| Here's what our advertisers are saying: |
When I shopped around a year ago for a viable advertising option I knew that KC Kids' Directory was my best bet. As an independent distributor with a home-based business I do not have an "advertising budget". KC Kids' Directory is a beautiful publication that catches peoples attention AND they hold on to it! I get several calls a month from my ad. I've brought on two new team members and earned several new customers. The benefits of being an advertiser comes with an opportunity to network monthly with other local business owners with the same targeted market. I couldn't be happier and see the minimal monthly amount as an investment in my direct sales business!
Amy Swaminathan, Homemade Gourmet Independent Distributor |
I am a mental health therapist that works with children and families. I have advertised in other publications before and I have not had good results. I am averaging about 1-3 calls a week related to the KC kids directory. This is by far the best advertising investment I have made. The staff have been extremely helpful and when you advertise with them you get more than just an ad. You get postings on their calender, listed on the radio, and they pass out my information when they are doing networking. The KC kids directory has been a business saver.

Our company has been using many types of advertising over the past 29 years here in Kansas City. The KC Kid's Directory is an advertising source that has produced tremendous results for us. Shawna at the KC Kids Directory makes advertising easy with her follow up and attention to detail both to the actual ad and the networking available in the community.

I have been advertising with Kansas City Kids Directory since it started in the Kansas City area. Response to my ads has increased each year and helped my business to grow. I have had great service from the staff. They are quick to respond to my questions and wonderful to work with in getting my ads ready for print. I highly recommend the Kansas City Kids Directory for your advertising needs.

I own a small, upstart portrait studio with an even smaller budget. The KC Kids Directory is the only advertising I use. It is the best deal out there - bar none. It pays for itself every month. I am constantly running in to people who say "I saw your ad in the Kansas City Kids Directory"
The prices are so much better than anyone else in town........I love the choices in size and the fact that FULL color is no extra charge!
I highly recommend it to anyone looking to advertise their new business or to expand on advertising they already have.
I am a mother of 2 young boys so I also see the KCKD from a mom's point of view. It is an excellent (if not the best) resource for day cares, studios, classes in the arts, Boutiques, tons of fun activities for kids of all ages and SO MUCH more. I tell any new parent or new family in town to check out the KCKD! It has all kinds of things to do and places to go that you may not have heard about anywhere else!

We have been very, very happy with both the response we receive from our advertising as well as the professionalism of this company. The graphic artist on staff is phenomenal - very creative and responsive to our needs. Shawna is just awesome! I highly recommend advertising with the Kid's Directory. It's well read and definitely brings in business!

I run a business designed to help families find time and financial freedom and overall wellness that they deserve, and The Kids Directory is my number one resource to help me find more people to help. I trust The Kids Directory so much, that I do business with them in a dozen different states. I of course love to use the guide myself having 3 children of my own and one on the way. I'm always finding great resources in the Kids Directory!!!
