Who is Professor Pelican and the Pelican Pals?
Professor Pelican is a veteran, business owner, and community storyteller whose mission is to help families feel confident on their real estate journey while building stronger, more connected neighborhoods. Through a boutique marketing firm that specializes in creative real estate branding, Professor Pelican focuses on the values that matter most: Education, Community, and Caring.
The Pelican Pals are a group of playful, uplifting characters who represent the heart of our mission. Punky the Pelican, one of our most beloved pals, was inspired by the joyful spirit of a dear friend whose humor, kindness, and brightness continue to light our path. Punky embodies the idea that even in difficult times, we can lift each other up, stay connected, and create positive moments together.
Pelican Pals Community Magazine brings these values to life. Instead of traditional advertising, we create fun, memorable stories that families enjoy and keep. Local businesses become part of the narrative and part of the neighborhood experience, helping residents discover trusted services in a meaningful, creative way.
Professor Pelican believes a strong community is one where neighbors help neighbors, businesses support families, and everyone feels empowered to build stability and opportunity through real estate. The Pelican Pals are here to make that journey friendly, welcoming, and full of heart.
-The story propels everything we do, and we invite you to coast along the journey with us!

FAQs
All You Need to Know to Get Started
How do I know this works?
Absolutely. Pelican Pals is different from coupon books or mass-mailers.
We tell a story that families actually read, keep, and talk about. Our magazines go only to neighborhoods with average incomes above $100,000 and home values over $500,000; so your message is reaching households that can afford your services.
Your business is placed inside a fun, memorable story, not lost in a stack of coupons.
Families keep us on the counter, not in the trash.
Why is this better than valPak, Trend, or RSVP?
Great question.
Those mailers send advertising to everyone, including renters and low-income apartments. Most go straight to the trash.
Pelican Pals is targeted.
We mail only to higher price-point neighborhoods like The Ponds and Legend Oaks.
And instead of being “just another ad,” your business becomes part of a story that children share with parents and that families and friends share with each other, creating brand recall no coupon book can match!
Plus, our rates are kinder on your budget.
What if I don’t have artwork or branding ready?
No problem at all! We can design everything for you.
You can upload your logo or check a box that says:
“Build my ad from my website.”
Our team will create your ad layout, send a proof within 48 business hours, and you can request edits before the issue goes to print
Can I cancel if I need to?
Yes.
You may cancel at any time before your design call or before the 20th for the upcoming issue.
We believe in being easy to work with! No pressure, no confusion.
What if I want to advertise in multiple neighborhoods?
Even better!
Pelican Pals advertisers receive first choice of placements in future neighborhoods and are eligible for discounts when available.
Do I need to commit for several months?
No long-term commitments.
You can join for just one issue, or stay with us as long as you are getting great results. Most businesses stay because we build real community visibility month after month.
What is included in the Premier Package?

You will receive automated emails guiding you through each step.
What if I want to approve the final ad?
You always approve your ad before printing.
Our team sends your proof within 48 business hours. You can request edits, refinements, or alternate layouts. We do not print anything without your approval.

We close each issue to advertisements on the 20th of the month.
Proofs must be approved by the 30th, and magazines are mailed within 1-2 weeks after.
