How long has the company been in business?

ETC Link™ has been in the industry for the past 7 years, and the publisher has been in the industry for the past 12 years with a proven history in advertising, marketing, and design. We have a comprehensive marketing view of ad layout and content and overall directory look, plus the knowledge that created marketing layouts, plans, or consulting for national and international clients like AT&T Capital Corporation, US Army, Airforce, and ROTC, Merrill Lynch, Teamsters, Coopers and Lybrand, and Overhead Door.

Why are there articles?

Kids and Family Link™ has a shelf life of many months with informative articles.

Kids and Family Link™ is a resource guide for families, kids, moms and dads, grandparents, caregivers, and friends (who help or buy gifts, too). We've taken our time to do a tremendous amount of research in the local area to ensure that our readers actively seek and use our publication every month from high-traffic, high-income locations. Our articles cater to those buyers and aren't so big that they overpower your ad but add that extra punch that makes our guide indispensable, picked up every month, and kept for future reference.

Our Kids and Family Freebie Links™ list three types of "free stuff", and there's a health and safety article of the month that also serves as a valuable resource. Your ad gains authority as part of such helpful references and ensures repetitive viewing by the types of customers you want.

Distribution Questions

How is your guide distributed?

We hand-deliver our directories each and every month to personally chosen high-income, high-traffic locations. At times, we also choose to use a national distribution company to mass-deliver to large chain stores, where they have their free publications displayed. Some of these larger chain stores only allow us to distribute through such companies. This ensures that your ad is always prominently displayed and well-stocked at all times.

When is your guide distributed?

We hand-deliver directories each and every month on or about the 1st week of each month.

Where is your guide distributed?

Our strength is in our distribution. Every month we distribute Kids and Family Link™ to HUNDREDS of high-traffic, busy locations throughout the southeast Wisconsin area that were specifically chosen for their desirability with highly qualified visitors for our advertisers.
