Tri Valley Direct Mail Horizontal Logo

The biggest piece of mail your customers get all year

9x12-postcard-example.jpg

One oversized postcard. Up to 18 local businesses. Thousands of homes in your exact service area, with your category exclusively yours.

Online ads chase strangers outside your area. A postcard puts you in front of the neighbor who'll actually call.

Key Features

Only 1 Business Per Category

Lock in your spot so your competitors can’t appear on the same card.

2.5K to 10K Homes Per Drop

Start with 2,500 homes and scale up as you grow.

From 6¢ Per Door

Reach real mailboxes for less than most digital clicks.

Free Ad Design

Send your logo and offer—we handle the layout.

This isn’t a mockup. This is what gets mailed.

SEE IT FOR YOURSELF

Every local business featured on our mailers gets full-color professional print on nearly poster-sized cardstock. Our layout ensures high visibility with exclusive spots that no direct competitor can purchase, giving your brand the ultimate physical presence in your community.

Collage of many shared postcard ads

This is a sample of shared postcards already mailed in towns across the country. While the towns and businesses change, the proven format and massive physical impact remain the same.

The smaller M6 format: six businesses, three per side, for a tighter neighborhood drop.

How It Works

From mailbox to repeat customer, in four steps.

01
Claim your category

One spot per business type. Once your category is taken, your competitors can't get on this card.

02
We design your ad for free

Send your logo and your offer. We build the ad for you at no extra cost, included with every spot.

03
It mails to your route

94550 or 94551, your call. Every household in the zip code gets it. No opt-in, no app, nothing to scroll past.

04
It sits on the counter

Postcards this size don't get thrown out with the junk mail. They stay until someone needs you.

Design is included, always.

You don’t need a designer or a finished ad. Send us your logo and tell us what you want to say, and we’ll build your spot on the card at no extra charge.

You’re not buying a phone call. You’re buying being the only name your neighbors see when they need you.

1

No envelope, no app, no scroll

A postcard this size gets looked at, every time, in every kitchen. Mail has a high open rate, typically 95% of recipients open their mail.

2

It costs less because you’re not alone

Splitting the card multiple ways means professional reach at a fraction of a solo mailer. It sits on your customers' counters, not in the trash, ensuring your message is seen.

3

Your competitor isn’t on it

One spot per category means the dentist next to you on the card isn’t another dentist. We guarantee exposure to every home in your service area, delivering your message to thousands of homes.

A mailbox is a captive audience. A feed is not.

WHY DIRECT MAIL STILL WINS

Scrolling is a reflex. People fly past digital ads before their brain even registers they're being sold to. But reaching into a mailbox is a physical act. When your postcard is oversized, colorful, and high-quality, it demands a moment of undivided attention.

For local service businesses, geography is everything. Shared postcards hit thousands of homes in your exact service area for a fraction of the cost of a digital click that might come from a user three towns away. It's the most efficient way to win your neighborhood.
