Campaigns and coverage
What is Tampa Front & Center?
Tampa Front & Center is the shared-mail program from ZipStrike Marketing. Multiple non-competing local businesses advertise on one large-format postcard delivered to selected residential routes.
Where are campaigns delivered?
ZipStrike currently focuses on Tampa Bay. Every active campaign includes a Mapbox coverage view and approximate household reach based on routes hand-selected by ZipStrike.
When will the postcard mail?
Mailing status is campaign-specific. Purchasing a placement secures inventory, but it does not trigger an immediate mailing.
Placements
How do I choose a placement?
Open the active campaign, choose Front or Back, and select any open spot. Pricing appears after a valid selection.
Can I purchase more than one spot?
Yes. Add directly adjacent spots in the same row to create a double, triple, or full-row placement.
What do Open, Reserved, and Sold mean?
Open placements can be selected. Reserved placements are temporarily held during another checkout. Sold placements have been purchased.
Category exclusivity
What does category exclusivity mean?
Only one business from each approved category may participate in the same campaign.
What if my business fits more than one category?
Choose the primary service promoted in the advertisement. Contact ZipStrike before purchasing when the correct category is unclear.
Payment and reservations
How long is my selection held?
The complete placement and selected category are held for five minutes while you check out.
Do I pay a deposit or the full price?
Full payment is required to secure the placement and category.

Artwork and production
What is included?
Custom design, ad copywriting, offer guidance, artwork cleanup, revisions until approval, a dynamic trackable QR code, QR scan analytics, printing, postage, and mailing are included.
Do I need finished artwork before purchase?
No. Secure the placement first, then submit materials or ask ZipStrike to prepare the advertisement.
Can I request changes?
Yes. Revisions are included until written final approval.
Policies
Can I cancel or request a refund?
Yes, but the amount depends on production progress. A purchase is fully refundable before custom design work or outside costs begin. After design begins and before written final approval, 50% is refundable. After written approval, file release, printing, postage purchase, or mailing, the purchase is nonrefundable. If ZipStrike cancels and cannot provide an acceptable replacement campaign, you receive a full refund. Read the complete Cancellation and Refund Policy.
Are advertising results guaranteed?
No. Household reach is approximate, and ZipStrike does not guarantee calls, leads, sales, scans, or return on investment. Read the Advertising and Results Disclaimer.
