4,600+ homes per edition.* $349.
*The exact count depends on the USPS routes for each run. Roxborough is about 4,900 and Chestnut Hill is about 4,600. Your agreement shows your edition’s approximate count, and your card-mailed email gives the final number from the USPS receipt.

Mailed to every address on your routes, with the USPS receipt to prove it, or a full refund.
Taking you to secure checkout
Your spot is locked as soon as your payment goes through. A $99 deposit is credited toward your $349 and doesn't expire; the $250 balance is due when you approve your proof, before the prep deadline.
What you get
One business per category
Each card has 16 spots and only one business per category. If you're the plumber on the card, you're the only plumber on the card.
You approve your own ad
Send your logo and one offer, and we'll design your ad. You see a proof of your ad and approve it before anything prints. Ask for changes as many times as you need until the prep deadline.
Every response is tracked
Your ad gets its own QR code and its own offer code. You see the scans and the code uses, so you know what the card brought in.
Make-good promise
If your ad gets fewer than 5 tracked responses (scans of your ad's own QR code plus any code uses you log) in 60 days after the mail date, you get a free run in a future edition, from available space. You log code uses from a private link we send you, and not logging never counts against you. Covers every spot type. No cash refunds.
Make-good runs use unsold space only, in the same neighborhood or an equivalent one, at the same ad size. One make-good per paid run. Not redeemable for cash. Applies to every spot type.
Two ways to pay
- Launch price, one edition
- Nothing else due
- Holds your spot and category
- Credited toward the $349 and doesn't expire
- $250 balance due when you approve your proof
If you miss the prep deadline, your spot rolls to the next edition or you get your $99 back, your choice. After you approve your proof, spots are non-refundable.
Save when you book more
10% off when you run in both neighborhoods at once. 10% off for 3 runs, 15% off for 6 runs. Discounts stack.
Launch prices, based on the $349 spot. Paid in full upfront.

A note from Kelly
I'm Philly born and raised, and I ran a coffee bar here for six years. I know how hard it is to get new customers in the door, and how confusing marketing gets when everyone's selling you something. So here it is plain: every price is on this page, you see your own ad before it prints, and you can see what it brought in. Still me, but still a business.

Questions owners ask
What is Mailbox Finds?
It's one 9x12 postcard shared by up to 16 local businesses and mailed to every home in one neighborhood. Each business buys one spot to bring in new customers. Only one business per category.
What does $349 get me?
One spot on one edition, with design, printing, postage, your own QR code and offer code, and your results reports. That's about 7 to 8 cents a home. Mailing a card like this to 4,600+ homes on your own costs about $2,400.
Who gets the card?
Every home on the USPS carrier routes for your edition: about 4,900 homes in Roxborough (19128) or about 4,600 in Chestnut Hill (19118). It's delivered by USPS Every Door Direct Mail, and we send you the stamped USPS mailing receipt (PS Form 3587) as proof. Every card is handed to USPS for delivery to every address on your selected routes. We send you the post office's mailing receipt as proof. If we can't show it, you get a full refund.
How do I know if it worked?
Your ad has its own QR code. Each scan is counted for your ad. You also get your own offer code that customers say or show, and you log those uses from a private link we send you. Your report shows both.
We send you a results report at 30 days and at 60 days. If your ad gets fewer than 5 tracked responses in 60 days, you get a free run in open space on a future card. We don't promise results, and there are no cash refunds for results. If you don't log codes, that never counts against you.
What do I need to send?
Your logo, one offer, and the basics: business name, phone, website or booking link, and any license numbers you need to show (home improvement contractors need a PA HIC number). We design the ad and send you the proof of your ad to approve.
How does the $99 deposit work?
$99 holds your spot and category. It counts toward the $349 and doesn't expire. The $250 balance is due when you approve your proof, by the prep deadline. If you miss the deadline, you choose: roll to the next edition, or get your $99 back. A request with no payment is held for 7 days.
When does it mail?
We don't promise mail dates. The card mails once it's ready to print and every ad on it has been approved. We'll email you when it mails, along with the USPS receipt. If your edition isn't ready to print within 30 days of its target date, you choose: roll over to the next edition, or get a full refund of everything you've paid.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, a full refund any time before you approve your proof. After that the card goes to print and payments aren't refundable, except for the delivery and 30-day timing guarantees.
What if my category is taken?
You go on the waitlist for the next edition, and there's no deposit. If your category is open in the other neighborhood's edition, we'll tell you.
Can I see the whole card before I pay?
You can see a sample ad and how it works. Your proof shows your own ad, exactly as it will print.
What can't go in an ad?
Nothing misleading and no religious messaging. Everything has to be true, and you have to honor your offer. We can decline an ad, and if we do, you get a full refund.
What about renewing, or a bigger ad?
Renew within 7 days of our "your card mailed" email to keep your category. Booking more runs or both neighborhoods saves money (see "Save when you book more" above). A double spot is $649 at the founding rate or $849 regular, when there's room.
