Toronto neighbourhood advertising
Put Your Business in 5,000 Local Mailboxes.
Affordable neighbourhood advertising designed for local businesses. We combine a limited number of businesses onto one professionally designed mailer and deliver it directly to homes in your target community.

We Deliver It
Approximately 5,000 copies are printed and distributed directly to homes through Canada Post.
Why Gold Lion Media
Local advertising without paying for people you don't need to reach.
Many traditional direct-mail products cover very large geographic regions. For restaurants, dentists, realtors, landscapers, home-service companies, tutoring centres, salons and clinics, most customers come from nearby streets — not from across the city. We keep each distribution to one carefully selected neighbourhood so you aren't buying reach you can't serve.
Hyper-Local Reach
Target one defined neighbourhood rather than a massive region.
Only 15 Advertisers
Your business isn't buried inside a huge coupon booklet.
Affordable Exposure
Businesses share the cost of printing and distribution.
Professional Design
We make each advertisement visually strong and easy to understand.
Physical + Digital
Advertisers can use QR codes, custom offers and landing pages to generate measurable action.
Repeated Exposure
New editions are planned approximately every 6–8 weeks.
The Mailer
Designed to Get Looked At
Instead of looking like traditional classified advertising, each business gets an attractive, colourful feature designed to resemble the kind of visual content people are already used to seeing on social media.

Each mailer carries 16 feature spaces — approximately 15 local advertisers plus one Gold Lion Media community space. We limit the count on purpose so every business receives meaningful visibility rather than being buried in a thick coupon booklet.

Community Engagement
One space on every mailer belongs to the neighbourhood
Gold Lion Media plans to reserve one space on each mailer for community engagement, such as a local gift-card giveaway — for example, Win a $100 Local Gift Card. Residents scan a QR code to enter, which gives them a reason to look through the whole edition instead of discarding it.
That matters to advertisers: more time spent with the mailer means more eyes on your feature.
