Print That Stays Up
An oversized 9 × 12″ map of Vermont with numbered pins. Side A is the map; Side B is the sponsor grid and category directory, cross-referenced by pin number so people use both sides.
For Vermont Outdoor Businesses
Get your pin on 10,000 Vermont maps.
Sending your own oversized postcard to 10,000 households costs well over $1,500 in print and postage alone. Vermont Unplugged pools around 20 local outdoor operators onto one map people actually keep — so a placement starts at $199.
The Idea
It's a field guide, not an ad circular.
Coupon mailers get thrown out at the mailbox. This is designed as an artistic, durable Vermont adventure map — the kind of thing that ends up on a refrigerator or a kitchen counter and gets looked at every time someone wonders what to do this weekend.

A QR Bridge To Digital
A prominent QR code sends readers to the live interactive map on VermontUnplugged.com — current conditions, hours, and direct booking links that a printed card can never keep up with.

SEO That Outlives The Mailing
Every placement includes a permanent, search-optimized page on this site. The mailer drops once; the page keeps earning organic search traffic long afterward.

Where your placement sits.
Side A is the map people keep. Side B is where the placements live — organized by category so it reads like a guide instead of a wall of ads.
