For Old Toronto business owners

Put Your Business in 10,000 Old Toronto Mailboxes.

One oversized postcard. Up to 16 local businesses. Only one from each trade. You split the printing and postage with neighbours who don't compete with you, and everyone lands in every mailbox.

If this sounds familiar

You boosted a post. 4,000 people saw it. Nobody called.
You paid for Google clicks from people who live nowhere near you.
You got a flyer quote and thought, $5,000 to find out if this works? No thanks.

You didn't do anything wrong. You were paying full price for advertising built for someone else.

The most local ad there is goes in the mailbox

Every home on the street gets one. No algorithm decides who sees it. The problem has always been price, because mail is priced for one sender. So we split it.

  1. 01

    Reach homes, not feeds.

    A postcard lands in the actual homes on your streets. You choose the neighbourhoods.

  2. 02

    Share the cost, not the category.

    Up to 16 businesses split one postage bill. Only one from each trade.

  3. 03

    Make one offer.

    20% off. A free week. $50 off a first visit. One offer, big type.

  4. 04

    Measure it.

    Your ad gets its own QR code. You get a scan count instead of a gut feeling.

  5. 05

    Show up again.

    One mailing is a test. Month after month is how Old Toronto learns your name.

You could do all five yourself. Or take one spot and we do them for you.

Why we built this

GTA Spotlight is run by Imran Jimoh, a Toronto marketer who has led marketing for a 7-figure consulting firm and for companies that bring in clients for law firms and contractors. The businesses he worked with could afford serious marketing. The ones on his own street mostly couldn't. GTA Spotlight is the same reach the big advertisers buy, sized for the shops that make Old Toronto feel like home.
