If your business is targeting the family market, we can help!

he Parents Handbook to Summit County, Colorado and its sister
publication, The Parents Handbook to the Vail Valley, together with
Value Media Inc., offer promotional solutions that target the family
market. We achieve this by utilizing a media combination of print, web
and television, as well as sponsorship of local events.

The printed publications give our readers something tangible that they
can continually use for reference. The web site
(www.theparentshandbook.com) helps reinforce what they have seen in the
publication and on RSN television (TV 13/16 in Summit County and TV
8/17 in Eagle County), while also reaching the second homeowners and
destination visitors before they arrive. Event sponsorship creates top
of mind awareness and allows us to participate in our community. Each
of these tools work in unison to help spread valuable information to
the family market, which in turn helps them choose and use your
business.

Our goal is to help you expand your business.
