BENEFITS
We are committed to giving families a quality site. We are equally committed to supporting the businesses listed on the site. Every family has different needs and every business offers something unique. One of the many benefits of advertising on OrangeCountyParent.com is the personal attention you will receive. You can change the wording, images, and details of your listing at any time. We work with you to advertise your events, classes, and promotions.
- OrangeCountyParent.com is a great way to let families know about your business. Too many things in Orange County are word of mouth and parents get frustrated that they do not hear about the businesses they need at the time they need them. People also forget that many businesses & organizations offer more than one service.
- Businesses listed on the site have the opportunity to post any family events on the calendar.
- We also have a parent perks page if you are interested in giving families a special offer to your business.
- All businesses that do a listing on the site are mentioned in our monthly newsletter the month after we receive your contract so that families know to look for you on the site. Your business name is also posted on our homepage for up to 2 weeks.
- If you have a website, parents can link to it for more detailed information. By going through OrangeCountyParent.com, parents don't have to remember every website address.

OrangeCountyParent.com is pro-active with marketing in the community. Throughout the year, we do magazine ads, newspaper ads, phone book ads and we have links on many websites.
