October 11, 2023

The holidays are 2 months away (but WHO IS counting?!?) and Macaroni Kid subscribers are already looking for that special gift for their family, friends, teachers, and colleagues.

This year let's make it all about supporting our local businesses! We have been supporting local businesses for years and give them an opportunity to reach YOU, our readers (thousands of local families) each week. We know the past couple of years have taken a toll on small businesses, so we are offering a very special deal. Get your business listed in our 2023 Holiday Guide with this early bird special for only $20.23 if you sign up by November 1, 2023. After November 1 the rate will go up to $75. You can get your business in the spotlight for this holiday season. For just $75 you can keep this listing for a year - through October 31, 2024. See details of all options HERE. ASK me how you can even get a free listing into 2024!

Macaroni Kid is publishing the Ulitmate Holiday Guide starting November 22. If you have a business (large, small, on-line, home-based), then you'll want to get in on this! Advertise your holiday events and deals in the spotlight this holiday season through Macaroni Kid. This guide gives busy MK parents a chance to check off some holiday shopping while supporting local businesses. Please share this opportunity with your friends and the owners of your favorite local businesses. 

Here is a brief description of what is included:

  • listing in the Holiday Gift Guide, which lists all of your pertinent information, plus up to 3 images, and products or services you'd like to promote for the holidays. 
  • listing in the Guide on Mac Kid, which will run continuously from November 22 - December 31, 2023.
  • an ad on the Mac Kid website that leads to the business directory (where all your information will be) when clicked.
  • inclusion in the business directory all next year - 2024.
  • featured on the Macaroni Kid Facebook page

You will also have the option for review and giveaway in addition to your business listing in the Holiday Gift Guide. Doing this will give you your own lead article. Item needs to be approved at the discretion of Mac Kid publisher. This is on a first come first serve basis. There are only so many weeks to run giveaways so get in touch with me now!

This is a great way to increase your presence in the community and a wonderful, inexpensive way to advertise! What can you advertise? Here are some ideas:

  • Special holiday gift card giveaways (ex.: buy $25 worth of gift cards, get $5 free)
  • Black Friday and Cyber Monday specials
  • Christmas deals and sales
  • Christmas gifts for the family
  • Stocking stuffers
  • Winter-related services
  • New products

The 2023 Holiday Guide is a unique opportunity to reach a very targeted audience. This is a wonderful way to advertise your business for SIX WEEKS to thousands of local families. Businesses will be listed by order received in the guide and in our bonus directory spot alphabetically. 

If your business is looking to really invest in our audience, then we have more options for maximum exposure and can put a full campaign together for you. We have campaigns to fit every budget.

If you would like your business to be included please fill out this form.  

*Home based businesses please note--I will only accept ONE consultant/rep per company (one Mary Kay rep, one Thirty-one rep, etc.), and this will be on a first-come basis. I will, however, accept multiple companies who are offering a different product (Stella and Dot, Premier Jewelry, Silpada, etc). You must complete the form in order to secure your spot.
