What is SuperKids?SuperKids Software Review provides:
SuperKids is designed for people who want the best for their children in educational software.
- Dependable, unbiased reviews by parents, teachers and kids - of educational software, not games
- Insightful investigative reports on issues of concern to parents and teachers
- Provocative interviews with the people who will shape the future of our educational system
- Practical advice for parents and teachers on integrating educational software into the learning environment
SuperKids’ reviews are written by teams consisting of parents, teachers and kids, following a prescribed testing protocol. (To see samples of the evaluation forms used, click on parents, teachers or kids.) Their evaluations are conducted not in the unrealistic conditions of a laboratory, but in homes and schools just like yours. Our goal is to simulate as closely as possible the actual environment in which these software products are used, to avoid creating test-induced biases.
SuperKids attracts a gender-balanced (55% female), 30-50 year old, affluent parent/teacher audience from a wide variety of occupations. Almost all are married, most are reasonably computer savvy, and access the SuperKids both from home and the office.
Why Should I Advertise in SuperKids?
SuperKids' sponsors share a common belief in the importance of education to our children's future. SuperKids' unique editorial focus and perspective offers sponsors the opportunity to support this philanthropic goal, while simultaneously:
- Building awareness of their sites
- Driving a qualified audience to their websites
- Improving prospects for consideration and purchase.
What Will My Advertising Look Like?
Advertisements in SuperKids take two primary forms:
- Banner Ads. These are the conventional banner strip ads found on most sites. Their advantage is size. But this advantage can sometimes be negated by extended loading times which may allow users to scroll past the image before it has been completely presented.
- Vertical Box Ads. These somewhat smaller images may be placed adjacent to the text on most pages. Market research indicates that visitors like this ad format because the ads take up less space (and hence take less time to load).
SuperKids also offers sponsorships for our monthly, opt-in, e-mail newsletter. Please or contact us. if you'd like to learn more about this unique option.
You can change your creative as often as you like. We can accept your advertising up to 72 hours in advance of the start of your placement program.What Kind of Advertising Success Can I Expect?
