Community Cards Are BLOWING UP - Here's How to Pick Your EDDM Routes in 10 Minutes

Community cards are the hottest trend right now! Jake's video got taken down for sharing too much value (I assume). Everyone's talking about it. Here's how to get started FAST using free tools to pick your routes in under 10 minutes.

What Are Community Cards?
Similar to 9x12 EDDM but smaller scale - 2,500 piece mailings targeting hyper-local neighborhoods. Lower price point, easier to fill, faster to execute. Same prospecting principles, just more focused geographic area.

The Biggest Roadblock:
Everyone asks "How do I pick 2,500 pieces? Where should I mail?" This stops people before they even start. I'm solving that problem right now.

My Solution - RouteSnip:
Free Chrome extension that makes route selection ridiculously simple:
Scrapes USPS EDDM routes with one click
Analyzes demographics automatically
Calculates costs based on current postage
Saves routes for easy reference while prospecting

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Install RouteSnip Chrome Extension
Go to routesnip.com, add free extension to Chrome browser

2. Visit USPS EDDM Website
Go to eddm.usps.com, enter your zip code, let routes populate

3. Copy All Routes with One Click
Hit the RouteSnip button to grab all route data instantly

4. Analyze in RouteSnip Pro
Click link to pro.routesnip.com (completely free to start, save up to 2 routes)

5. Hit the 2,500 Button
Automatically selects best routes for exactly 2,500 pieces
Shows average income, household size, mailing costs, business counts

6. Repeat for Multiple Zip Codes
Map your entire city in under 10 minutes
Print PDFs to carry while prospecting

Where to Target Community Cards:
City centers with restaurant clusters
New medical/dental office developments
High-income residential neighborhoods
Areas with brick-and-mortar service businesses

RouteSnip Pro Features:
FREE to start (save 2 routes no payment required)
2,500 piece button specifically for community cards
Residential-only filtering option
Average income analysis
Cost calculations with current postage rates
Printable prospecting sheets
Route numbers and sequences included

Why This Matters:
Route selection confidence prevents analysis paralysis. Print your summary sheet, walk around town prospecting with exact route data. No more guessing, no more spreadsheet headaches.

Beyond Route Selection:
Once you have routes picked, follow:
Mitch's A-Z community card process
Jake's video (when it's back up)
Dalton and Rachel's community card content

My Role in This:
I build tools to remove friction points. Route selection is the biggest mental block for beginners. RouteSnip eliminates that excuse in 10 minutes.

Real Example:
Used this exact process for my BNI 2,500 piece mailing. Added the 2,500 button specifically because I needed it myself. Now you can use it too.

Prospecting: Use Mitch's scripts and process

The trend is NOW - capitalize while it's hot

Just smaller, faster, lower price point
