FAQ: What advertisers ask before they book

If you want to move fast, start here. These are the exact details that affect your campaign and your risk.

What exactly am I buying?

One category-exclusive ad placement on a shared postcard in your selected area set: Area A, Area B, or both. No direct competitor in your category appears on the card for that drop.

How fast can I reserve my slot?

Most advertisers can reserve in under 10 minutes: choose your category and commitment tier, upload artwork, and pay. Once submitted, your category is locked for that drop after payment confirmation.

How much control do I have over my ad?

You design your own ad and choose your category placement. What you upload is what mails. We do not insert a proof cycle that can delay drops; instead, the intake upload check validates format and print specs before payment.

What does category-exclusive mean?

One business per category per drop in your selected area set. No same-category competition on your card.

What areas do you cover?

You can choose Area A: Fallston (21047) + Forest Hill (21050), Area B: Bel Air (21014 + 21015), or both areas together. See the intake form for full demographic details.

How much does it cost?

Area A: $1,175 per drop, Area B: $2,750 per drop, or Both: $3,925 per drop. Commitment discounts apply to each area set: 3 drops at 10% off or 6 drops at 18% off. See Pricing for full details.

When is the next drop?

June 15, 2026. Order cutoff is June 1, 2026.

What if my artwork is not ready yet?

You should submit final artwork during intake to avoid missing the cutoff. If you have a near-final file and need a quick spec check, email help@frontdoorads.com before purchasing.

How should I measure performance?

Use a trackable phone number, dedicated landing page, or offer code on your ad. The strongest campaigns pair a clear offer with immediate call/text response handling.

Who is this best for?

Home-service and local consumer businesses that serve specific neighborhoods and want consistent household visibility. If your sales depend on local trust and local reach, this format is typically a fit.

What is your refund policy?

If your card does not mail on June 15, 2026, you get a full automatic refund.
