Do you want to BOOST your SALES for the holiday season?

Join our 2023 Holiday Shopping Guide and reach OVER 5,000 local families!

By Celia Even, Publisher Mom for Macaroni Kid Cedar Falls-Waterloo November 1, 2023

It's been a few years since we have had a  🎁 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 🎁  published for our Macaroni KID readers (over 5,000 families in the Cedar Valley!) and I would LOVE to do one this year to help our local businesses with ramping up their holiday sales.


Our last Holiday Gift Guide guide (2019) had over 30,000 impressions and was directly emailed to our 5,000 readers weekly throughout the holiday season!


Any small business, local attraction/establishment/restaurant (that sells tickets/certificates/gift cards) or direct sales/MLM company is welcome to participate (we will ONLY accept one consultant per direct sales company). Whether you offer products, services (house cleaning, salon, etc.), or gift cards (online business, restaurants, etc) this guide will help drive your holiday sales!


This shopping guide will be specific for LOCAL businesses and local MLM/direct sales representatives and go out each week from November 16th - December 25th (6 times!), shared with our 5,000+ social media followers, and advertised on the website homepage. If you opt to also provide a gift (item or gift certificate) valued at $25 or more for the 12 Days of Giveaways in December, you will receive additional social media posts to promote your business and the giveaway.


Here is the link to the 2019 guide if you would like to see an example:

Not sure what your holiday sales/offers will be yet? No worries!

At this time, we only need payment to hold your spot. Details on your holiday sales/offers will be needed on or before 11/15/23 (prior to publishing the guide) and can be updated at any time as needed, throughout the campaign (i.e. if you need to add/remove something because it sells out, or add/remove Black Friday offers).

 

As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions: celiae@macaronikid.com
