No. One business per category on every card, no exceptions, no matter the check size. A community card holds up to sixteen spaces and an Elite card holds six, and every one of them is a different category. The first business to lock a category keeps it.
No. You pay per print run and decide each cycle. Most advertisers stay on because the card works, not because they are locked in. Current advertisers can lock their category for a full year if they want it protected.
We do, at no extra charge. Send your logo, your offer and a photo or two, and we build the ad. You approve the proof before anything prints. If you hate it, you walk away at no cost.
Every 6x4 and Elite spot carries a QR code and a redeemable offer, so you see scans and redemptions for your spot. Restaurants and retail scan high. Roofers and real estate scan low and close big. We set that expectation up front so the numbers make sense.
If your category is open, we hold it for two days while you look at the sample card and decide. No payment needed to hold. It just means nobody else can grab your category in the meantime.
Community cards mail every other month. Elite cards run on their own schedule. The Plainfield Welcome Card mails in June, July and August to new homeowners only. Every card has a real print lock date, and we tell you what it is before you commit.
Yes. Current advertisers can lock their category for a full year, which means no competitor can take the spot and you stop thinking about print deadlines. Ask about it when you renew.
