Every Door Local

9 × 12 oversized

Big enough to get noticed.

An oversized card does not disappear into a stack of envelopes. It sits on top, and it carries enough room for eight businesses to each get a real advertisement rather than a listing.

The format

What the size actually buys you.

It is seen before it is sorted
A 9 × 12 card will not fit in the pile of window envelopes. It gets handled, which is most of the battle.
Room for a real advertisement
Your logo, an offer, a service list, a scannable code and a phone number set large enough to read across a kitchen.
Eight advertisers, not twenty
Four across the top, four below the nameplate. Enough to share the cost, few enough that nobody is lost.
Or take a double spot
Two positions wide, for photography and body copy. A card carries at most two.

Actual size

Nine inches by twelve.

Big enough that it will not slide into the stack of window envelopes. It gets picked up, turned over and put down somewhere — which is most of the battle.

Larger than a sheet of paper
A letter page is 8½ × 11. This is bigger, and it arrives face up rather than folded in an envelope.
It does not stack
Oversized mail sits on top of the pile instead of disappearing into it.
Eight businesses fit comfortably
At this size each advertiser gets a real advertisement — logo, offer, services, a code and a phone number — not a directory line.

See what your customers see

One card. Choose how much of it is yours.

Every campaign runs on the same oversized 9 × 12 card. The only decision you make is whether you take a standard spot or a double.

An Every Door Local 9 by 12 postcard carrying eight local business advertisements around a central nameplate, each with an offer and a phone number, and one position still open marked "your ad here".

Standard spot

Eight businesses, one card.

Four across the top, four below the nameplate. Your logo, your offer, a service list, a scannable code and your phone number set large enough to read from across a kitchen.

  • One position per business category
  • Your own artwork, proofed before it prints
  • The most advertisers per campaign, so the lowest share of cost
An Every Door Local 9 by 12 postcard laid out with a double position: four standard advertisements across the top — roofing, heating and cooling, dental and auto care — then the Every Door Local nameplate, and below it one double-width space marked "your ad goes here", twice the width of the lawn and cleaning advertisements beside it, with room for a headline, a phone number and a scan code.

Double spot

Twice the room. Same mailbox.

A double spot is two positions wide. That is enough space for a real photograph of your work, four lines of what you actually do, and a contact panel that does not have to compete with anything.

  • Room for photography, not just a logo
  • Body copy instead of a one-line offer
  • Limited — a card carries at most two
