A Guide to Macaroni Kid League City/Clear Lake Business Directory
So you are living out your dream and became your own boss! Selling a product you love? Turned your passion into a business? Sharing your talent and helping others for a living? Congratulations! Owning a business can be both rewarding and challenging. Sometimes that challenge is a reward in itself. And sometimes it can be a bit much. There is a lot to learn when it comes to marketing, advertising, record keeping, management and more.
Macaroni Kid League City/Clear Lake hopes that our part in your business can be simple and beneficial. In order to help with the simplicity, we have created this outline of the guides we have available on our website. Use this list to decide where your business fits best. Our business directory is an affordable way to list your business in a location where parents are actively seeking information on items of interest to families.
Our guides have one simple pricing plan: $100 for a full year! That’s less than $9/month to have your business information (linked to your website) advertised to our over 4500 subscribers weekly. Each guide listed below receives an average of 350,000 impressions annually. And within that year, you are welcome to change your ad to suit the direction your business is headed. That is one of the perks of online advertising…it’s never set in stone.
So where does your business fit?
1. Work from Home Guide – this is our guide for direct sales reps who would like to grow their team. If one of our readers is trying to make a decision on which company to join, this is an excellent resrouce for them to hear why you have joined your company, what they can expect from the company, any specials you have to join and more.
2. Birthday Party Guide – When parents are planning a birthday party, they want to know where to order cakes, entertainment, venues, gifts and rentals. IF your business fits into one of these categories, you can list your specials and supply pictures of what you can offer parents in this handy guide.
3. Health, Wellness and Beauty Guide – Are you a hair stylist? Spa owner? Makeup artist? Do you sell cosmetics or health products? Fitness instructor or personal trainer? All of these would fit into our Health, Wellness and Beauty Guide.
4. Home Guide – This is our guide for all things home improvement. Cleaning, home repair or remodeling, murals, decorating and organization would all be great fits for the Home Guide.
5. Educational Directory – Daycares, tutoring, preschools, screenings and evaluations, and other classes would go in our Educational Directory. Parents often ask for recommendations in this area, so this is your opportunity to convey what makes your center stand out through sharing reviews, pictures and specials.
6. Mommy Made Guide – This guide is for moms who create and sell items, such as bows, embroidered items, handmade jewelry, invitations, wreaths and more. It also includes photographers and other arts.
