America's Coupon Mailer - Franchise

About Us

In 2003 Edge Publishing started as Money in the Mail in Cottonwood, AZ when an entrepreneur, Randy Spate wanted a better way for local businesses to reach customers affordably and help their business grow. With over 20 years of experience in virtually every type of print media advertising, Randy found that Direct Mail is the best option for Return On Investment (R.O. I.) Randy knew that if a business owner was making money from their advertising they would continue advertising with him every month, without the need for long term contracts. This has been proven to be true with most of the Money in the Mail clients consistently advertising year after year. Willie Lass who has many years in sales and management, himself an entrepreneur went to work for Randy in 2009. Willie said: “Here we are in the middle of one of this Country’s worst recessions and our clients are sharing how well our coupon magazine is working and helping them survive and grow by bringing new customers and more money than anything they had previously done.” Willie was so impressed with this he purchased two territories from Randy in 2011 and both territories grew to where we are now publishing two 64 page books monthly mailing to almost 80,000 addresses. Randy sold his other two territories and retired. Mr. Lass purchased the Money in the Mail rights and began Franchising in 2016, changing the name to Edge Publishing for a more national appeal. Our successful business model and philosophy remains the same: We Don’t Sell Advertisement, We Help You Build Your Business! 

The concept provides high value, targeted advertising to local businesses looking to drive local customers. What makes the model so effective is that the majority of advertising platforms will take anyone and put any ad into the presentation. Our platform incorporates providing advertising and marketing guidance to the customer, helping with positioning the ad, structuring the content and organizing a presentation for them. We don’t just cut and paste, we professionally design and strategize with our clients in order to optimize the results of America’s Coupon Mailer response rates. This keeps the customers coming back and the ad pages full.
