Call it a deal book, a downtown savings pass, a sip-and-save card, or a merchant coupon trail — this guide walks through selling a seasonal pass to member-business deals with a program.
Best for main streets and downtown associations turning member-business deals into revenue — a "Downtown Deal Book" people buy once for the season.
Create a program named for the season — say Downtown Deal Book 2026.
Add a cover photo and a description that lists a few of the best deals — this page is your sales pitch.
On Who Can Join, click Add a Level → Ask for payment and set a one-time price ("$10 for the season").
On What's Included, add your deals map and tick the paid level's pill on it. Add your parking or general downtown map too and leave it unticked — it reads Open to everyone, so the page is useful before anyone pays.
On two or three teaser deals, turn on Show in Free Preview when editing the place — visitors see those pins before joining, which sells the rest.
Put the join page link and a QR code on posters at participating businesses.
When someone buys, they're in your contacts and the program's audience — perfect for a "new deals just dropped" message mid-season.
Beyond the pass: the buyers list is the real prize. Mid-season, send your members a “three new deals just dropped” note from Audiences — it re-activates the pass and gives businesses a reason to stay in next year.
