Why Takeout Trader  vs. Facebook ads or mailers:

• FB ads are short-lived, mailers get trashed almost immediately, menus last months/years

• No digital ad fatigue — people aren’t “scrolling past” a menu

• Trusted association with a local restaurant

• For about a $1/day for guaranteed year-round visibility

We partner with select local restaurants to put your full-color ad directly on their takeout menus. These menus go out with every order, sit on counters, and get tucked into kitchens, offices, and glove boxes — meaning your business gets seen over and over again for an entire year.

Only a maximum of 12 businesses allowed per menu — and just one per category. That means no clutter and no competing ads for the same type of business, ever. Your spot is 100% exclusive.

Every ad runs for 12 full months, giving you consistent, repeated exposure all year long — far more effective than one-and-done ads or mailers.

Mailing 10,000 postcards costs $2,300–$6,000 — and they’re in the trash within days.
With Takeout Trader, you get the same reach for about a dollar a day, and your ad stays in circulation for an entire year. We keep costs low by printing menus in bulk and partnering with restaurants to cover distribution.

They get 10,000 free full-color trifold takeout menus and 100 free in-house menus printed on virtually indestructible nylon.
We handle the design, printing, and delivery — they pay nothing as long as they remain a partner.

Absolutely. Many advertisers double their exposure by securing spots in both restaurants in the same campaign — reaching twice the customers instantly!

Nope — we’ll design a professional, eye-catching ad for you at no extra cost, or work from your existing artwork if you already have one.

A takeout Trader liaison will contact you, we will then we’ll confirm and lock in your spot, and get your ad into the hands of 10,000+ local customers for the next 12 months.
