FAQ & Why Choose VIZADZ

Why VIZADZ?

Social media for ads. Built for local creators, businesses, and event organizers.

Increase your sales & awareness

Our platform advertises for you — one post reaches the entire VIZADZ local discovery feed, surfacing your offer to people actively browsing for things to do in your city.

Stress-free content creation

Not a graphic designer? We've got you. Our in-house creative team will design polished ads for you on Business and 30-day plans — just send your assets, we'll handle the rest.

Analytics dashboard

Track impressions, saves, claims, and conversion in one place. We deliver the KPIs that actually matter to local businesses — not vanity follower counts.

Extra ROI through monthly bonuses

Subscribers automatically enter monthly giveaways: free spotlights, premium ad credits, partner cross-promotions, and surprise creator collabs.

Community support built-in

A portion of every paid post funds local charity initiatives in your city. Post an ad, support your neighbourhood — visibly, every month.

The VIZADZ Trust Promise

Every claimed VIZcode is a promissory note between you and the merchant. If the merchant breaks that promise, we make it right — automatically, no support ticket needed.

State 1
Claimed

Your VIZcode sits in your wallet. Bring it to the merchant by the expiry to use it.

State 2
Redeemed

The merchant scanned your code at POS. Deal honored, transaction complete.

State 3
Lapsed

The offer expired before you redeemed. No penalty — but your reliability score is computed from redeem/lapse ratio.

Why a voucher, not a refund? Customers never pay VIZADZ to claim a VIZcode — money only moves at POS between you and the merchant. The voucher model means you get gratification immediately at the merchant's till, with zero compliance overhead from us trying to be a money transmitter.

How VIZADZ works

Six steps to get from "I'm bored" to "I'm at the deal". And a few ways to connect with your community along the way.

STEP 01
Find your city

Pick from the 5 launch cities (Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton, Ottawa). The feed re-scopes to your city instantly. Switch any time from the navbar.

STEP 02
Pick an interest

Filter by category (food, beauty, nightlife, events, fitness, music…) or by offer type (Deal / Event / Live drop / Free / Creator exclusive). Follow specific creators or businesses to build your own personal feed.

STEP 03
Find an offer

Tap any card for the full deal: photos, video, location, sale price, dealer info, reviews, and the dealer's limits (how many uses per customer, total supply, transferable yes/no).

STEP 04
Save & claim VIZcodes

Save offers to Pinterest-style Collections, or tap 'Claim VIZcode' to lock in your spot. You get an alphanumeric code (e.g. KDX-2914) + QR. Use both — most dealers can scan either.

STEP 05
Apply the VIZcode with the dealer

In person at the till, at the event door, or by uploading the code on the dealer's own site / DMs. The dealer can hit /verify-vizcode to confirm you're under your usage limit before honouring the deal.

STEP 06
Earn streaks, gift extras, build rep

Every claim bumps your daily streak — unlock free posts, boost discounts, even a free VIP month. Maxed out a transferable deal? Pass it on to a friend. Dealers can rate you 1–5★ after a redemption, which builds your customer rep across the platform.

More community features: Referral program (coming), Pass-it-on gifts, Creator following, Saved boards, Mutual ratings. VIZADZ is a neutral platform — the dealer sets the deal terms; we just put you in front of each other.

Frequently asked

Three states cover the life of every VIZcode: 1) CLAIMED — you've reserved the deal; the code sits in your wallet until you redeem it. 2) REDEEMED — you showed the code to the merchant and got the deal. 3) LAPSED — the offer expired before you redeemed; no penalty, but your reliability score is computed off the redeem/lapse ratio. If you change your mind early, hit 'Release this claim' from your tickets — it returns the slot to the pool with no harm done.
