Why The Pigeon
Digital disappears. Good mail gets handled.
Local businesses do not need another place to shout. They need a well-made reason to be noticed, remembered, and kept close by the households most likely to use them.
Designed to earn a place in the home.
The edition is built to feel useful and considered, so it can live on a counter, desk, or refrigerator instead of heading straight to the bin.
Selected for local fit, not empty reach.
Routes and targeted households are chosen around neighborhood, homeownership, and buying power rather than raw volume alone.

Who fits the edition
Built for businesses a household can actually use.
The strongest partners serve local homeowners and families, have a reputation worth protecting, and can give the reader a clear reason to respond.
The Pigeon is curated. Category availability alone does not guarantee placement. The goal is a useful, credible mix of businesses the neighborhood is glad to receive.

People do not need another ad following them around. They need a good local name to remember when the need finally appears.

Common questions
Before you send the bird.
Clear expectations make a better edition for the business and the household receiving it.
How many homes receive each edition?
The founding model combines neighborhood saturation routes with a targeted homeowner list. The working launch figure is 7,500 homes per edition and may shift slightly as final routes are selected.
Can another business in my category appear?
No. The Pigeon reserves one business per practical category in each edition. Closely overlapping services are reviewed before a placement is approved.
Do I need to design my advertisement?
No. You provide your logo, photos, priorities, and offer. The Pigeon develops the ad direction and creates the print-ready placement for your approval.
Does every ad need a coupon?
No. A strong offer can help, but the piece is not positioned as a coupon sheet. Your message may focus on a useful service, seasonal need, introduction, appointment, event, or simple reason to remember you.
Can I reserve more than one edition?
Yes. Repeat partners can plan rotating creative and maintain their category across multiple neighborhood editions, subject to the edition schedule.
