Most Importantly: Your Ad Gets Noticed!

When parents and grandparents pick up the Kids' Directory, they are discovering your business! They are not reading an article on the same page, and leaving us to hope that they notice your ad! Our readers won't get lost looking for your advertisement. Because we are A SHOPPING, PRODUCT AND RESOURCE GUIDE, not an article-based entertainment publication or craft-project newspaper, your product, event or service is the focus of their attention while reading the Kids' Directory! Our monthly guide is picked up by people who choose it, keep it and use it!

 

Color Sells!

The ads in the Kids' Directory are in full color at no extra charge. Independent research confirms it. Color increases reader attention span by up to 82%. Decision making improves by 70%. Reader retention increases by 78%. Get readers' attention and get your message out!

 

Quality Counts

The Kids' Directory provides attention-grabbing color ads printed on magazine-quality, glossy paper - Not Newsprint! Our experienced graphic designer can create an ad for you that will attract new customers.

 

High Ad Visibility

We are advertisement driven: your ad will not compete with articles for attention, and our readers are interested in learning about what you have to offer. Moms and Dads love it because it's easy to find, designed to be a quick read and it's always FREE!

 

Reputation

For over 21 years and in over 75 cities across the country, the Kids Directory has proven itself as the premier family resource guide, an established track record you can depend on. The Hampton Roads Kids' Directory is locally-owned and locally-published, providing quality service from ad concept to print and beyond. We want to build a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship with you - your success is our success! We have been in business for over 11 years in Hampton Roads.

 

Sized to Keep

The convenient digest size of our publication encourages the customer to slip it in their purse or bag, take it home, and keep it to use over and over.

Affordable Pricing
