806 Connect · Neighborhood Card
Reserve a spot in your category on the Neighborhood Card
You pick the neighborhood. We are opening the Neighborhood Card one route at a time, with one business per category, so no other business in your category shares your card. When a route fills, we plan to print it and mail it.
Reserving is free. Nothing is charged until your route is scheduled. A reservation is a request: your category is held only once we confirm it.
How it works
Tell us your neighborhood
Wolfforth, South Lubbock, Tech Terrace, wherever your customers are. You ask for a category from our list there: one Home Services business, one Lawn & Landscaping business, and so on per route, once confirmed.
See your tile first
Before anything prints or anything is charged, we show you your business name, logo and offer on the card layout.
It mails when your route fills
Once a route fills, we plan to mail it through USPS Every Door Direct Mail, which reaches every address on a carrier route with no mailing list. We tell you how many homes your route covers before it is scheduled.
Your listing keeps working
The QR code on your tile goes to your listing on 806Connect.com, not a throwaway card link, where neighbors can read your reviews and find how to reach you. Your neighborhood’s card also has a permanent web page, in English and Spanish.
Pricing
Your monthly rate depends on the route and your category. We send the exact price when we confirm your category is still open. Nothing is charged until your route is scheduled.
Standard Slot
Rate on confirmation
Your tile on one route, with your category kept to one business there once confirmed · QR code to your 806Connect.com listing.
Featured Slot
Rate on confirmation
Everything in Standard · your tile highlighted with the Featured label on the card’s web page.
Both tiers hold your category on your route while you are active, so no other business in your category appears on your route’s card.
FAQ
Isn’t a listing on 806 Connect already free? Why would I pay for this?
Your 806 Connect listing is free, and it stays free. The Neighborhood Card is a paid ad that puts your business in the mailboxes on a route, with no other business in your category on your card. Your free listing is where the card sends people.
How is this different from other neighborhood postcards?
A postcard ends up in the recycling. The QR code on your tile goes to your listing on 806Connect.com, a page that stays up and keeps collecting reviews for as long as you’re listed.
When does my card mail?
We are taking reservations now. A route prints once it fills, so the first areas to fill are the first to mail. Before your route is scheduled, we confirm the route, how many homes it covers, your tile and your rate with you. Nothing is charged before then.
Does reserving hold my category?
Not by itself. A reservation is a request that our team reviews. Your category is held on a route once we approve your slot, and only one business holds a category on a route at a time. If another business in your trade is already active there, we will tell you.
What if someone else in my trade already has my route?
Then that category is taken on that route while they’re active. Ask and we’ll tell you straight whether your category is open.
Can I pick any neighborhood?
Tell us where your customers are and we’ll plan a route there. We plan to mail through USPS Every Door Direct Mail, which delivers by carrier route, so we match your area to the carrier routes that cover it.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Once your route is mailing, it’s month to month with no long contract. If you leave, your category opens back up for the next business, so it’s worth deciding on purpose.
How exclusivity works
In plain terms, and only what the system really does.
The rule: one business per category, per route.
Our database allows only one approved business in a category on a route at a time. It is not a promise on a page: the system rejects the second one.
Reserving is a request, not a hold.
Your request goes into a pending queue and our team reads it. Your category is held once we approve your slot. If another business in that category is already approved on the route, we tell you.
Categories are broad for now.
You pick one from the list below. If two businesses in the same trade pick different categories, the system treats them as different, which is why we read every request before approving it. If a request would put two direct competitors on one card, we will tell you.
What it covers and what it does not.
Exclusivity covers the Neighborhood Card on that route. It does not remove anyone from the 806 Connect directory, search or the Wire: business pages stay free and open to everyone.
It is not a lock forever.
Your category is held while your slot is active. If you leave, it opens for the next business.

A seasonal edition of the Neighborhood Card. It starts on the web; it only prints if enough businesses in a neighborhood sign up. Join the waitlist and we will tell you first when spots open.
