We had a line out the door on opening day. The postcards went out two weeks before, nothing else. We've done EDDM every quarter since.

Same-Day Delivery Map

From your kitchen to every mailbox. Here's how it works.

1

Pick your neighborhood

Use our interactive route selector. Search by ZIP, see carrier routes on a map. See exactly how many addresses are on each route, and filter by household income to find the right density for your offer.

2

Build your offer

Start from a template built for restaurants, or upload your own design. Our free review checks your offer, layout, and call-to-action. One click confirms. We handle the rest.

3

We print and bundle

Professional CMYK print on 14pt certified gloss stock. We bundle by carrier route, drop off at your local post office, and complete PS Form 3587 so you don't have to.

4

Covers start coming in

USPS delivers to every address on your chosen routes. Expect foot traffic within 3–5 business days of approval. Our agents confirm the mail ran so you know it hit.

Plan for 2–3 weeks before your opening or event: 5-day print + 3–5-day USPS delivery. Most restaurants submit on Monday and hit mailboxes the following week.

Transparent Pricing

What a restaurant campaign costs.

Print price plus USPS postage. That's it. No setup fees, no list fees. Print your target neighborhood. Most restaurants mail 500–2,500 pieces per drop.

  • Free campaign & design review on every order
  • USPS prep, PS Form 3587, and bundling by route
  • Local USPS post office drop-off included
  • 5-day print turnaround from approved file

Postage is always separate and added at checkout. Never baked into the print price.
