One business per category. Once a spot is taken, it’s gone for that edition.
The businesses on the current card, and the stories behind them.
Mailed to every home on Grand Island: half the island each month, so all 9,572 addresses get it 6 times a year. Full color, professionally designed. We create your ad for you — just send your logo and what you want to say.
Every advertiser gets a professionally written feature published permanently on 716Spotlight.com. It’s a bonus, not the product — we write about businesses that don’t advertise too, any time the story is worth telling. You never have to buy an ad to get covered. Just reach out if you have a business story you’d like told.
Your story gets shared to our local Facebook audience. Recent stories have hit 25,000+ impressions. One per category — no competing with someone else in your field.
The full height USPS allows — more than twice the face of a standard postcard. Nothing to open, nothing to unfold, nothing between your ad and the person holding it. Postcards lead every direct-mail format on response, and oversized cards outpull standard ones by 20–40%. That’s not a sales line; it’s the data.
When you claim a category, it’s yours. Your competitor can’t buy their way onto the same card, the same month, next to your ad. Every other name on the card is a neighbor in a different line of work — not someone bidding for your customer.
The other mailer on the island is a folded flyer. On one recent edition it carried two liquor stores and two collision shops. Your ad, inside a fold, beside the business you’re trying to beat — and the reader has to open it to find you at all.
It’s a group of Grand Island business owners sharing one postcard. Every name on the card is a neighbor. Valpak is a national company mailing a sealed envelope of coupons from Florida — and the first thing most people do with a sealed envelope of coupons is throw it out.
Each edition mails to half of Grand Island; the next one covers the other half. Two consecutive editions put you in all 9,572 island homes.
“One story about a local dairy sparked a thread where people shared memories going back 60 years. That kind of engagement doesn’t happen by accident — it happens because people genuinely love their community.”
