What are the goals of LIParentSource.com?
Our goal is to give parents choices and to keep advertising affordable for all businesses and non-profit organizations. We are committed to giving families a quality site and are equally committed to supporting the businesses listed on the site. Every family has different needs and every business offers something unique.
- Businesses listed on the site have the opportunity to post any family events on the calendar (outside of class schedules).
- We also have a local perks page if you are interested in giving families a special offer to your business.
- All businesses that list on the site are mentioned in our weekly e-newsletter the week after we receive your contract so that families know to look for you on the site.
- Read business testimonials from local businesses and comments from parents.
- LIParentSource.com is a great way to let families know about your business. Too many things on Long Island are word of mouth and parents get frustrated that they do not hear about the businesses they need at the time they need them. People also forget that many businesses & organizations offer more than one service.
- The reason our site works is that parents are not just getting a name and a phone number, they are also getting a description of what your business offers. We encourage businesses to be specific with their listings so that parents can decide right away if the business fits their needs. If they are looking for a preschool, they can see whether their child needs to be potty trained and what ages are accepted. If you have a website, parents can link to it for more detailed information. By going through LIParentSource.com, parents don't have to remember every website address.
