Who this is for: local business owners running mail ads
When a neighbor scans your ad, their phone opens a web page. They see your 30-second video or your special offer. The phone camera does all the work. It is a fast way for customers to find your shop.
The two paths for customers
Every ad has two different codes. One code is for a video. The other code is for the deal. People choose what they want to see first. People scan the code that looks most interesting to them.
What the video code shows
The VIDEO code opens a short clip. It is usually 30 seconds long. It shows your business in action. This helps people trust you before they visit. They see your face, your staff, or your work.
What the deal code shows
The DEAL code opens a page with your offer. It has a big button to call you. It has another button to show a map to your shop. People can save the deal on their phone to use later.

No app required
Customers do not need a City Deals app. We do not have an app for them to download yet. They just use the tools already on their phone. This makes it easy for older neighbors to use the codes too.
Track your own results
You can ask customers to show you the screen when they arrive. This helps you know they came from the magazine. About 10,000 homes is the number we advertise for each area. You can contact us to see how the codes look.
