Pricing questions

Good to know.

What's included in the price?

Your ad on the card, professional ad design, printing, postage and the USPS paperwork, plus a listing on OrangeCountyScoop.com with QR tracking.

Which format is right for me?

The 9×12 Co-op Postcard has bigger ad spaces and reaches about 5,000 homes, so it suits offers that need room to shine. The 6×12 Community Postcard is a lower-cost way to get a coupon-style offer in front of about 2,500 neighbors. Not sure? Pick "Help me choose" on the form.

Can I take a bigger space?

Yes. On the Co-op Postcard a Large ad takes two spots for more room.

When do I pay?

Not until you've approved your ad proof.

Why is it category-exclusive?

So your ad isn't sitting next to a competitor's. Only one business per category goes on each mailing.

How are homes counted?

Each mailing goes to every home on a USPS Every Door Direct Mail route. Home counts are the Postal Service's route counts, so they're approximate.
