The Newark math
A typical EDDM postcard costs $0.30–$0.50 per home per mailing. The Community Card gets your name in front of 8,500 Newark households for under $11.76 per thousand — and stays on the fridge for the full year instead of getting tossed in a week.

FAQ — common questions from Newark business owners
"What if my competitor pays first?"
You're locked out of that category for the 2026 print run. Categories are first-paid-first-locked. There's exactly one newark HVAC, one plumber, one roofer per card.
"How do people actually use the card?"
It lives on the fridge. The front has emergency + utility numbers — police non-emergency, AEP outage, Columbia Gas, Newark water/sewer. People keep it because they need those numbers. Then when their water heater dies at 9 PM, your name is right there on the back.
"$100 for the year — what's the catch?"
No catch. The card runs once. Print + design + USPS to 8,500 Newark homes is paid for by ~26 local businesses splitting the cost. $100 covers your spot in the directory for the full 2026 calendar year.
"What if I want my logo or a photo?"
Standard $100 is name + phone in the directory row. The Premium $250 / Ultra $500 panel ads give you a small / large box on the back of the card with logo, photo, tagline. Most Newark businesses start with Standard since the category is locked anyway.
"How is this different from EDDM postcards?"
EDDM postcards cost $0.30–$0.50 per home each mailing, get tossed in a week, and your competitors are mailing the same homes. Community Card runs ~$11.76 per thousand, lives on the fridge for 12 months, and locks competitors out of your category.
