A Community-Powered
Local PopCard,
Delivered
to Every Mailbox.

We've spent decades deploying direct mail campaigns across every industry — restaurants, dental, HVAC, auto, legal, fitness, you name it. We know what gets opened, what gets kept, and what ends up in the trash. LocalPopCards are the answer.

The problem? A standalone plastic mailer costs $5,000+ per drop — and you need multiple drops per year to build real awareness. That math doesn't work for most local businesses. So we built LocalPopCard to change that — 10 businesses share one premium campaign, splitting the cost while keeping the full impact. Now you can afford to show up in mailboxes consistently, not just once.

This is the format that works. Now every local business can compete.

The Product

The LocalPopCard Changes Everything

10 local businesses share one premium direct mail campaign — each one has their own die-cut ad space that pops right out. Consumers slip it in their wallet and carry YOUR offer with them until they're ready to use it.

Each pop-out is 2" × 3.375" on the front and back — 4" × 3.375" of total ad real estate per business. That's the size of a business card, credit card, gift card, and Facebook ad impression rolled into one tangible piece of plastic.

Hover over each pop-out to see it in action

LocalPopCard Mailer — Front

Paper mailers? What is someone supposed to do — rip out the coupon?
Cut it with scissors? That's never happening.

10 Businesses.
One Campaign.

A multi-business mailer that splits the cost — not the impact. Every business receives category exclusivity.

4" × 3.375" Ad Real Estate

Front and back space on every pop-out. Your logo, offer, QR code, and branding — all yours. 13.5 sq in total.

Wallet & Purse Ready

Credit card size fits right in. Your brand lives in their wallet for weeks — not in the trash on day one.

QR Code Tracking

Each card has a unique QR code linking straight to your phone number, email, website, booking page, menu, or wherever you want. Every scan is tracked.

The Difference

Paper Postcards
vs.
Plastic Laminated Cards

This isn't a fair fight.

Traditional 9×12 Paper Format

Standard 9×12 Paper Co-Op

Flimsy 14pt cardstock with UV gloss — looks like every other "Spotlight" mailer in the mailbox
16–20 businesses crammed on one card — different ads front vs back, split attention everywhere — looks like a circus
No pop-out, no tear-off — what is someone supposed to do, rip out the coupon? Cut it with scissors?
1–2% response rate — most go straight to the trash on delivery day
Shared front and back between different businesses — you don't even own your own space
Zero shelf life — it's paper. It bends, tears, gets wet, and gets tossed with the junk mail
Same format everyone else uses — nothing to differentiate your business from the stack of junk mail
WINNER
