Izadex — A Monster Business Card Directory
IZadex Printed Directory

More Than a Home Directory.

For anyone buying, selling, fixing, remodeling or improving a home.

The Izadex Printed Directory puts real local business cards into a simple, easy-to-use publication people can pick up, bring home and keep. It connects Rhode Island consumers with the businesses they need before, during and long after a home project.

Why Local Businesses Belong in the Printed Directory

Being part of the Izadex Printed Directory gives a local business something digital advertising alone often cannot: a physical presence in the hands of people actively looking for products and services.

Izadex is built around a simple idea — real business cards, organized by category, presented in an easy-to-use local directory. For participating businesses, that means their name, logo, contact information and brand are placed directly in front of Rhode Island consumers who may be buying, selling, fixing, remodeling or improving a home.

Unlike a fleeting social-media post or online ad, the printed directory is designed to be picked up, brought home and kept. A homeowner may not need a plumber, landscaper, realtor, painter or kitchen contractor today, but when the need arises, the directory is already there.

The business-card format also creates familiarity. People recognize logos, colors and card designs quickly, making the directory feel personal and local rather than anonymous or overly commercial.

Participation can extend beyond print. Izadex connects the printed directory with its online business-card directory, giving businesses another way to be discovered and making it easier for consumers to find current contact information.

For a local company, the benefit is straightforward: more visibility, stronger recognition and another opportunity to be found at the moment a customer needs help.

What the Directory Looks Like Inside

Each printed page is organized by category and built around the actual business cards of participating companies. A standard interior page uses two category columns with up to five business cards in each column — ten cards on a page — so readers can scan quickly and recognize businesses visually.

The sample shown here uses real business cards in Kitchen & Bath and Landscaping, closely representing the format planned for the new directory.
