How a flyer run works
Real paper.
Real walked drops.
Every run is a suburb-targeted print drop on the same paper stock as our editorial. Written by the publisher in the publisher's voice. Walked street-by-street with a return report showing the addresses covered. No driveway dumps. No "delivered" claims without proof.

The local sparky on the back of this card has signed the Need A Trade Code of Conduct and been independently vetted by the publisher — licence, certificate, deposit policy, warranty layers, edge-case pricing, all documented.

What a run includes
Six pieces. Fixed scope.
Code-signed vetting
Before anything prints: Code of Conduct signed, licence checked on the regulator register, COCs reviewed.
Editorial copywrite
Your vetted credentials translated into publisher voice. You approve the proof before print — no edits past sign-off.
Design + typeset
Same masthead, same Fraunces + Inter as the guides. The flyer reads like a publication, not an ad.
Heavy uncoated stock so it feels like the editorial. DL or A5 depending on suburb.
Walked distribution
Street-by-street walk by accountable distributors. GPS-tracked route. No driveway dumps.
Return report + public ledger
Map of streets covered, drop count, return-to-sender count. Run logged in our public ledger by suburb & trade.
The exclusivity rule
One trade per category, per suburb run.
We don't auction the same suburb to four competing electricians. The whole product collapses if we do. So each suburb run carries one trade per category — one electrician, one plumber, one painter — chosen on Code-signing order and verification pass, not on the bid.
If your suburb category is already taken, we tell you on application and add you to the waitlist for the next available cycle. If you're the first to clear vetting in your suburb, that's the run we print.
It's slower than a marketplace. It's also the only version of this that doesn't turn into one.
