Does Mail Work?
Buy Local
is a local advertising cooperative that helps businesses share the cost of professional print and targeted direct-mail marketing.
Local businesses gain the mailing power of larger corporations without paying corporate-size advertising costs. Our goal is to help businesses reach more homes, stay visible in the community, and grow through affordable, high-quality local advertising.

Does Mail Work?
Mailing works! If it didn’t, political campaigns, major retailers, and large organizations would not continue showing up in mailboxes year after year.
The problem is not effectiveness.
The problem is cost.
As postage continues to rise, mailing has become too expensive for many local businesses to do on their own.

What's the cost?
A local business can reach out to nearly 30,000 Natomas households for as little as a penny or two per mailbox.
That is why cooperative mailing gives local businesses a practical way to compete with bigger advertisers.

Monthly Publisher Notes
How BUY LOCAL arrived in Natomas
BUY LOCAL was created because of many of the businesses you see in this issue. Many pushed for this to happen and encouraged along the way. It didn't "arrive." It was "born" here out of a common shared interest, and then carved into reality.
Appreciation
To the businesses that pushed and encouraged this to happen, Thank you We will return the favor by supporting you at every given opportunity. In person, online and in print---we will proudly be there for you. We grow together. Thank you Natomas!
Who we seek
We seek quality for our locals. We seek small business, family owned, locally owned, mom and pop, sole proprietors, and start ups for the sole purpose of making them grow and thrive. That creates best friends for life. We also seek the established businesses as to assist in growth and sustainability. We are customer acquisition.
What's next?
We prepare for October. Our team is dedicated to delivering the best quality available in Natomas. As we approach each Natomas business, we archive. We offer and take note of the response. As we fill our categories, you will most likely start seeing businesses from outside Natomas. Keep in mind--we approached Natomas first. This will catapult our mailbox count to our goal and increase the reach for those participating. We are not sales...We are an opportunity. One business alone cannot do what we do as a group without great expense.
Expansion and notes:
Here is what is happening and what is on the horizon. There is a demand for what we do here in Roseville. This approach to banding together as a group is quite popular. It is a delicate process for Roseville because we do not want to invade with non-Roseville businesses. There is enough to create a book there right now, but we are still in the process of sifting through everything so that we give Roseville the respect they deserve for those locals. Roseville is accustomed to paying extremely high rates to get attention. Seeing our nice rates seems too good to be true. We are working through that and will provide the same excellence we provide in Natomas.
There is a stir starting in East Sacramento and Mid-town. Businesses from there have contacted us. We serve Natomas and we are loyal to it. We may need to take this same concept to those areas that want what we have. We will keep you updated.
Most importantly:
The majority of the dollars now coming in by way of new businesses coming on board are going directly back into mailbox count. We have increased our mailing routes and not our rates. Our goal is to hit 90k mailboxes here locally, without a rate increase to our advertisers. A win for our local businesses and a win for our locals here.
