Set it up once. It runs every week.
The week, in order
- Step 01
Public records are read, every day
Business tax certificates and licences, health and liquor permits, building permits and state business filings, from county, city and state publishers. What each kind of record tells you is its own page, with the numbers from our own ingest log on it. - Step 02
Each record is confirmed at a street address
A record is paperwork until it has a door. Every candidate is checked against a live listing at a real commercial street address before it can be mailed, and a record that does not confirm stays off your list rather than going out as a guess. - Step 03
The ones you cannot mail are removed
A registered agent's office, a home address, an apartment, a mailbox at a pack-and-ship, a vending route at somebody else's site, a branch of a national brand, a permit type that is not a business at an address. Each has its own rule, and the table below says how each one reads. - Step 04
What is left is matched to what you sell
Your trade comes with a default set of business types and you can edit it. Matching starts from your own city at the radius on your account and widens fifteen miles at a time, up to 80 miles, until you have at least 15 matches in the month. A business that sells what you sell is kept off your list by its industry code. - Step 05
Your card is written and designed for your trade
Your logo, your photo, one headline, one offer with a date on it, your first name, your return address and a tracking number. You approve it once. Change the offer whenever you like and the new version goes out with the next batch. - Step 06
Cards print and mail the week they open
6x9, both sides, first class, addressed to the business by name with a line written to that business. An address the printer cannot verify is held before it prints instead of being mailed and written off, and that card is not billed. - Step 07
Their call rings your phone
The number on the card forwards to your real phone. Every call and text is logged against the card that earned it. Audio is not recorded unless you switch recording on in Settings, and when it is on the caller hears a short notice first. The QR code opens a page built for that business, with your offer, your number and a two-field quote form. - Step 08
A report arrives once a week
What mailed, what was delivered, who called, who scanned, and what it cost. The same figures are in your dashboard the moment they happen.
What gets removed, and why
| The rule | What it removes | Rows dropped |
|---|---|---|
| junk | Not a storefront: a permit type or name that is not a business at an address | 328 |
| home | A home address, an apartment or a mailbox | 97 |
| out of area | Outside the area its feed covers | 116 |
| chain | A branch of a national brand | 107 |
| person | Registered under a person's own name, with no trading name | 39 |
| route | A vending or contract route at somebody else's site | 22 |
| institution | A hotel, hospital, campus or shipping counter | 20 |
Chains are the one that is a setting rather than a rule: a franchise owner does buy hood cleaning, pest control and fire service locally, so branches of national brands are off by default and can be switched on. The records page shows how many rows each rule has removed so far.
How often one business hears from you
| Plan | Cards | Mails on | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 5 | day 0, day 7, day 21, day 49, day 84 | The default. Five cards over about three months. |
| Heavy | 8 | day 0, day 7, day 14, day 21, day 35, day 49, day 63, day 77 | Eight cards, weekly for a month then every two weeks. |
| Light | 2 | day 0, day 28 | Two cards, a month apart. |
| One card | 1 | day 0 | The week they open, and nothing after it. |
Every card after the first is a card at $2.49 and counts toward the monthly cap you set. The plan is one setting and you can change it at any time.
What you can steer
A weekly review window
Switch it on and a batch waits before it mails so you can skip specific businesses. Switch it off and the batch goes.
Which types you want
Your trade arrives with a default set of business types. Add the ones you want, remove the ones you do not.
A monthly cap
Set the most cards you want mailed in a month. Matching keeps going; mailing stops at the cap.
The offer on the card
Pick one from your trade's list or write your own. Swap it for a seasonal one whenever you like.
What needs you
- Approve your card. Upload a logo and a photo, pick an offer, confirm the phone the tracking number should ring, and say yes. That is the list.
Everything else — reading the records, confirming addresses, grading, matching, writing the line to each business, design, printing, postage, follow-ups, the call log, the weekly report and the billing — runs without a person on our side. That is also why there is no claim on this site that anyone reviews your cards before they go out.
