"Sun Country has been advertising with Fun4GatorKids.com since 2011. When I was first approached to advertise I was hesitant to try something new. However, as I talked to parents I realized what a great resource Fun4Gatorkids was and that many of my customers were already using the site! I started out on a small scale and monitored the growth in my programs. When new customers said they heard about our programs from the F4GK website, it was easy to see my return on investment. Kathy Stewart is easy to work with, flexible when I need to make changes to my current contract, and always available. Fun4GatorKids.com continues to be one of the most reasonable ways we can reach our target market and see results. I am so glad that Fun4GatorKids.com is in Gainesville, not only for my business but also to provide such a great resource to the parents in our community."

"Gainesville Creative Kids chose to advertise with fun4gatorkids.com from the very beginning because the concept was sure to be a winner. Having one website designated to all the fun activities available to families in our area is simply genius. So, it stood to reason that our business could really get great exposure by advertising on the site. The prices are affordable and the reach of the website is extensive. Our ad looks wonderful and Kathy even takes the time to remind us to update our ad when it's looking outdated. We track our marketing efforts and at this time we have almost 80% of our students referencing fun4gatorkids.com as the way they hear about us. We have paid for advertising in other family friendly magazines and ads in the past, but we no longer do that. If your advertising budget is small and you can only pick one place to advertise, you should choose fun4gatorkids.com."

"As a Mother of 2 and local 'kid-business' owner, fun4gatorkids is the most put together, "one stop shop" on the Gainesville web! It is THE place to spend our advertising dollars! Kathy cheers on our local efforts 100% and not only supports us on her site, but also on the road. Exactly what we need for our growing business!"

"We love working with F4GK, the entire advertising process is smooth, enjoyable, and very reasonably priced. The best part is, parents actually use the service. During our last two events 90% of the people who booked a session learned about it through Fun 4 Gator Kids!"

"Fun4gatorkids.com has been unbelievable in the success of our event, Egg Drop Alachua. Over 80% of our pre-registrants have come from this website alone. We have used Kathy and her company for the past two years and will continue to utilize them in the future!"

"We love fun4gatorkids.com! Last year we decided to stop running print ads in local papers and focus on internet advertising. Kathy and her staff worked out a great package for us and directed visitors back to our web site for more information. We were able to reach out to a new customer base, young families! Thanks Kathy and fun4gatorkids.com!"

"I'm so glad I chose to advertise on Fun4GatorKids.com. My Birthday Show bookings are up and many of them mention my ad. Today's parents are increasingly going to the to internet for information and I can't think of a better way to put my name in front of them than to advertise on Fun4GatorKids.com."
