Where the card lands

Every home on the carrier routes in 68512 and 68516. That is 5,000 mailboxes, delivered with the regular post rather than in a bundle of coupons.

A curbside mailbox on a residential street at sunset.

You buy a rectangle.

We do the rest: the ad gets designed, printed and delivered by the Post Office to every home on the route. Nobody books a meeting with you or writes you a proposal.

Pick your space and pay
Choose a size on the card above and check out with a card. You pick your business category here, and the payment page asks for two more things: your business name as it should appear on the card, and whether we design the ad or you are sending print-ready artwork. About a minute in all, with no account and no contract. Your space is locked to you the moment it is paid for.
Send your logo and your offer
Reply to your receipt with your logo, the offer you want to run, and the phone number or address that should appear on the card. Whatever logo file you have is a starting point, and if it is too small to print we will tell you. We design the ad and email you a proof, and nothing goes to press until you approve it.
We print it and mail it
The finished card goes to press once the proofs are in, then goes to the Post Office as saturation mail. There is no mailing list to buy or build: every one of the 5,000 addresses on the route gets a copy. If your ad carries a QR code, we tell you how many times it was scanned.

Questions

I don't have an ad or any artwork. Is that a problem?

No. It is the normal case and it costs nothing extra. Send your logo and tell us the offer you want to run, and we design the ad. If you do have print-ready artwork you are welcome to send that instead; tell us which at checkout. The artwork spec has the exact sizes and file requirements.

Do I see the ad before it prints?

Yes. Nothing goes to press without your approval. You get a proof of your ad, and one round of changes is included in the price.

Could a competitor end up on the same card as me?

Not in your category. You pick your category at checkout and it is then closed for this card, so no one selling what you sell can buy onto it.

Which size should I pick?

The small spaces work for a logo, one clear offer and a way to get in touch. Go bigger if you need a photo of the work, several services listed, or you simply want to be the thing people notice first on that side of the card.

Is sales tax added?

Yes, 7.25% at checkout, shown before you pay. Nebraska counts a mailed card as advertising material sold to you, so the tax covers the whole price with the ad design in it. If your business holds a completed Nebraska direct mail exemption certificate, send it to us before you buy rather than paying and asking for it back.

Does it cost less if I take more than one edition?

Yes, and that is the way to use it. One postcard tells you whether this works; people respond to the third one they have seen. Taking 3 editions takes 10% off every edition, 6 editions takes 20% off. Pick how many when you pick your space and pay for it in one go. Your space, and your category, are then yours on every edition in the run.

Can I buy more than one space?

Yes, and call or email us to do it. Checkout closes your category the moment you buy, so it will not sell you a second space by itself. We book it for you, side by side with the first if you want one larger ad.

What if I change my mind?

Cancel any time before the card goes to press and you get all of it back. We tell you the press date in writing. If the card does not mail, for any reason, you are refunded in full. The details are in the terms.

How do I know if it worked?

Put something trackable in your ad: a code to mention, a QR code to its own landing page, or an offer that only exists on this card. We will tell you how many times your QR code was scanned. Nobody can honestly promise you a number of phone calls, and we will not.

Who is behind this?

LNK Local is produced by Visual Crafters, LLC, a small business in Lincoln. You are dealing with the person who designs and sends the card. Call 402-885-9747 and that is who answers.
