I spent 16 years in marketing before having my family, so understand the pressures on budgets and the need to squeeze every possible response (and more importantly every possible sale!) out of the advertising you choose. Fun Under Five is designed to meet the needs of advertisers as well as meeting the needs of families. I recognise that none of my clients are able to spend their marketing budget without careful thought. Here's a quick guide to why Fun Under Five is ideally suited to advertising your business to families.

• When families use search engines to find activities for their young children, Fun Under Five comes on the first page for most frequent relevent searches - and often in the top 3 . Try searching for yourself - general search terms (eg "activities for under 5s") or specifics (eg "dance for under 5s") come high in the search results. Searches for businesses or contact names listed on the site also perform well. We monitor this through doing our own searches and through checking what searches bring people to the site.
• This means that your listing is highly likely to be seen by families who are actively looking for activities for their children. In March 2008, www.fununderfive.co.uk received 404 visits and traffic is growing by an average of 25% a month.
• The calls you get from your listing with us are far more likely to be bookings compared to responses you may get from other media because your listing on the Fun Under Five website contains all the information families need to make a decision to buy. It means that the average respondent from Fun Under Five is worth more than one from an advert that simply uses your logo and phone number to create interest and speculative enquiries.
• Your listing includes clickable links for your email and web addresses. This means that families can contact you quickly and easily - and you can track where they visited you from.
• Fun Under Five is highly targetted and clearly branded. Parents know that this is a site where all the activities are suitable for younger children which gives them confidence in the listings. Your listing will be clearly categorised by activity type and region, making it simple for the parents in your locality to find you.
• You do not need to go to the expense and trouble of creating artwork. We produce your listing from the information on the booking form.
