St. Louis Kids is St. Louis' #1 Parent Resource! We reach a highly targeted audience of parents, grandparents, educators and others interested in the health, well-being and development of today's children. We reach hundreds of thousands of parents with every issue and through our Web site, and we are a trusted resource for parents who are deeply interested in quality parenting and local enrichment opportunities for their children.
Our readership is made up of serious consumers who are looking for the best resources and activities for their children. More than 95 percent of our readers are women, the majority of whom are married and about half of whom work full time. In addition, 91 percent of our readers are the primary shoppers for themselves, 88 percent are the primary shoppers for their children, and 88 percent are the primary shoppers for their households.
The highly targeted nature of our readership gives advertisers several advantages:
We appeal to parents who enjoy St. Louis' quality of life, top-rated schools and many opportunities for children. Your ad reaches this engaged audience with enhanced credibility. Research has shown that advertisements in targeted publications are seen as more credible than ads in general-circulation newspapers and magazines because they relate to the editorial content and are relevant to the publication's focus.
Our competitive ad rates and six-times-per-year print schedule offer a higher return on investment for every ad dollar spent. No longer will you have to pay high ad rates for a general-circulation publication. And, your ad keeps connecting to readers for months - not days or weeks.
St. Louis Kidsis the one resource for every household with children that contains relevant information in an easy-to-read format. It serves the needs of busy parents, and the businesses that cater to them. And advertisements in targeted publications are 50 percent more cost-effective than television and 70 percent more cost-effective than radio in selling products and promoting brands, according to a 2005 PPA study measuring the effectiveness of magazine advertising.
St. Louis Kids features high-quality original writing, interviewing local experts on all aspects of child-rearing and family life. In addition, our handy guides to events in the area, as well as directories of schools, resources for new and expectant parents, child wellness, child care, camps, the arts, enrichment classes, and other important family activities make St. Louis Kids an invaluable resource.Parents keep their copy of St. Louis Kids for reference.
