CURRENT MONTH
MAILER

Here is a list of every question I have been asked to clarify and the answer, contact me with any further questions you may have!

​

​

 

Q: Do you work for the city?

A: No, I am just a citizen, I realized that there was no community advertisement options in Kamloops , if a small business wanted to advertise with physical flyer, they would have to spend several thousands of dollars for a print run and delivery, but with a community mailer like this, we can share the costs. so I got quotes from printers , and I got small business access to the Canada Post "neighbourhood mailing" system , I run the numbers and came up with this plan.

 

Q: What is the cost for the large/medium add?

A: The larger add space costs $440, and the smaller one $340 (per month, because every month i have to again go through the process of design print and mail out)

 

Q: What areas is this targeting?

A: This post card will go out to houses inside the “core Kamloops” area, about a 6km radius from the Overlanders Bridge, but also including densely inhabited further areas like valley-view, and excluding the least inhabited “rural” roads like Mission Flats Road

, I use the “Canada Post Neighbourhood Mail” service, which allows me to select exactly which delivery routes I want, and it allows me to select households above a certain yearly income level, so, I only target middle-high and high income homes in these above described areas, in total there are about 19000 of those homes in Kamloops, but, the mailer goes out to 5000 homes per month, so , every month the mailer will go out to different routes spread over the “core Kamloops” area, every month it will go out to a different 5000 homes, therefore covering all 19000 homes every 4 months

 

Q: What is the cost per issue?

A: the cost per issue is simply the cost of the above described advertisement slot, each month, for $340(small) or $440(big) the card goes out to 5000 homes , every month its a new print run and it will again cost the same as the month before. But of-course, once you buy a slot, the following month you will have first dibs to the same slot, and of-course, for as long as you choose to advertise on this card, no other competing services will be advertised on the card.

 

Q: How often is this repeated?

A: I plan to do this once per month, but it may take perhaps 6 weeks for the first print run to be delivered because its currently the first run (July 2026) and the process of acquiring enough people interested to cover the costs may take some more time

 

Q: Do you have templates for the add sizes, so we can design?

A: Yes, just message me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/kambiznet or email me kamloopsbusinessnet@gmail.com and ill send you everything, when you design it, keep in mind that the card doesn't really have a top or bottom or sides, it will be in whatever orientation the recipient grabs it at first sight, so really, any corner can be oriented to appear as the top-left corner if you choose to advertise there.

​

Q: Have you looked into advertising with cfjc, radio nl, castanet or the kamloops chronicle (chronicle is printed once a month)

A: Hello, not really, the purpose of this initiative is to give small business the opportunity to send a post card , direct to the mail boxes of 5000 sect home sin Kamloops once per month, with their advertisement on it, not diluted inside a newspaper, nor a quick mention on the radio, by sending out one card per month with on it all the advertisements of the businesses that wish to participate, we divide the costs (which would usually be thousands of dollars) among a group of small businesses, and make it affordable even for the smaller businesses. of course Radio and newspapers are an option for everyone, but a tick glossy and large postcard will make a different kind of impact on potential customers when they find it in their mailbox!
