The Local Ally

A Small Business Alliance

Who we are

Hi! My name is Chelsea, I am Labor & Delivery nurse. So what am I doing here? I know, it seems far fetched. Well, as a nurse, it’s in my nature to help others, and find solutions. So naturally when my dear friend came to me as a new business owner, we worked together to curate a way to help them market to the most amount of people on the little to no budget that they have. Here’s what we came up with. We are counting on YOU to join us in marketing your ad so that we can all share the cost of one of the most effective, long lasting, never going out of style, direct mail postcard. Partnering with other small business owners not only makes advertising affordable and accessible to you, but you get the chance to be the reason someone else succeeds.

Now, I know what you’re thinking, and the answer is no, we will not be promoting your competitors on here. This postcard offers exclusivity to your business niche! We are looking to build community here, not only between other owners, but most importantly with the local residents.

Our Services

Design

Too busy putting out fires to create your own ad? Leave it to me! I will use personalized details that exude from your own website at no extra cost. Want to submit your own photos or already have an ad made? You can do that too! Just email or text it to me.

Print

Printing is time consuming and expensive. Collaborating with other small businesses makes it affordable and easy. Allow me to take this all in one service over for you so you can focus your attention on your clients and customers.

Packing and mailing

Every Door Direct Mailing (EDDM) has many regulations to comply with and can be tedious and confusing. Take out the risk of your postcard getting rejected after all your hard work. Your packing and distribution will all be handled by me. All you need to do is open your doors and be ready for the increased exposure.

Get YOUR ad into the hands of 13,000 locals every month…

“The ad that people won’t keep scrolling past!”

Select routes will be rotated on a monthly basis to ensure you not only have repetition in neighborhoods but that multiple areas can also be reached to expand your radius.

Why EDDM Mailers Instead of Online Ads?

  • Ability to target direct demographics for business needs such as "single family home owners.”

  • Online ads only target people after they trigger the algorithm with their search history. By the time the ad reaches them, it could be too late!

  • These mailers get to people in just the right season before they are looking for services. Plant the seed first!

  • Online ads are invasive! They interrupt your streaming, scrolling and video watching. Anyone watching YouTube is only watching the bottom right corner of the ad that says “3… 2… 1… Skip Ad."

  • People love receiving deals and coupons in the mail!

  • Your Ad won’t get buried in a magazine with dozens of other competing businesses.

  • They are easy to save and are often stuck on the fridge to be remembered. No one is saving a Fb Ad

  • Their response is trackable!

  • Every door direct mail is usually an unaffordable approach, but collaborating with other local businesses makes it only a fraction of the price.

  • Use other local businesses to leverage yours! There will be one ad for everyone on the page. That nearby nail salon may be the reason that your painting business was saved in someone’s household.

  • Did I mention exclusivity? That means if you’re a Real Estate agent, you will be the ONLY agency on this card.
