FAQ

Common Questions

What does it cost?
$200 for your ad in this issue β€” that's the whole commitment. As a founding sponsor your $200 rate is locked for your first 3 issues (this one and the next two) if you want them; everyone else pays $300. You only ever pay one issue at a time β€” no subscription.
Do I have to buy all three issues?
No. It's $200 for one issue β€” that's the entire commitment. The founding rate just means your $200 is locked for your first 3 issues if you choose to run again (others pay $300). You pay one issue at a time β€” no subscription, no $600 bill.
What makes a "Founding Sponsor" different?
Three things: the locked $200 rate for three issues, first pick of your category before anyone else, and a "Founding Sponsor" badge on your offer page at localbuzzclub.com that signals you backed the publication from day one.
How many businesses can share a category?
Only one. You get category exclusivity, so residents associate that service entirely with your business for the edition.
How many homes does the mailer reach?
Each edition is mailed to 2,500 Port Washington households across our selected neighborhoods β€” Harbor Acres, Baxter Estates, Flower Hill, and Port Washington North β€” delivered to every door on those USPS routes (about 8Β’ per home at the founding rate).
What does the QR code link to?
Your own mobile-optimized offer page (e.g. localbuzzclub.com/offers/yourname) with your offer, phone number, and a clear action button. We can see how many neighbors scanned and viewed your page, and you can update the destination without reprinting.
What happens right after I pay?
You'll land on a short intake page to tell us about your business and offer, and you'll email us your logo and a photo or two. We design your ad and offer page, then send a proof for your approval before anything prints.
When is the deadline?
Ad submissions for the Back-to-School Edition close July 7, 2026. Reserve early to guarantee your category is held.
