Why City Deals print has to look like your shop
Your print ad must match your shop so customers recognize you. It builds trust when the video and deal they see on their phone looks like your store.
The essentials
- Customers trust ads that look like the real store.
- Photos in the magazine should match the video code.
- The deal code shows your map and phone number.
- We plan to mail to about 10,000 homes per area.
- Consistent colors help people find your shop faster.
Who this is for
Local business owners designing their first mail ad
Your print ad is the first thing people see in their mail. It must look like your shop so neighbors know who you are. If the colors and photos match your store, people trust your business more. This helps them decide to visit you.
Matching your shop to the mail
We plan to mail a magazine to homes in Kendall, Westchester, and Miami Lakes. Planned reach: about 10,000 homes per area. Confirm coverage and the next mailing with our team. When someone gets the mail, they see your brand. You want them to feel like they are standing in your shop.
Connecting print to your phone codes
Every ad has two QR paths for a phone camera. One is a VIDEO code that shows a 30-second video. The other is a DEAL code with your offer. If the print ad looks different from the video, customers get confused. Keep your logos and colors the same on the paper and the screen.
- Use a photo of your actual storefront
- Pick the same colors as your shop sign
- Show your staff in their work uniforms
- Use the same logo that is on your door
- Make sure the deal matches your in-store price
How customers use your ad
People scan the codes with a normal phone camera. We do not have an app yet. They look at the video to see what your shop is like inside. Then they use the deal code to find your map. If the ad looks like your shop, they will know they are in the right place when they arrive.
