What is the Local Bites 9x12 postcard?
A big, glossy 9x12 postcard that your neighbors can’t ignore.
Our 9x12 postcard is a large-format, double-sided mailer that features a curated set of local businesses on one premium card. Instead of paying for a solo postcard, you share the space—and the cost—with other non-competing advertisers.
We use USPS Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) to deliver your offer to every residential mailbox in your chosen carrier routes—no lists to buy, no addresses to manage. Just pure, hyper-local reach at a fraction of the usual cost.
- Oversized 9x12 postcard stands out in the mail stack
- Shared mailer = lower cost per home reached
- Hyper-local targeting by neighborhood or zone
- Perfect for restaurants, salons, auto shops, home services, and more

9x12 EDDM questions, answered.
If you’ve never used EDDM or 9x12 postcard advertising before, you’re in the right place. Here’s what local owners ask us most often.
Still not sure if it’s a fit? Start with a quick consultation and we’ll map out the numbers for your area before you commit.
How does USPS EDDM work and do I need my own mailing list?
With Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM), we target USPS carrier routes instead of individual addresses. That means you don’t need to buy or maintain a mailing list. We select routes around your business based on your goals, then every residential mailbox on those routes receives the postcard.
What is the minimum commitment for a subscription?
Most businesses start with a 3-month commitment so we can run multiple drops, refine your offer, and build repetition in your market. After your initial term, you can continue month-to-month or scale up/down zones based on results and availability.
How long does the design and approval process take?
Once you complete your onboarding questionnaire and send brand assets, our designers typically deliver your first concept within 3–5 business days. You’ll then have time for revisions. We clearly communicate artwork deadlines for each upcoming mailer.
Can I use my own designer or existing artwork?
Yes. If you already have print-ready artwork that fits our specs, we’ll review it for quality and compliance, then place it on the card. If your files need adjustments, our team can handle them or create a fresh concept for you.
How do I track results from my postcard ad?
We encourage using unique coupon codes, dedicated phone numbers, QR codes, or landing pages on your ad. We’ll help you choose the right tracking method for your offer so you can clearly see redemptions and response.
What areas do you serve?
Coverage varies by market. On your consultation call, we’ll review your business address, available carrier routes, and which zones are currently open for your category. If your immediate routes are full, we can often waitlist you for the next opening.
