Who this is for: Local business owners choosing between mail and social media

City Deals is a printed magazine sent to local homes. Facebook boosting is a digital service to show your posts to more people online. These two things work in different ways and are sold as separate items.

how the mail works

We print a physical magazine for areas like Kendall, Westchester, and Miami Lakes. About 10,000 homes is the number we advertise for each area. This is not a counted or measured delivery number. People see your ad when they check their physical mailbox.

The magazine is a physical product sent to South Florida homes.

Every ad in the magazine has two QR codes. One code shows a 30-second video of your shop. The other code shows your deal with buttons to call you or see a map. Customers use their normal phone camera to scan these codes.

how facebook boosting works

Facebook boosting is one of our extra services. It is not part of the mail package. When you buy this service, we help your post reach people on their phones. This happens inside the Facebook app rather than in a mailbox.
