More Than a Postcard
An ordinary shared mailer ends at the mailbox. Lil City keeps working.
The physical card is the anchor. The three included digital placements give interested residents more ways to recognize, check, and contact your business.
Typical shared mailer

—Business may need to supply finished artwork
—Little follow-through after delivery

Questions
Before you reserve
Which packages include category exclusivity?
The Founding 8 double placements, half-side placements, and full-side placements include category exclusivity for the campaign. The $395 single slot does not include exclusivity and may share a category with another single-slot advertiser.
What does “all four included” mean?
Your package includes the selected 9×12 mailer placement, a Lil City Instagram feature, a Lil City newsletter mention, and a LocalShortlist.com business profile. During the current launch offer, the three digital placements do not carry an additional media fee.
When will the card be mailed?
The next campaign timing is being finalized as the roster is completed. Before any final balance is due, participating businesses receive the planned mailing week, selected route information, final household count, and artwork schedule.
Can Lil City create the ad?
Yes. Basic ad design is included. You provide the logo, photos, contact information, and offer; Lil City prepares a proof for approval. Businesses may also supply their own print-ready artwork.
Is the $99 category hold refundable?
The $99 hold is intended for double-slot-or-larger Founding 8 placements, is credited toward the package balance, and is refundable under the campaign terms if the stated launch condition is not reached. Final written terms are provided before payment.
