Make sure your business connects with its target market--local families!
What's a Guide?
Guides are industry-specific directories that make it easy for parents to find information about family fun in the area. These guides are featured here on Macaroni Kid Central Jersey Shore, a free weekly newsletter and website for family-friendly events, parenting content, giveaways, business reviews, and more. Each guide covers services in Northern Ocean and Coastal Monmouth counties, covering towns such as Pt. Pleasant, Brick, Belmar, Wall, Bradley Beach, Ocean Township, and Eatontown. Guides only include businesses from towns we cover!
Affordable, Targeted Local Marketing
Each guide lists all businesses in the industry. Want customers to be able to quickly connect with your business? Buy an expanded listing or sponsor the guide.
- An expanded listing costs just $49 a year and includes your business name, contact information, 150-word blurb, and social media links. (Seasonal guides* are just $29 for the year.)
- Each guide has one sponsor. Sponsors receive an expanded listing plus their logo, 3 months of a sidebar ad that goes in the newsletter and on the website, a dedicated mention of their sponsorship in the guide, and social media call-outs as I promote the guide. This costs $299 for the year. Please contact me via email if you’re interested ASAP.
The annual listing is good from one year after the publish date. Each year, businesses will receive a reminder to renew their guide listing.
