FAQ
Questions we get asked.
What is My Community Mail?
We are a local direct-mail advertising company. Instead of one business paying for an entire mailer, eight non-competing local businesses share one professionally designed piece that gets delivered to homes in a specific community.
How many homes will receive my advertisement?
Each mail drop reaches between 5,000 and 10,000 homes depending on the communities included. Every scheduled drop lists its exact household count before you reserve.
How many businesses are included?
Eight, and never more. Two premium placements on the front and six tear-off coupons on the back. Keeping the count low is what keeps your ad from getting lost.
Can competing businesses appear on the same mailer?
No. We hold one business per category per mailer. If a dental clinic has taken the dental spot on a drop, no other dental clinic can buy onto that same mailer. Your category is exclusive.
What do I need to provide?
Your logo as a PNG, the offer you want to run, and your business contact details. That is genuinely all.
Can you design my advertisement for me?
Yes, and it is included free with every spot. Tell us the offer you want to promote and we will design the ad, then send you a proof to approve before anything is printed.
How are the mailers distributed?
They are delivered directly to homes in the neighbourhoods covered by the drop you selected. We handle printing and distribution end to end.
Can I choose which community I advertise in?
You choose which scheduled mail drop to join, and each drop lists exactly which neighbourhoods it covers. If we have not scheduled a drop where you want to advertise, tell us and we will let you know when one opens.
How much does advertising cost?
It depends on the placement and the size of the drop. A shared mailer costs a fraction of running a solo campaign to the same homes. Ask us for current availability and pricing in your community.
How often are mailers sent?
Each community gets its own schedule. Get in touch and we will tell you the next drop date for the neighbourhoods you care about.
How do I reserve a premium spot?
There are only two premium front placements per mailer and they go first. Request availability and we will confirm whether the premium spots on your target drop are still open.
