Pricing, layout & specs

Everything you need to decide: what each option costs, what's included, exactly how your spot looks on desktop and on phones, and what to send us.

An honest note: Family Weekend Guide is a new site, and our traffic is still growing. We don't quote audience numbers we don't have yet. Every sponsor gets a click report, so you can judge the results for yourself.

Pricing

Introductory pricing for our launch, in US dollars. Available in all 55 live cities.

Presenting Sponsor

"Presented by" your logo on one city's pages and in that city's weekly email header.

$200 / month

$500 / 3 months

  • Your logo and a short tagline, linked to your site
  • Exclusive: one presenting sponsor per city
  • Monthly click report

Email Sponsor

A sponsor block in a city's Thursday picks email.

$10 / weekly email

  • Image, headline, short text and a button to your page
  • One sponsor per city per email
  • Click report after each send
  • The welcome email spot is also available; ask us

Sponsorship never changes which events we list or how we rank them. We may decline anything that isn't a good fit for families.

How a Featured spot looks

Your card appears first in "Top picks this weekend" on your city's guide, styled like our other picks and labeled Sponsored. The sample below uses a made-up business ("Your Business Here") and sample events; it isn't a real sponsor.

Photo & text specs (Featured Sponsor)

When you book, we send you a private link where you fill these in and see a live preview of your card on desktop and phone before you submit. The limits below are the same ones that form enforces.

The sample card at actual size.

PhotoJPEG, PNG or HEIC, up to 10 MB. Landscape works best: we crop it to the card's 3:2 shape (shown at 1200 × 800) and you choose the framing. 1200 × 800 px or larger looks sharpest. Real photos beat text-heavy graphics.
HeadlineUp to 60 characters. What it is and where, e.g. "Family Pottery Morning at Your Business Here".
DescriptionUp to 155 characters, 1–2 short sentences. Sized so it fits the card on phones and desktop.
When / hoursUp to 60 characters, e.g. "Sat & Sun · 10 AM–2 PM".
AddressOptional, up to 80 characters.
Business nameUp to 80 characters; used in the "Details at …" link.
LinkThe page families land on when they click (your event, booking or home page).
Photo descriptionOptional, up to 120 characters, for screen readers.
RunsMonday–Sunday, one full week (or a month on the monthly plan).
DeadlineThursday 5 PM ET for a spot starting the following Monday.

Specs for the Presented-by logo and the email block are on the specs page.
