hold a spot. One business per category, so your competitor can’t share your card.

Why a postcard

People scroll past ads all day. They pick up their mail.

It lands in their hand

A big, bright card sits on the kitchen counter for days. A social ad is gone in half a second.

You pay a slice, not the whole thing

Mailing 5,000 cards on your own runs into the thousands. On a shared card you pay $300 for your spot.

No competitor next to you

One business per category means the homeowner sees one plumber, one pool service, one dentist. You.

Questions

Questions owners ask before they book

How big is my ad?

Each spot is 2.7 by 2.5 inches on an oversized 11 by 6 inch postcard. That is big enough for your logo, your offer, your phone number and a QR code.

Who gets the card?

About 5,000 households on the route you pick, delivered by the U.S. Postal Service. Every home on the route gets one, not a rented list.

Can my competitor be on the same card?

No. We take one business per category per card. If you are the plumber on the El Paseo card, you are the only plumber on it.

I don’t have an ad. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Design is included. Send us your logo, your offer and your phone number, we lay it out, and you approve it before anything prints.

What does the $300 cover?

Your spot, the ad design, printing and postage. There is no setup fee and no contract to sign. You also get a free Premium listing on this site while your ad runs, and Premium members get $25 off every spot.

When does it mail, and how do I pay?

We give you the mailing date when you reserve. We send an invoice, and your spot is locked in once it is paid.
