Why businesses choose Local-Link
Direct mail done differently.
Local-Link was built by a local small business owner who couldn't find an affordable, high-impact direct mail option. So she created one.
Category exclusive
Only one business per industry per mailer. Your category is yours — no direct competitors on the same card.
5,000 targeted homes
Each mailing reaches 5,000 or more households in a focused, high-income neighborhood — people who live and spend locally.
100% front page
No envelopes to open, no pages to turn. Your ad is seen the moment the card comes out of the mailbox.
Online presence included
Every completed mailer is published on this site with clickable business listings — giving you an additional online presence at no extra cost.
Free professional design
Don't have artwork ready? Professional ad design is included. If you have your own, we can use that too.
No contract required
Each mailing is a one-time purchase. Stay as long as it works for your business, and go when you need to.
Stacking discounts
Prepay for multiple mailings or add multiple locations and your rate drops. The more consistent you are, the more you save.
Affordable pricing
Shared placement means big-business visibility at a small-business price. Spots start at $299 — reaching 5,000 homes for less than 6 cents each.
Your card. Their mailbox. Their neighborhood.
Why direct mail still works
Your business needs to show up more than once to be remembered.
Marketing research has shown for decades that people need to encounter a business roughly seven times before it feels familiar enough to trust. That's the Rule of 7 — and it changes how you should think about your advertising.
Most digital ads disappear in seconds, unseen or forgotten. A well-designed postcard is different. It lands in someone's hands, sits on the kitchen counter for days, and gets looked at more than once. That's not one impression — that's several. Combined with your online presence, Local-Link gives your business a physical touchpoint that reinforces everything else you're already doing. Direct mail doesn't replace your online marketing. It makes it work harder.

For neighbors and deal seekers
Local-Link is a community postcard that goes out to households across targeted KC Metro neighborhoods. Each card features a curated group of local businesses — one per industry — with their offers and contact information. Think of it as your neighborhood's local business guide, delivered right to your mailbox.
Go to the Locations page, find your neighborhood, and click into the current issue. Each business on the mailer has a clickable listing with their website, phone number, current offers, and more — all in one place.
Cards go out as soon as each mailer fills with businesses — then run on a bi-monthly schedule, with the goal of graduating to monthly as we grow. You can check the next projected issue date for your area on the Locations page.
Yes. Every issue we've published stays live on the site. Go to your location's page and you'll see all issues listed, newest first. Past issues are fully browsable and all business listings remain clickable.
No. Local-Link is completely free for residents. The postcard is delivered to your mailbox at no charge, and this website is free to use. The businesses on the card pay for their placement — which keeps it free for the community.
We're actively expanding across the KC Metro. If your area isn't live yet, check the Locations page — many neighborhoods are listed as coming soon. You can also reach out directly to request your area or get notified when it launches.
For local business owners
You choose a location, pick a placement size, and we design your ad — or use yours if you have it. Your business is featured on the postcard that goes to 5,000 households in that neighborhood. Only one business per category is allowed per mailer, so there's no direct competition on the card.
Placements start at $299 per mailing for 5,000 homes — that's under 6 cents per household. Multiple sizes are available up to a full-page format at $1,999. Multi-mailing and multi-location prepay discounts are stackable up to 25% off. See the full pricing breakdown on the Advertise page.
No contracts. Each mailing is a one-time purchase. You're not locked into anything — though most businesses find the consistency of repeat mailings builds better recognition over time.
If your category is full in a particular location, we'll let you know and help you find another area where your spot is still open — or put you on a waitlist if you prefer to stay close to home.
Not at all. Professional ad design is included with every placement. We'll reach out after you reserve your spot to get what we need. If you already have artwork, we can absolutely work with that too.
From time to time we run specials for new advertisers joining a fresh location. The best way to find out what's available right now is to visit the Current Specials page or reach out directly — we're happy to talk through what makes sense for your budget.
