Market domination across two towns

When postcards stopped being enough

Postcards covered a wide area but diluted the team’s message among agents mailing the same thing. A full-colour 12-page newspaper cost just six cents more per copy.

  • $4net profit back for every $1 spent on the publication
  • 6¢more per copy than the postcard it replaced
