Who's behind this

A Calgary business, run directly by the person you'll talk to

The Mailbox Circle is a registered Alberta business based in Calgary. When you get a quote, you're talking directly to the person managing your drop — not a call centre, not a franchise script.

Direct mail isn't a new idea to me, either. Back in high school, I ran flyer campaigns for small local shops — going house to house, business to business — and saw first-hand how consistently physical mail brings neighbourhood customers through the door. The Mailbox Circle takes that same approach and does it properly: organized, measurable, and delivered through Canada Post.

How it works

From conversation to mailbox

01

Conversation

Tell us your business and the area you want. We'll recommend shared or exclusive based on your goals.

02

Design

Send your logo and offer. We handle layout and drop a tracking QR code in the corner.

03

Print

Your category is locked. Only one business per category ever appears on a shared mailer.

Canada Post Neighbourhood Mail delivers to every household in the selected area — guaranteed.

Why it works

Built for businesses that want results, not impressions

01

Category exclusivity

You're the only dealership, the only realtor, the only clinic on the card. No competitors sharing your customer's attention.

02

Real households, not impressions

Canada Post delivers physically to every home in the area. No algorithm decides who sees it and who doesn't.

03

Shared cost, full reach

Splitting the mailer across a handful of businesses means full-neighbourhood reach at a cost no solo flyer run can match.

04

Every drop is measured

Each drop's QR code points to its own unique link, so every scan is counted. After your drop, you'll see exactly how many households scanned and when — real response numbers, not guesses.

A rough sense of scale, before we talk specifics.

Shared spots start around $200 and scale up from there depending on the ad size and area you pick. Want the whole card to yourself? Full exclusivity is available too — we'll price it to your footprint.

Even at our smallest size, a shared spot can work out to just a few cents per household reached — a single Facebook click often costs $1 to $3 and disappears the second someone scrolls past. Your ad sits on a real kitchen counter for weeks instead.

Get your exact quote

Exact pricing depends on spot size, area, and household count — we'll walk through it together on a quick call.

FAQ

Common questions

How exclusive is "exclusive"?

On a shared mailer, only one business per category appears on that specific drop. On an exclusive mailer, your business is the only one on the entire card.

Can I choose my own neighbourhood on a shared mailer?

Shared mailers run on fixed drop groups so every business on the card reaches the same households. If you need a specific area, use the request form or ask about an exclusive mailer.

How much does this cost?

Pricing depends on the ad size you choose and how many households are in your drop — shared spots start around $200, with full exclusivity priced to your footprint. We'll put together the exact number for your business on a short call, no obligation. Get a quote to get started.

When do I pay?

Payment is collected in full before your design goes to print. We don't send anything to Canada Post until you're paid up — that keeps timelines predictable for everyone on the card.

What's the QR code on the corner for?

Every card includes a tracking QR code so performance can be measured drop by drop. Exclusive clients can also add their own QR linking anywhere they choose.

Do I see the design before it prints?

Yes. You'll approve a proof of your ad section before anything goes to print. Nothing ships without your sign-off.

What if the drop doesn't bring the results I hoped for?

No form of advertising can guarantee sales — not mail, not Google, not anyone — and we won't pretend otherwise. What we do guarantee is everything within our control: your approved design gets printed, handed to Canada Post Neighbourhood Mail, and delivered to every household in the drop zone; your category stays exclusive on that mailer; and you receive your drop's full QR scan data. After the drop, we'll walk through that data with you and talk about what to adjust — offer, design, or timing — so your next one performs better.
