We're making improvements! Check Bee Connected out on the new page- beeconnectedspotlight.org

Our local love letter— sent by mail. It’s a big, beautiful Every Door Direct Mail® (EDDM) campaign featuring non-competing local businesses, a nonprofit we love, and adoptable pets in Boulder County, CO. (But you don’t have to be in Boulder County — we can feature you in a spotlight in your own area!)

The Bee Connected Community Spotlight is a true team effort — but it only works because of the businesses who participate.

When a business chooses to be part of the Spotlight:

• Their ad space helps cover the cost of printing and mailing the postcard.
• That funding makes it possible to give nonprofits free space.
• It also lets us feature adoptable pets who need loving homes.

In short: without businesses, there would be no Bee Connected.

Businesses aren’t just advertising — they’re fueling a ripple effect that supports nonprofits, helps pets, and strengthens the community. Every ad spot is more than marketing; it’s a piece of the bigger picture.

We chose the name Bee Connected because bees are nature’s ultimate connectors — they work together, support their hive, and help everything around them bloom.

That’s exactly what we want to do:

• Connect local businesses with the communities they serve
• Connect nonprofits with new supporters and resources
• Connect adoptable pets with loving forever families

Just like bees, when we each play our part, our whole community thrives.

What Bees Symbolize

Bees have always been more than little buzzing pollinators—they’re powerful symbols that inspire us to live with purpose, community, and care. From their teamwork in the hive to the sweetness they create through hard work, bees remind us of the beauty in collaboration, persistence, and connection. Here’s what these tiny powerhouses represent:

Community & Cooperation

Bees are known for their teamwork — each one plays a role that supports the hive.
They symbolize unity, collaboration, and collective success, showing what’s possible when everyone contributes their part.

Hard Work & Dedication

Bees work tirelessly, often seen as a symbol of diligence, productivity, and perseverance.
They remind us that small, consistent efforts create something sweet and lasting.

Connection & Harmony

Because bees pollinate, they connect plants, flowers, and ecosystems — keeping everything in balance.
They represent interconnectedness, harmony, and the ripple effect of small acts of care.

Abundance & Growth

Bees transform effort into honey, symbolizing reward, abundance, and the fruits of hard work.
They reflect the idea that when we nurture our community, everyone thrives.

Local businesses who want affordable, meaningful marketing. Nonprofits doing great work. And pets who are ready for forever homes.

Each campaign reaches 100% of your audience (no algorithms, no guesswork), builds brand trust in the community, and keeps the process hassle-free. Plus, every edition supports a local nonprofit. And the best part? Upfront, all-inclusive pricing with zero surprises.

Social Media: No guaranteed reach. Views don’t always equal sales. Targeting is limited. Costs jump around. Design isn’t included. Your ad is fighting memes, reels, and cat videos for attention. And worst of all? You’re stuck cranking out new content nonstop just to stay visible.

Newspaper/Magazine Ads – Not targeted, higher cost, limited lifespan, and no design included. Your ad gets buried in pages and drowned out by competitors.

Standalone Mailers –Solo and exclusive—your message doesn’t share the spotlight. But that exclusivity comes with a price tag, averaging $1.50+ per piece. They’re targeted and delivered, sometimes even hand-delivered, making them best suited for high-value industries like real estate, healthcare, or luxury services.

Nope! We can run Bee Connected nationwide. Just fill out the Interest Form and we’ll work out the details with you.
