"Thank you for providing such a great resource for parents in the Birmingham area!  I used it as a resource when my children were young.  Now as the owner of my own birthday party venue, I find that it is a wonderful place to advertise! I can usually tell when the new issue has hit the newstands because my phone starts ringing here at Tea Party Castle with inquiries.  I have been very pleased with the response from my advertising in Birmingham Parent."

“Birmingham Parent reaches the family market more effectively than any other publication. It is in most all schools, libraries, hospitals, doctor offices, daycares, convenience stores, restaurants and many other outlets. Birmingham Parent covers seven counties with more than 600 outlets. I can speak of this confidently because we handle their distribution.

“Our distribution company has handled Birmingham Parent and several other major publications for more than 21 years in Birmingham. We have knowledge of the most effective outlets in the Birmingham market with our long experience in the area. Our employees are only the most reliable, dependable and honest distribution people who have all been with us a long time. We take great care in maintaining our outlets month after month. That is why I can say that the Birmingham Parent is the best buy for the advertising dollar by far over any other publication.”

“Ponies were the only thing I ever wanted for Christmas or birthdays. So there was a need for the service. A good place to advertise was right here in Shelby County- Birmingham Parent. I loved Birmingham Parent, and they helped me build my business.

In 2008 my expenses increased so I could not pay the little amount for the ad. This was a terrible mistake. I placed the ad again in March 2010 and by April the calls began. I had 8 in one day! Before putting the ad back in I would be lucky to get 8 a month.

Birmingham Parent is such a great resource for parents and grandparents. I would like to thank Carol Evans for working with me over the years and how blessed all of us are to have her on our side.”

“It is obvious that mothers (working and non-working) read Birmingham Parent from cover to cover. With over 40 years as an advertiser, I have never had the consistent response that I have had to my ad in your magazine from any kind of publication. You are doing a real service to a large, growing and in need of help population.”

“I have owned my company since 2004. At the time, I only offered competitive dance classes. This past year, we began teaching other specialty dance classes such as Jazz, Ballet, Pointe, Tap, Tumbling, Vocal Performance and Combination classes.

Because of our advertising with Birmingham Parent, we were able to let the community know we had branched out and had so much more to offer. Those who had no idea of our re-structure were finally calling and asking, "Where have you been?"

Anytime I run ads with Birmingham Parent, my call volume increases. As a business owner, I am happy knowing my advertising dollar is well spent. As a parent, I enjoy reading the specialty articles, which are always informative. I feel this magazine is THE parent resource guide.”
