About Us
The BluCrate™ concept began in 1993 (under the name Promo-Pak) and has an 18-year history of success in providing local businesses with an advertising venue to reach every mailbox in their target market area at an affordable price.
The post office calls this “saturation mail” because every mailbox including single-family homes, multifamily units (such as apartments, town homes, and condos) and trailer homes are included. It is mailed every month so that consumers routinely recognize and look forward to receiving the BluCrate TM envelope with all of its special offers and promotions.
