Your business and offer appear on the online Family Safety Guide page that the postcard's QR code opens, for the whole season.
Results you can see
After the run you get the visit and signup counts from the postcard's QR code and link.
How the guide handles a sensitive topic
- It's a family safety guide, not an offender flyer. The lookup tool is one feature inside it.
- The postcard never names, pictures or locates any registrant, and is never targeted at one person's neighbors.
- Your logo is never placed under a headline about offenders.
- Every card says NearbyOffenders.com is independent and not affiliated with the Illinois State Police.
How it works
- Ask about a slot with the form below. We confirm your category is open and send the details.
- Send your logo and text. You approve a proof of the postcard before anything prints.
- We print when the run is full. No run goes to print until every slot is paid. If a run doesn't fill, your payment is refunded or moved to the next run, whichever you prefer.
- Get your results about 30 days after the mail date.
