Allied Outreach — Shared postcards for Pearland businesses

How it works

What you do and what we do.

You hand us your logo and the offer you want to run. We handle the design, the printing, the EDDM paperwork, and the actual mailing.

Apply for your category

Tell us about your business. We check that your category is still open on the route and that you're a fit for the card. If yes, we lock the slot.

We design, you approve

Send your logo and the offer you want to run. We send back a proof. Nothing prints until you sign off, and revisions are unlimited.

We mail, you stay in the loop

Five thousand Pearland homes, dropped every 60 days through USPS EDDM. We send the route map before print, ping you when the cards are at the post office, and confirm the day they're in mailboxes.

You see who scanned

Your QR code is unique to your ad. You get scan counts and timing so you can tell what the drop actually did.

Why this works

Built around Pearland.

Every card is mailed to Pearland neighborhoods near your shop. The people who see it are the same people you run into at the grocery store and the school pickup line.

The lineup is curated, not auctioned

We don't put just anyone on the card. Each one is a business we'd send a neighbor to. If you make the card, you're sitting next to businesses people around here already trust.

A handful of businesses split the cost

A slot on a shared 9×12 costs a fraction of what you'd pay to print and mail your own.

Mailed where your customers actually live

The mailboxes getting your card belong to Pearland families, close enough that they'd actually swing by if they needed what you offer.

The fridge is a 60-day reminder

A Facebook ad disappears the second someone scrolls past. A postcard ends up on a counter or a fridge and stays there. When the water heater finally goes, the name on the fridge is the local business that gets called.

Questions we get a lot

Things people ask before they reserve.

What counts as "one per category"?

One plumber per card. One realtor. One auto shop. If you're the dentist, no other dentist gets on the card. Categories are reasonably granular: "general contractor" and "roofer" are separate slots, so are "med spa" and "dentist." We'll confirm your exact category is open when you reserve.

How do you decide which businesses go on the card?

We curate. Every business on the card has been checked by us: real address, real reviews, actually answering their phone. We're not a marketplace where anyone with $300 gets a slot. The whole point of the card is that your neighbors trust it, and that only works if the businesses on it are ones we'd recommend to our own friends. If you apply and we don't think you're a fit yet, we'll tell you why.

How is this different from ValPak or a coupon book?

Two things. First, ValPak is an envelope. Most people throw it out without opening it, and if they do open it, your coupon is one of thirty, sitting next to your competitors. Our card is a single 9×12 piece that's in their hands the second they grab the mail. No envelope to open, no competitors on the same page. Second, we're strict about one business per category. ValPak will put three plumbers, four dentists, and two roofers in the same envelope. We won't.

Who gets the card?

Every residential household on our Pearland routes. We'll send you a map of the exact streets before it goes out.

How do I know if it worked?

Each ad gets its own QR code. We send you a dashboard with scan counts and timing. If your QR points to a page that captures form fills or call clicks, you'll see those too. One thing worth knowing: a lot of direct mail response shows up as people just calling your existing number a few weeks later, so the QR scans won't capture everything. If you want, we'll help you set up a tracked phone number for the campaign.

What if I don't have a strong offer?

We'll work with you on it. A specific offer beats a generic one. "First service call free" or "$50 off your first visit" will outperform "quality you can trust" every time. If you're not sure what to offer, we'll ask you a few questions about your business and help you land on something concrete.

What if I'm not happy with the ad design?

We iterate until you're happy. Send us your feedback and we'll revise the design. There's no limit on rounds. We don't send it to print until you sign off.

How do I apply?

Text, call, or WhatsApp. We'll check that your category is open, ask a few questions to make sure you're a fit, and send pricing in writing. Once you're approved and paid, the slot is yours. Cards usually fill two to three weeks before the drop date, so the sooner you reach out, the better your chance of getting your category.
