Put Your Business in 10,000 GTA Mailboxes for 8.5 Cents a Home.

GTA Spotlight is one oversized postcard shared by local businesses, one from each trade. You split the print and postage. Your competitors stay off the card.

The math of sharing

How a shared postcard cuts your cost

Mailing a postcard to 10,000 homes on your own means paying for the design, the printing and the postage yourself. That bill is why most local businesses never try mail.

GTA Spotlight splits it. Up to 16 businesses share one card, and no two are in the same trade. Each pays only for its own space. Every one of them reaches all 10,000 homes.

A single spot on the Jumbo Card costs $850. That works out to 8.5 cents a home.
