The center square auction
Bid on the center square of a mailer, one Issue at a time. Tick the terms box with your bid; there is nothing separate to sign.
The center square is the 40th place on the mailer, in the middle. Businesses bid for it, one Issue at a time.
It opens on its own
Every mailer's center square auction opens automatically. Bidding closes at that Issue's print deadline. The Bid on center sheet shows the date.
Bid in the app
- Open the Mailer tab and tap Bid on center.
- See the high bid and the lowest bid you can place (Next bid from or Bids start at).
- Type your bid.
- Tick the box: you agree to the Sent by Moe Participant Agreement, and your bid is binding. If it wins, you pay it for this one Issue.
- Tap Place bid.
The sheet shows where you stand: You're the high bidder, You've been outbid or You won. Moe emails you when another business bids higher.
Who can bid
Any active business on Moe can bid on any mailer's center square. Ticking the box when you bid is your agreement, the same as at checkout. There is nothing separate to sign.
If you win
Tap Pay on sentbymoe.com and pay by the date shown. Once it is paid, your business is listed in that town's directory on sentbymoe.com, the same as a paid spot for that Issue. A listing that does not pay a winning bid in time cannot bid on that Issue again.
