"Parent:Wise Austin magazine reaches exactly the kind of target we are looking for - fun, caring Austin parents with young kids who are looking for resources, activities and places to shop for their kids. It's been a great way for us to meet clients!.

"My clients love Parent:Wise magazine! Busy moms use it every month to find fun stuff to do with their kids, so I knew it would be a great place to advertise...and it worked. It's been a pleasure working with the team at Parent:Wise!"

Dear PWA,

I wanted to thank you and let you know how successful the Parent:Wise advertising for our Summer Camp program has been. For the first time in the 10+ year history of our Summer Camp, we effectively "sold out" the program almost two months before the summer began!

When we receive calls inquiring about our program, it is our practice to always ask, "How did you hear about us?" Time after time this Spring, the response has been, "I saw you in Parent:Wise." And, more than a few of these leads have become customers. The payback in new enrollments has been extremely cost effective for us.

We will definitely continue to advertise in Parent:Wise.

Sincerely,
-- Merrick Leler

Working with Parent: Wise Austin has been a great success for us. Rebekah Maaz and the staff helped make our ad exactly what we needed. The phone calls and registrations keep coming in! We love to hear "we saw you in Parent: Wise"! I also have to admit that I am not only a client, I love the magazine. The respect I have for the magazine made it an easy decision to advertise with them.

Parent: Wise has played an important part in advertising our new business during its first year. Without this beloved publication, My Gym Children's Fitness Center of Austin would miss out on meeting great parents and their wonderful children. It's really exciting for us when we receive multiple referral calls and visits of those who want to try their first FREE guest class because of our ad! Each month, our members snatch the newly delivered publication of Parent: Wise like it is a sacred treasure... and because we run out of them quickly! The articles, the comprehensive calendar, the ads, and the great mommas who coordinate such a resource are winners in our book! We value Parent: Wise and look forward to a long future of working together to serve the fantastic families of the Austin area.

I initiated contact with the Parent:Wise publication staff recently to ask about advertising. I found that the staff communicated promptly and professionally with regard to my questions and request for information about their advertising history. Before advertising, I asked the staff at ParentWise to design our ad. The ad that they developed was better than I could have hoped for and included all of the important information that I needed to address. While our ad has not yet run in their publication, I feel sure that it will stand out and get readers' attention! In addition, I contacted the ParentWise staff about a question that had been posed to me by a community member looking for a particular service. Staff were quick to respond and sent me information that I was able to share with the parent that called me.

We have been advertising with Parent Wise Magazine for over a year now and we are very pleased with the results. Initially, we saw an immediate increase in "word of mouth" referrals. I know there are many parenting groups who started telling members about us and I know our ad started the buzz.

72% of new customers come to us through "word of mouth". That means that if we "pay" to get a customer, we know that that person will send us two more. By advertising, we therefore add fuel to the fire of a successful word of mouth activity and speed up our overall company growth.

The staff and owners of Parent:Wise are extremely committed to what they do. I have always found them very pleasant to deal with and know they have our best interests at heart in helping to promote our business.

I recommend Parent Wise very highly for anyone wanting to make their company known to parents in Austin.

Best regards,

Since it's induction, working with the team @ Parent Wise has been a complete pleasure. I have enjoyed watching the magazine "grow into" its book covers. Editor Kim is truly a "mother" in the many ways she supports caring for each of her advertisers and promoting their events. Often she has sent me a personal reminder checking in with me, if she thinks I have forgotten a deadline.

I would recommend the magazine to parents for the quality of articles and the integrity of the company.

Many Thanks!

The Austin Symphony has enjoyed a great partnership with Parent: Wise Austin this past year. The magazine and website has been a fantastic way to reach the audience we seek for our family/children's programming and concerts. We have also enjoyed getting to know the ladies of P:WA as they greet parents and kids at our Children's Day Art Park concerts in Symphony Square.
