Frequently Asked Questions

How often are email newsletters sent out?

Email newsletters are sent on Sundays and Thursdays. Dedicated and semi-dedicated email editorials are sent on Tuesdays.

What's the difference between boosting and the local spotlight emails?

A boosted activity is guaranteed placement ($50 per 10,000) in one of our upcoming Thursday or Sunday newsletters. Boosted activities are displayed as text links that list your activity name, business name, and ages served. For in-person activities, emails are geo-targeted up to a 20 mile radius.

You must sign up for these sponsored spots at least 7 days in advance and placement is first come, first serve.

What links can I use in my ads?

All email spots link to your ActivityHero provider page or activity listings. Boosted activities will show your session title, your business name, ages served, and any discounts. Local spotlight email content can be customized.

Can my business appear in newsletters without paying for advertising?

Yes! Each week our algorithm chooses activities that may interest our email subscribers based on age and geographic location. Placement is not guaranteed and are listed below any featured, boosted activities.
