Why advertise with us
Inboxes are crowded and easy to ignore. A mailbox isn't — and the numbers back that up.

Questions advertisers ask

How much does an ad cost?
Ads start at $425 per issue for a 1/6 page (2026 rates). Advertisers who commit to a longer run may qualify for better pricing. Request a quote and we'll send options that fit your budget.
Do you design my ad?
Yes. Design is included in your ad price at no extra charge. We can use artwork you already have, or we can design your ad for you — a logo is all we need to get started. Each quarter we update your coupons with new expiration dates. If you're a franchise with ads from corporate, we can work with those too.
Is the magazine mailed to every home?
Not every home in town, but nearly every home in the areas we cover. Each magazine is sent by USPS Saturation Mail, which delivers to the homes along the mail carrier routes we select in each community. That's about 20,000 homes per territory, mostly single-family homes plus some apartments.
Can an address be added to or removed from the mailing list?
Unfortunately, no. We mail by USPS Saturation Mail, which covers whole mail carrier routes instead of a hand-picked list of names. That's what provides the best coverage, but it also means we can't add or remove individual addresses.
Why Saturation Mail instead of Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM)?
EDDM drops a piece at every door on a route, including businesses and empty houses. Saturation Mail is addressed to the homes on each route from a current address list, so your ad goes to households. We also choose our routes carefully, focusing on the neighborhoods where our advertisers have seen the best response over the years.
Can I change my ad from quarter to quarter?
Yes. Many advertisers change their offer with the seasons. A landscaping company might promote holiday light installation in the fall, snow plowing in the winter, and lawn care in the spring and summer. Just send us the new offer before the ad deadline.
Do you limit competitors?
We don't sell exclusive categories, and some categories, like restaurants, will usually have several advertisers. We do keep each issue balanced, so you won't find five chiropractors in the same magazine.
What's the minimum commitment?
One quarter. We recommend running for at least a year, though, because readers get to know and trust businesses they see issue after issue.
How do I know if my ad is working?
Ask customers to bring in the coupon or mention it on the phone, and keep track of how many do. If you advertise in more than one territory, we can add a code to each ad so you can see which area responds best.
What kind of ad works best?
Every industry is different, but in general, the better the offer (or how good it looks to the reader), the better the response. For restaurants, buy-one-get-one offers usually get the most response. Some businesses skip coupons and advertise something like a happy hour. That's harder to track, but it keeps your name in front of local customers.
About Quarterly Advertising
I'm Jon Reemtsma, owner of Quarterly Advertising. I took over these magazines in 2026 after years of using them myself as a Maple Grove homeowner. The magazines have a long local history, and some of them have been mailing since the late 1990s. My background is in public accounting, but my family has deep publishing roots — my grandfather ran a sports and recreation magazine for 40 years. My goal is simple: keep these magazines reliable, local, and effective for small businesses while expanding into new territories like Rogers.
