Dana Carver spent 15 years learning how to build a grooming salon that doesn't hurt the dogs or the people who care for them.

108 square inches — four times the face of a standard postcard. Nothing to open, nothing to unfold, nothing between your ad and the person holding it. The ANA’s 2023 Response Rate Report puts postcards at a 5.7% response rate against 4.3% for letter-sized envelopes — about a third higher, and the postcard is the one nobody has to open.
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.
5,000 front doors each month,* one card. Your rate drops the longer you stay on it and never goes up. Stop after any edition — there is nothing to sign.
| Ad | One edition | Editions 1–2 | Editions 3–4 | Editions 5+best rate |

Prices are per edition. You move to the next rate automatically as you stay on the card, and it never goes up. No contract and no minimum — stop after any edition. If you come off the card and return later, you start again at the first rate. A double counts as two slots, so a double for one edition costs the same as a single for two.
