Shared postcard advertising in Redlands
A shared mailer puts your business in every mailbox on the route for a fraction of the cost of mailing your own card.
How a shared mailer works
Redlands Neighbor sells 15 equal ad spots on one 9x12 postcard. When enough spots are paid to cover the mailing, we print the card and mail it by USPS Every Door Direct Mail to about 3,000 homes in ZIP 92373. If it falls short, you choose a full refund or the next date.

Frequently asked questions
What is a shared postcard mailer?
A single large postcard that carries ads from several local businesses. The businesses split the printing and postage, so each pays far less than mailing alone.
Will a competitor be on the same card?
No. Redlands Neighbor allows one business per category on each card.
How big is each ad?
All 15 spots are the same size, about 4.5 by 2.5 inches, on a 9x12 card.
How is this different from a coupon book?
It is one card, not a booklet, so every ad is visible as soon as it comes out of the mailbox.
