Why the Mailbox Still Beats the Algorithm

Every digital platform fights for a fraction of a second of attention. The Gazette lands in the hands of homeowners who opened it themselves — and keeps their attention.

80–90%
Open Rate — Direct Mail
Compared to 20–30% for email marketing. Physical mail gets opened because people are curious about what arrived — not trying to clear a notification.

Facebook Organic Reach
Even if you have 2,000 Facebook followers, your posts reach 40–120 of them. The Gazette reaches every household it's addressed to — no algorithm required.

Response Rate — Household Lists
