Frequently Asked Questions
What is Island Mailer?
Island Mailer is a local advertising mailer that helps Hawaiʻi businesses get directly in front of nearby residents through a professionally designed 9x12 postcard delivered to homes in selected communities.
Each mailer features a limited number of local businesses, giving residents an easy way to discover and support trusted businesses in their area.
How much does it cost?
Island Mailer uses a simple flat per-ad-space rate for each mailer campaign — a fraction of what a solo mailer costs. Reach out for the current rate card.
This gives your business exposure to thousands of local households without the cost of mailing your own individual postcard.
What is included?
Your ad spot includes placement on the Island Mailer postcard, professional ad layout support, print production, and direct-mail delivery to the selected local mailing area.
We handle the design, printing, and mailing process so you can focus on running your business.
Do you design my ad?
Yes. We design your ad so it looks clean, professional, and on-brand.
You can provide your logo, photos, offer, contact info, website, social media, or anything else you have for our consideration. We'll help organize it into a strong, simple ad that is clear and easy for residents to respond to.
Can I choose my mailing area?
In most cases, yes. Island Mailer is organized by local market areas, such as North Shore Maui, Central Maui, West Maui, South Maui, and Upcountry Maui.
Available mailing areas may depend on the current campaign schedule and available routes. We'll help you choose the best fit based on your business, service area, and target customers.
What happens if my industry is already taken?
Island Mailer limits competing businesses in the same category whenever possible.
If your industry is already reserved for a specific mailer, we can place you on the waitlist, offer you a future campaign spot, or help find another available market area that makes sense for your business.
How do I reserve a spot?
You can reserve a spot by filling out the contact form on our website or contacting us directly.
Once we confirm availability, we'll review your business category, mailing area, ad materials, and campaign timing. Your spot is reserved once availability is confirmed and payment is completed.
How many homes will receive the mailer?
Each campaign is designed to reach thousands of local households within the selected mailing area. Some campaigns may reach up to 10,000 homes depending on the market and mailing route.
We'll confirm the estimated household count before each campaign.
What kind of businesses are a good fit?
Island Mailer is a great fit for local restaurants, cafés, service businesses, contractors, health and wellness providers, retail shops, family services, home services, auto services, and other businesses that want more local visibility.
The goal is to help residents discover and support businesses in their own community.
Can I advertise in more than one area?
Yes, depending on availability.
If your business serves multiple parts of Maui or multiple islands, we can discuss options for placing your ad in more than one market area or future campaign.
When will the mailer go out?
Mailer dates depend on the campaign schedule, design deadlines, print production, and mailing route timing.
Once your spot is reserved, we'll let you know the expected timeline and any important deadlines for submitting your business information, logo, photos, and offer.
About Island Mailer
Island Mailer was created on Maui with one simple belief: local businesses are the heart of island life, and marketing shouldn't be what holds them back.
After years of seeing Maui shops, services, and ʻohana-owned businesses struggle to afford effective advertising, we set out to build something better - a way to share the cost of a big, beautiful postcard so everyone could reach more local homes without burning their entire budget.
Island Mailer connects Maui businesses with Maui residents - no guessing with online algorithms, no fighting for attention in an endless feed. Just a giant "mailbox billboard" that lands in every hale that makes it easy for locals to find and support you.
When you join Island Mailer, you're not just buying ad space. You're joining a local movement to support small businesses while discovering the people and places that make this island special.
Island Mailer Gives-Back
A portion of profits from each Island Mailer is set aside to support local Maui causes. As we grow, so does the impact we can make together.
