The City Deals call button
The City Deals call button lets customers call your business directly from their phone screen after scanning the DEAL QR code in our magazine.
- The call button appears after scanning the DEAL QR code.
- It uses the phone's keypad to start a call immediately.
- Customers do not need to type your phone number.
- The button is part of the digital offer page.
- You must provide one phone number for this button.
Who this is for: Business owners using City Deals ads
The call button is a digital tool on your City Deals offer page. When a neighbor scans your DEAL QR code, they see your coupon and a button to call you. They tap the button to start a phone call to your shop instantly. This helps people reach you while they are looking at your services.
How the button works for neighbors
Every ad in our magazine has a DEAL code. A neighbor opens their phone camera and scans this code. Their phone opens a webpage that shows your business name and your special offer. On that page, they will see a button that says 'Call' or shows a phone icon.
When the customer taps that button, their phone automatically pulls up your number. They do not have to look at the paper to remember the digits. They just press one button to talk to you. This makes it easier for people in Kendall, Westchester, or Miami Lakes to book an appointment.
Setting up your phone link
We set up this button for you when we build your ad. You choose one phone number for the button to dial. You can use your main office line or a cell phone. You can contact us to update this number before the next mail date.

What the neighbor sees
The call button is part of a simple menu. Next to the call button, there is usually a button for maps. This helps them find your shop location. There is also a button to show the deal to your staff. These tools work together to help you get more people through your door.
