PA Business Bulletin is a local, oversized 9″ × 12″ postcard direct mail publication designed to help local businesses reach nearby customers.
We offer three market-specific editions:
- York Business Bulletin
- Harrisburg Business Bulletin
- Lancaster Business Bulletin
Businesses can book a mailer in one market, multiple markets or all three.
Each edition is mailed using USPS Every Door Direct Mail® (EDDM) to reach households in carefully selected, high-value local zip codes.
PA Business Bulletin removes the guesswork and hassle from local advertising.
We provide:
- Targeted delivery to households near your business
- Professional design, printing, postage, and mailing
- Simple, transparent pricing
There’s no need to purchase mailing lists, stuff envelopes, or coordinate vendors. You provide your information — a name, logo, contact information, website URL and QR-code or coupon.
By sharing the cost of an oversized 9″ x 12″ postcard with a limited number of non-competing businesses, we’re able to offer direct mail exposure at a fraction of the cost of running a solo campaign.
Our advertisers pay less than 8 cents per household, which is often 10 to 20 times less than comparable standalone mail campaigns.
Unlike digital ads that can be ignored or filtered out, direct mail places your message directly into customers’ homes. Our oversized format ensures your ad stands out among bills and standard mail.
Each edition of the PA Business Bulletin features advertisements from a select group of local businesses and is mailed to 10,000+ households in targeted delivery routes within your chosen market.
We curate premium residential delivery routes in zip codes near your business using USPS EDDM guidelines. This ensures your ad reaches households most likely to become local customers.
Mailers are sent throughout the year approximately two weeks after the final ad space is booked and artwork is approved.
You can either submit your own ad or have us design it for you at no additional cost.
If we design the ad, please provide:
- Any preferences or notes
- Business name (as you want it displayed)
- High-resolution logo (if available)
- Phone number and/or email
- Website URL (if applicable)
- Offer, promotion, QR code or call-to-action (optional)
We offer tiered ad sizes to fit your budget:
- Starter Ad: $350 per mailer
- 3″ x 2″ ad space
- Less than 4¢ per household
- Standard Ad: $600 per mailer
- 3″ x 4″ ad space

Results can vary—and that’s completely normal. Effective local advertising is about building visibility, credibility, and trust over time, not just generating immediate clicks or calls.
Your return depends on several factors, including:
- The strength and clarity of your offer
- Your type of business
- The price point of your product or service
- How consistently you advertise
For example, a restaurant offering $10 off an entrée may see an immediate surge in responses because it’s a low-cost, high-demand offer. A solar panel installation company promoting full system installations may receive fewer initial inquiries but just one completed job can more than cover the cost of an entire campaign.
It’s also important to consider the lifetime value of a new customer, not just the first transaction.
The greatest long-term impact comes from consistency. As the saying goes: it’s rarely the first time someone sees your ad that matters—it’s the fifth time, right when they need you. That’s the power of repetition in a local market like ours.
