For advertisers
Local print ads that show you exactly what they bring in.
Your ad goes in a folder that a trusted local business hands to 1,000 of its clients. It carries its own tracking number and QR code, so your dashboard shows every call, missed call and scan.

Why it works
The ad that stays on the kitchen counter.
- Kept, not tossed
- Folders hold papers people need: intake forms, listings, closing documents. They stay on the counter for months.
- Handed over by someone they trust
- Your ad arrives from their doctor, their realtor or their kids' school, not from a mailbox.
- No competitors beside you
- One business per category in each folder. If you're the dentist, you're the only dentist.
- Every call and scan tracked
- Your ad carries its own phone number and QR code. Your dashboard shows what it brought in.

Questions
What advertisers ask us.
How many people see my ad?
Each run is 1,000 folders, handed one at a time to the host's clients or patients. Folders get kept and reopened, so your ad is seen again and again.
Can a competitor be in the same folder?
No. Each folder takes one business per category. Once you claim the dentist spot, no other dentist can buy into that folder.
Do I need an ad designed?
No. We design your ad for free from your logo and website. You see a print-accurate proof and approve it, or tell us what to change.
How long is tracking?
90 days from the day the folders are delivered. Calls to your tracking number ring straight through to you, and every call, missed call and scan shows on your dashboard.
Can I renew?
Yes. Before a folder's next run, we send you your results and an easy way to keep your spot.
What does it cost?
Inside top spots are $250, Back cover spots are $500, Pocket spots are $750, per run of 1,000 folders. Design, tracking number, QR code and dashboard are included.
Get started
Only one spot per category.
When a folder opens near you, the first business in each category gets the spot.
