1) What the 9×12 Method is (and why it works)

The 9×12 is a shared-mail postcard mailed into a single town. You recruit multiple non-competing local businesses to share the card, each paying a fraction of what solo direct mail would cost.

  • Big card = high visibility: oversized 9×12″ stands out in the mailbox.
  • Cost-sharing: 10–16 advertisers split the total cost → each pays less.
  • Category exclusivity: one plumber, one realtor, etc., no on-card competitor.
  • Hyper-local: mailed to a specific town so ads feel relevant and close-by.
  • Your role: sell the ad spots and collect assets; our team handles printing, postage, and shipping.
Question: Why is the 9×12 affordable for local businesses?

Choose the best answer.

2) The offer you’re selling

You sell ad spots on the card. Keep it simple and clear:

  • Two common sizes: Small 4×3″ (often around $500) and Large 4×6″ (often around $900).
  • Up to ~16 advertisers: all non-competing.
  • Mailing volume: typically 5,000–10,000 households in a chosen town.
  • You control pricing: adjust per household count and local demand.
  • Positioning: “Direct mail results at a fraction of the solo cost.”
Question: What’s a simple way to present your offer?

Pick the best summary.

3) Who to pitch & where to launch

Start where the odds are best:

  • Industries that buy: roofers, HVAC, electricians, painters, landscapers, gyms, chiropractors, spas/massage, realtors, insurance, attorneys, accountants.
  • Territory: pick a town with ≥15,000 population, a business-dense Main St./plazas, and a “shop local” vibe.
  • Avoid: big national chains with slow approvals; 100% online businesses that don’t need local foot traffic.
  • Pipeline: aim for 250+ contacts; it’s a numbers game.
Question: Which territory is the best starting point?

Choose one.

4) Outreach that gets replies

Use a short, friendly email. It wins because it’s easy to read and specific.

  • Subject: Question
  • Body (first touch): “Hey [Owner], sorry to bug you — I’m mailing a big 9×12″ postcard to 5,000 homes in [Town] featuring local businesses. I’m looking for a [industry]. Would that be something you might want to be on?”
  • Follow-up (2–3 days): “Hey [Name], had a chance to consider?”
  • When they’re in: answer questions, then ask for full payment upfront to reserve the slot.
  • Reason Close: agree with the objection and make it the reason to act (examples in Step 7).
Question: What subject/body combo consistently gets replies?

Pick the best option.

5) What happens after you sell out a card

  • Collect: payments and ad assets (logo, offer, CTA, contact info).
  • Design: you design or use our design service (done-for-you, unlimited revisions).
  • Finalize: compile the print-ready 9×12 PDF.
  • We handle: professional printing, packing, USPS postage, and delivery to the local post office (white-glove).
  • You get: tracking and photos so you can update your advertisers.
  • Material notes: high-quality cardstock, full-color, readable gloss (no “super-gloss” glare).
Question: Who handles printing, postage, and shipping?

Select the correct answer.

6) Simple pricing math (know your profit)

Example scenarios (you can adjust for your market):

  • 5,000 homes: 16 small spots × $500 = $8,000 revenue. If fulfillment is about $2,900 all-in, your profit ≈ $5,100.
  • 10,000 homes: raise slot prices (e.g., $700–$900 in many markets). If all-in fulfillment is ≈ $5,600, profit scales with price and filled slots.
  • Profit levers: fill every slot; price to household count; control design time; rebook renewals.
Question: What is the revenue from 16 small spots at $500 each?

Pick one.

7) Handle objections (Reason Close) & drive renewals

Reason Close: agree with their concern, then show it’s the reason to act.

  • “I’m too busy.” → “Exactly — this gets you more of the right customers so you can choose better jobs.”
  • “Budget’s tight.” → “Exactly — shared mail reaches thousands for a fraction of solo mail.”
  • “Not sure it’ll work.” → “Exactly — there’s no long contract. Test one card and renew only if it performs.”

Renewals: when a business sees results, they tend to stay month-to-month — your second card fills faster with repeat advertisers.

Question: What’s a correct Reason Close response to uncertainty?

Choose the best reply.
