On the cards
Marketing you can hold, handed to people ready to spend.
Minicards put your offer in front of millions of visitors a year, at the exact moment they are choosing where to go and what to do across the GTA.
Why Minicards work

An ad they carry in their pocket beats one they swipe away.

Travelers arrive ready to spend and looking for what to do next. A Minicard meets them at that exact moment, then sticks around in a wallet until they redeem it.

01 / Intent

A ready-to-spend audience

Visitors pick up your card at the hotel desk, the lobby rack and the welcome pack, right when they are deciding where to eat, shop and explore.

02 / Staying power

Print that earns its keep

A Minicard is a physical reminder, not a banner that scrolls by. It gets carried, shown to a server and handed over at the till.

03 / Included

Print plus digital, no extra cost

Every advertiser gets a free web page on our travel site with your photo, a short description, your contact details and a link straight to your site.

04 / Targeting

You choose the crowd

Place your card in the categories and neighborhoods that match your customers, from food and drink to tours, attractions and shopping.

Physical vs digital

Why a card in hand beats an ad in a feed.

Same goal, very different staying power. Here is how a Minicard holds up against a typical digital ad.

A Minicard

  • Picked up by hand and kept in a wallet
  • Seen again every time they reach for it
  • Handed over and redeemed in person
  • In front of a visitor who came to spend
vs

A digital ad

  • Scrolled past in under a second
  • Gone the moment the feed moves on
  • Competing with everything else on screen
  • Easy to block, skip or ignore

Do I get anything online?
Yes. Every advertiser gets a free web page on our travel site with your photo, description, contact details and a direct link to your website.
Can I track results?
Your card can carry a QR code or a promo code, so redemptions are easy to count and tie back to the program.
