Start with your service area, your business category, and a useful offer. The interactive planner helps you shape a starting plan.
Make the offer easy to act on
A clear headline, a reason to respond, and one simple next step. The shared package includes basic ad design and offer help, one revision, and written proof approval.
Review the details together
Before a purchase, review the routes, household count, final price, scope, refund terms, and schedule. Nothing prints without artwork approval.
WHO SHOULD SEE YOUR OFFER?
Start where your customers live.
Initial co-op interest is for Salinas, Castroville, and nearby Monterey County neighborhoods. Exact routes are unconfirmed. Each shared card serves its selected local routes, not the whole state. Dedicated single-business EDDM can be quoted throughout California.
EDDM uses selected carrier routes rather than a list of named customers. Exact routes and current residential counts must be reviewed before a mailing is confirmed.
Plan my mailingBEFORE YOU DECIDE
Good questions. Clear answers.
What is a co-op postcard?
Local businesses share one oversized postcard and the printing and mailing costs. Our proposed 9 × 12 card has 16 equal ad slots total: eight on the front and eight on the back.
Will a competitor be on my card?
The shared-card plan allows one advertiser per defined industry per card, subject to review of overlapping services. Category fit is confirmed before any placement. Starting a plan does not hold a category.
Are the prices final?
$499 for approximately 5,000 homes and $799 for approximately 10,000 homes are indicative planning prices per advertiser for one shared mailing. Final routes, household counts, inclusions, fees, and total cost must be confirmed in writing. Dedicated EDDM is quoted separately.
What is included in the shared package?
Basic ad design and offer help, one revision, written proof approval, one advertiser per defined industry subject to overlap review, a static QR link or offer code, a reusable approved digital ad, a route summary, and actual mailing-acceptance evidence after mailing. Your written agreement confirms the scope before purchase. A static QR link does not include automatic scan analytics.
When would the holiday mailing happen?
Mid-November 2026 is a planning target only. It depends on sufficient funding, approved artwork, vendor capacity, and the postal schedule. Arrival dates, response, and sales are not guaranteed.
Am I reserving a spot or paying today?
No. This is a nonbinding interest page. The planner does not reserve a slot, create a contract, or collect payment. No purchase opens until costs and refund terms are approved. If you later purchase, full payment is required upfront; there are no deposits.
What if the shared mailing cannot go ahead?
The written cancellation and refund terms must be approved and shared before any purchase. We are gathering interest now; we are not collecting funds or promising a launch date.
Can I have a postcard just for my business?
Yes, ask for a dedicated EDDM plan anywhere in California. Your business has its own postcard on selected carrier routes. The individual quote uses actual household count, printing, postage, design, preparation, and fees; shared-card prices do not apply.
