How the placement works
One board. One host. Six protected local categories.
Doorstep Mail coordinates the venue, board, creative, category protection, QR response paths, and advertiser communication.
You claim your category
Only one participating business from each direct category appears on a specific board.
We build the placement
Your offer, brand, call to action, and trackable QR path are designed to work at the board's real viewing size.
The board goes to work
The host uses the main writing area while your permanent placement stays visible during the agreed campaign term.
Two intentionally simple options
Built around the venue—not forced into it.
The host chooses the format that fits the space. Frame finish and exact dimensions are confirmed for each location before production.
01
Wall-Mount Board
A clean, space-saving board installed securely at a participating venue—ideal near host stands, counters, waiting areas, and service lobbies.
02
A-Frame Board
A portable, high-visibility format for entrances, patios, sidewalks, lobbies, and other strong foot-traffic positions.
Concept mockups shown. Final board size, frame, finish, advertiser dimensions, and placement may vary by venue and approved supplier.
Board pricing
A full year of local visibility for $600.
Choose a qualifying wall-mount or A-frame host location. Your category-exclusive ad remains active on that board for 12 months.
Quarterly EDDM placement is $600 per campaign and includes the standard approximately 2.8×3.8-inch ad size on one 12×9 postcard. Additional quarterly campaigns are $600 each. Applicable tax is added separately where required.
For local advertisers
Stay visible between the moment they notice you and the moment they need you.
Every placement is designed around one useful offer and one easy next action. Your ad does not rotate away, disappear after a swipe, or share its board with a direct competitor.
- Category protection on the selected board
- Professional ad design sized for real-world viewing
- Trackable QR, URL, phone, or offer-code response path
- Location and campaign term confirmed before payment
- Available response signals reported without inflated claims
Your business gets its own complete ad.Clear offer. Clear category. Clear action. No competing business from the same protected category on that board.
For host locations
A branded board your team can actually use.
Qualified host venues receive a custom-branded dry-erase board built around their daily specials, announcements, services, events, or guest information. Doorstep Mail handles advertiser coordination so the venue is not turned into an unpaid ad-sales department.

Before anybody puts a QR code near the daily special.
Can my direct competitor appear on the same board?
No. Once your category is reserved under the written category definition, another direct competitor does not share that board.
Where will my advertisement appear?
Along the permanent advertiser panel at the bottom of a named host location's board. The location, board style, campaign term, and expected placement are confirmed before payment.
Will the QR code be trackable?
Yes, when QR is the selected response path. We test the production code at its intended size and report the available scan signals. Scans do not by themselves prove calls, appointments, or sales.
Do you guarantee leads or sales?
No honest advertising company can guarantee customer behavior. We guarantee the specific placement, creative, category protection, tracking setup, and coordination written into the agreement.
What does a host venue need to do?
Approve the design and placement, use the board appropriately, keep it accessible and presentable, and tell us promptly if it is moved, damaged, or removed.
