Not all print is equal

Junk mail vehicles have a very short shelf life with one chance to appeal to the buyer. It requires repetition to become effective which takes a lot of time and money. 

Where did your last marketing piece wind up?

The reality of print marketing vehicles is they are by definition a throw-away piece, aka, “junk-mail,” which gets quickly discarded, mostly without being looked at. Town Planner is a different type of vehicle that has practical use offering personal value to the recipient and is kept by 75% of homes that receive it.

What our community says

I’ve been hanging my Town Planner for over 20 years when I lived in St Louis and when I moved to Fernandina I was excited to find Town Planner here too. It keeps me so connected to my community and I enjoy the coupon offers as well.

As a mom and business owner it helps keep things organized. There's so much information in one convenient place. The events and reminders are handy and I love the coupons. It made my life easy when the A/C went out last summer!

I've been a part of Town Planner for over 12 years. I like that the calendars hang on the wall and I'm seen all year long. It helps us stay top of mind when we're needed most. I recommend Town Planner to other home service providers.

My wife grew up with Town Planner in Saint Louis. We ran a small ad on each month for 12 months and gained 60 new home delivery signups by January 20th! The response was beyond my expectations.

Chris Curry - Owner

Local Fare North

I was somewhat skeptical about how Town Planner could help my business. The results have greatly exceeded my expectations as the promotion brought in both new clients and created higher sales from existing customers.

Steve Thompson - Owner

Sand Dollar Cleaners

We saw an immediate response to the coupons ran. We got an average of 5 coupons per day bringing in an average of 30% new customers. Town Planner paid for itself by March and offers continue to come through our doors.

We have a variety of options depending on your individual needs. Some businesses such as HVAC, Plumbers, Garage Door service, and Urgent Care choose to appear on all 12 months to capture that impulse need. Restaurants, personal services, and entertainment generally take 6 months and alternate. It’s totally up to you.

You are welcome to design and supply your own artwork if you’re like. However, we will design your artwork at no charge. 

To ensure our advertising sponsors get the best return on investment, we limit most of our business categories to just one business type per calendar month. Restaurants and entertainment venues do not receive exclusive as these categories are in demand by our users.

We stop taking orders for the following year’s calendar October 30th each year. However, we are a limited space publication and space fills up throughout the year. Also, we are category exclusive which limits the number of types of business that can appear in each edition. 

If you are interested in promoting your business in your community calendar we suggest you act quickly. We make the entire process both easy AND affordable. Why wait?

The most common question we’re asked, of course! 🙂  The short answer is, “it depends…” based on the program we build together. However the average small business spends between $150 and $220 per month per edition, roughly $0.24 cents per home for the entire year!  That’s less than the cost of a first class stamp, about half the cost of a one-time use post card, and about 85% less than the cost of a coupon book. 

Call us! 904-506-0660. We will work with you to understand your current marketing needs and build a package that works best for you to achieve your goals. You can supply your own art, or we will be happy to design your ads and offers for you, at no charge! Space is limited and first come first served.
