The Local Vibe: about 5,000 addresses per edition, one business per industry
The Local Vibe is a premium 9x12 community card mailed free to local households via USPS. A market opens in New York or New Jersey wherever a founding sponsor steps up; we went first, and Founding Market No. 1 is founded on Staten Island. About 5,000 addresses per edition, sixteen ad slots per card, and exactly one business per industry. First drop targeted for Q4 2026.
A 9x12 flat is one of the biggest things in the mailbox that day. It does not fold into the junk pile.

Proof, documented
Every drop gets documented with USPS mailing paperwork and receipts: the routes, the piece counts, the postage paid. After your card mails, ask and I will show you the paperwork for its drop. Every ad also carries a scannable QR code that sends readers straight to your site.

For scale: mailing your own 9x12 to the same 5,000 addresses runs roughly $3,000 or more all-in (USPS postage plus printing, before design and labor). A slot here is a fraction of that check for the same mailboxes, because sixteen businesses share the card. The full math, sources included, is at Advertise on Staten Island.

The guarantee
Full refund any time before the print deadline, no questions asked. And if we ever fail to mail your card, the refund is automatic. The exact terms are in writing in our terms.
Deadlines: each card sells until it fills or hits its print deadline, whichever comes first. Current status is always on the card page. And 9% of each card's gross revenue goes to that card's named charity partner, printed right on the card.
