Shared advertising · West Saginaw · August 2026
Reach 5,000 west Saginaw homes for about ten cents apiece.
Sixteen local businesses splitting one 9×12 postcard. One business per industry. Mailed to 48603 this August.
An example of a finished 9×12 card — local businesses, one per industry.
Cheaper than mailing alone.
Sixteen businesses split one postcard, so your reach costs about 10¢ a home instead of the $0.60–$1.00 it runs to mail solo. Same neighbors, one-sixth the cost.
It actually gets seen.
Email gets scrolled past. Social ads vanish with a swipe. But almost everyone sorts their mail — they hold every piece and glance at it.
One per industry.
Only one business per category is on the card. Your $499 also locks every competing business in your industry out of that month's mailing.
The honest math
What it costs to reach 5,000 homes.
| Mailing solo | The Saginaw Front Porch | |
|---|---|---|
| Printing (5,000 qty, 4-color, 2-sided) | $1,500 – $2,500 | Included |
| EDDM postage (5,000 × $0.20) | $1,000 | Included |
| Design | $300 – $1,000 | Included |
| USPS permit + bundling | $200 – $300 | Included |
| Total out of pocket | $3,000 – $5,000+ | $499 |
| Cost per household | $0.60 – $1.00 | 10¢ |
| Featured beside trusted locals | No | Yes — 15 non-competing neighbors |
| Your time | 5–15 hours | ~30 min (send a logo + offer) |
Estimates based on typical west-Saginaw EDDM solo-mail quotes, 2026.
“Sixteen businesses splitting the cost is what makes ten cents per home possible.”

Why your money
is safe
The August card runs only if we hit 10 of 16 slots by July 22. If we don't, you get a full refund and the card shifts to September. Nobody pays for a card that didn't actually go out.
These businesses do well on the card:
- Home servicesHVAC, roofing, plumbing, electrical, landscaping
- HealthChiropractors, dentists, med spas, family practice
- AutoRepair, detailing, dealers
- ProfessionalFinancial planners, CPAs, insurance, real estate
- Local favoritesRestaurants, venues, boutique retail
Not a fit:
- National chains — this is local.
- Two businesses in the same category on one card — we keep it one per industry.
What's open
16 slots. One per industry.
Here's what's still open for August.
Know it worked
Proof your ad worked — not just a QR code.
Anyone can print a QR code. This one is yours alone: each ad on the card gets its own uniquely-tracked code, so you see exactly how many people scanned your ad, how many were new, and when — a live dashboard that proves the card paid off.
A real report for one ad on the card — total scans, unique people, repeat rate, devices, and timing.
-
A code that's yours alone.
Your ad gets its own uniquely-tracked link — every scan counts to your ad specifically, never lumped in with anyone else's.
-
Real numbers, not guesses.
Total scans, unique people, repeat visitors, plus device, browser, and time of day — a live dashboard, plus a clean PDF report you can keep.
-
Point it anywhere.
Send scanners to your website, a booking page, a seasonal offer, or your Google reviews — and change the destination anytime.
-
Zero work for you.
I generate the code, print it on your ad, and hand you the report. Nothing to set up, nothing to manage.
The math, your numbers
What could 5,000 households mean for you?
Move the sliders. The math is honest — you decide if it's worth $499.
Hi, I'm Carter.
I'm a Saginaw-area local. I run Wyatt Quinn Marketing Solutions and work with small businesses around the county. I put The Saginaw Front Porch together because the businesses I work with kept asking the same thing — how do I reach my actual neighbors without lighting money on fire?
This is my answer, and I'm not going to dress it up: it's a postcard. A big one. Sixteen of us split the cost, it goes to 5,000 homes, and one business per industry gets on it. That's the whole idea.
If you want your industry's slot for August, let's talk.
The Saginaw Front Porch is a Wyatt Quinn Marketing Solutions LLC project.

Questions
The honest answers.
When does the card mail?
Early-to-mid August 2026, to about 5,000 west Saginaw homes. The card runs only if 10 of 16 slots fill by July 22 — if it doesn't hit that, everyone's refunded and it shifts to September.
Who actually gets it?
Every home on a USPS EDDM route in 48603 — about 5,000 households. I can send you the exact route map.
Why a postcard instead of Facebook ads?
Different tool for a different job. A postcard lands in 100% of mailboxes — no algorithm, no skip button, no ad blocker. People hold it. It works especially well for local services where trust matters. Most advertisers use mail alongside digital, not instead of it.
What do you need from me?
Your logo, a short headline or offer, and your contact info. I build the ad and send you a proof.
Can I see it before it prints?
Yes. I send you a proof to approve, with one round of revisions included. You sign off before anything mails.
Do you guarantee leads?
No — nobody honest about marketing does. What I guarantee: 5,000 cards mailed to real Saginaw homes on the date promised, designed well, with you approving every detail first.
Can I tell if it's working?
Yes — every ad on the card gets its own trackable QR code. You'll see how many people scanned it and when, so you get real numbers instead of a guess. Point it wherever you want: your website, a booking page, a special offer, or your Google reviews.
Is this like Money Mailer or Valpak?
Different product. Those send envelopes of 30+ separate coupon inserts. This is one oversized 9×12 card with only 16 businesses on it, one per industry, no direct competitors — and it's too big to fit in the mail bundle, so it sits on top.
How does payment work?
You pay the $499 up front — that's what locks your slot and your category so a competitor can't take it. You're protected either way: if we don't hit 10 of 16 slots by July 22, or the card doesn't mail for any reason, you get a full refund.
