Explanation:
This is pretty much a long shot. I'd ask the client. Perhaps someone else has faced this before and will be able to give you a definite answer.

call to action


Explanation:
This is marketing/advertising speak for the part of an ad/poster etc. where you ask the reader/viewer to do something. This fits perfectly with the leaflet as it's the part where they're asking people to report stores selling illegally to minors by calling the phone number or visiting the website.
