FAQ
Straight answers before you pay.
What does the $350 include?
Your category-exclusive placement, ad design, proofing, printing and mailing for the Founder’s Edition. There are no mandatory recurring charges.
How many residences will receive it?
The Founder’s Edition is currently planned for approximately 5,800 Clawson residences. Final quantity depends on the USPS carrier routes selected and will be confirmed before printing.
Will another business in my industry appear on it?
No. We accept one advertiser per category on each edition. Related services may be grouped into the same conflict category when they directly compete.
Can you hold my category?
We don't hold categories based on interest alone. When you click Claim, the category is held for you for about 30 minutes while you complete checkout; it becomes yours once payment is confirmed.
Do I need an ad already?
No. Send us your logo, business information and offer or message and we'll build it for you.
What if I already have artwork?
You can upload it after checkout. We'll review it for compatibility with the available placement.
Do I get to approve the ad?
Yes. You receive a digital proof before printing. Nothing goes to print until your advertisement has been approved.
How many revisions are included?
One revision is included. Changes required because of an error on our side do not count against your included revision.
Do you guarantee calls or leads?
No. We guarantee the agreed advertising fulfillment, not a specific business result.
What if nobody responds to my ad?
Advertising response can depend on your offer, category, timing, reputation and whether residents currently need your service. The purpose of the edition is local visibility and category-exclusive exposure, not a guaranteed response rate.
What if the Founder’s Edition doesn't happen?
If we cannot fulfill the Founder’s Edition by the outside fulfillment date stated at checkout, you may choose a full refund or transfer your payment to the next edition.
Is this a subscription?
No. Your $350 Founder’s Edition purchase is one time.
Will you automatically charge me again?
No.
Do I have to be located in Clawson?
Not necessarily. Your business must legitimately serve customers in the Clawson market.
Can I track anything?
We can include a trackable QR link in your advertisement. QR scans can provide one source of engagement data, but they should not be interpreted as every response generated by the mailing.
What happens after I pay?
Your category is secured as soon as payment is confirmed. We'll collect your ad materials in the next step, create your ad, send you a proof to approve, and keep you updated through printing and mailing.
Can I talk to someone?
Of course. Email hello@theclawsonlocal.com. A call is available if you need one, but it isn't required to purchase.
