What is a Commercial Post?
A Commercial Post is an email message that is sent to the Park Slope Parents Advice List. The information that our member parents receive and give on this group includes referrals, recommendations, and tips. Referrals span services from dance classes to day care providers to therapists to contractors to summer camps to dentists to hairdressers to accountants, and so much more.
Commercial Post messages are interspersed among these general messages. Although Commercial Posts are one-shot advertisements, their penetration to 10,000+ inboxes makes them ideal for announcing classes, camp openings, events, and anything else which requires instant visibility and a call to action for your offerings. They can can also be sent to one or more of our smaller groups, such as groups for parents of tweens/teens, parents of elementary-aged children, expectant parents, new parents, specific neighborhoods, or a range of heritage language / language interest groups.
This is one of the best ways to build brand awareness and maximize exposure for your business for the least overall cost.
Commercial Posts are available for purchased individually or in packages of 5 or 10. Both individual and package options include images and an attachment and/or logo.
