Mankato's Own Neighborhood Mailer
One oversized 9x12 postcard. Delivered straight to 5,000 local mailboxes - reaching over 12,500 residents across Mankato, North Mankato, and surrounding neighborhoods.
Every month, we put your business in front of thousands of nearby customers on a shared community card. No high-priced ad agencies, no wasted budget — just your neighbors, seeing your brand first.
Only 16 spots per issue. Only one business per category. Once that spot is claimed, your competitors have to wait until the next card.

How booking works
How does shared direct mail advertising work?
Local businesses split the cost of one big 9x12 postcard mailed to every home in the coverage area. Instead of paying thousands for your own mailer, you get a single spot on a card shared with 15 other local businesses — same reach, a fraction of the cost.
How many homes will see my ad?
This month's mailer reaches over 5,000 homes across Mankato and North Mankato — an estimated 12,500+ residents.
Can I design my own ad?
Yes. We'll design your spot for free using your logo, offer, and contact info — or if you already have your own design ready to go, you're welcome to submit it instead.
How often are postcards mailed?
Mailers go out monthly. Advertisers can renew their same spot each month or take a break and rejoin later, space permitting.
What kind of businesses advertise?
All kinds — home services, restaurants, real estate, insurance, retail, and more. Each spot is reserved for one business per industry, so you're never sharing the card with a direct competitor.
Is there a contract?
No. It's month-to-month — no long-term commitment required.
How are payments handled?
We issue secure invoices directly via PayPal. Because ad spots are strictly limited and industry-exclusive, payment is required upfront to lock in your reservation and initiate the ad design and printing process. Once paid, we'll design your ad proof for free and send it to you for final sign-off before we hit print.
