Get In Front of People Who Plan Where to Spend
dotyear members are local and intentional. They plan their days in advance — and your business appears exactly when they're deciding where to go and where to spend. Your free listing is live. Now let's make sure they find you.
How It Works
Your business is geo-matched to members by zip code. When a member near you browses the Listings or Deals page, your listing and active promotions appear as a local option — ready for them to discover and engage on their own terms.
01
You've Already Created Your Free Listing
Your business profile is live in the dotyear Listings directory — organized by category and matched to nearby members by zip code. It's free forever. No credit card ever required.
02
Members Browse & Find You
Members browse the Listings and Deals pages. Your business appears as a local option and they can choose to open any offer you provide. When they tap your Revelation Card, the full promotion is revealed — on their terms, not as an ad.
03
Activate Your Promotions
Create a Promotional Revelation Card to promote a specific offer, or set up your Happy Hour schedule so members can plan around it. Your 20 free clicks are waiting — no payment needed to get started.
What Members See — The Revelation Card
Every promotion you create becomes a Revelation Card on the Deals page. Here's exactly how the experience works for members — and what it means for you.
👁
Before the Tap
Members browsing the Deals page see your card showing only your business name and your chosen promotional label (e.g. "Special Offer", "Flash Sale", "Members Only"). Nothing else is revealed yet — the card creates curiosity and intent before the member commits a click.
✦
After the Reveal
When a member taps your card, it opens fully — showing your full promotion description, start and end dates, and a "Save to Calendar & Daily" button. That button lets them pin your promotion to the exact day they plan to visit, placing your business name directly in their schedule.
📅
Saved to Their Day
When a member saves your card, your business name and offer appear on their Daily page and Calendar on the date they chose. This is direct, opt-in placement inside a member's personal planning system — not a feed they scroll past.
🎯
Who Sees Your Card
Your Revelation Card is shown to members whose zip code matches yours. Cards are filtered by date, location, and category — so every impression is a nearby member who is actively looking in your space.

⬡
When Clicks Run Out
Your card has a click limit — either your free 100 or the package you purchased. When the last click is used, your card automatically pauses. It disappears from the Deals feed until you add more clicks. You can top up at any time from your dashboard to resume immediately.
📅
When Your Card Expires
Every Revelation Card has an end date you choose. When that date passes, the card expires and is removed from the Deals page — even if clicks remain. Any remaining clicks stay in your balance and can be applied to your next card. You're never charged for unused clicks.
Ad Placements
Three targeted ways to reach members across dotyear. Pricing reflects real value — every click is an intentional reveal by a nearby member.
✦ Deals Page — Promotional Revelation Card
Revelation Card
Create a customized promotion card that members discover on the Deals page. Members see your business name and label before tapping — your full offer is revealed only when they engage. Each reveal deducts one click. Members can save your deal to their Calendar and Daily page, putting your business name on the day they plan to visit. You set the label, description, dates, and your card accent color.
