WHY LIST?

Our goal is to give parents choices and to keep advertising affordable for businesses and non-profits! NorthSBCountyParent.com is the ONLY Family Resource centralizing everything for babies to teens in North County! The purpose of our website is to connect your organization with the community and to give you the best opportunity to reach your target market. We have the most affordable advertising locally and you get year-round presence so that parents can find you anytime and from anywhere.

BENEFITS

We are committed to giving families a quality site. We are equally committed to supporting the businesses and organizations listed on the site. Every family has different needs and every business offers something unique. One of the many benefits of advertising on NorthSBCountyParent.com is the personal attention you will receive. You can change the wording, images, and details of your listing at any time. We work with you to advertise your events, classes, and promotions.

NorthSBCountyParent.com is a great way to let families know about your business. Too many things in North County are known by word of mouth and parents get frustrated that they do not hear about the businesses they need at the time they need them. People also forget that many businesses & organizations offer more than one service.
Businesses listed on the site have the opportunity to post any and all family events on the Events Calendar.
We also have a Parent Perks page if you are interested in giving families a special offer to your business.
All businesses that do a listing on the site are mentioned in our e-newsletter (after we receive your contract) so that families know to look for you on the site. Your business name is also posted on our homepage for up to 2 weeks. We also add your Facebook page to our NorthSBCountyParent.com Fan Page as a FAVORITE.
If you have a website, parents can link to it for more detailed information. By going through NorthSBCountyParent.com, parents don't have to remember every website address.

MARKETING:

NorthSBCountyParent.com is pro-active with marketing in the community. We sponsor and participate in local events throughout the year. We distribute our marketing materials through local schools and PTA groups, through local non-profits and other outlets.

GETTING STARTED:

All you need to do to get started is to fill out the online contract on the site. We will get your information up right away and we will invoice you soon after. You can also pay immediately with your credit card through PayPal (see contract).
