Families® Magazine

Families Magazine trail-blazed the parenting magazines freemium model. We are leaders in the field. We’ve been building our brand for almost 28 years!

As a franchisee, you benefit from the history of our success.

• You don’t need prior publishing experience: you are buying tried and tested business practices and a complete package of resources to run your business.
• Our magazines are aimed at ABC1 parents with children 0-12 years. A pretty much recession proof sector; parents always want the best for their children’s future.
• Brand trust and loyalty means real results: our advertisers see the benefits of advertising with us and re-book again and again.
• Families Magazine territories are neither too small (not attractive to enough advertisers) nor too large (not appealing to local companies).
• Check out what we do: for What’s On listings and things to do, readers tell us we are the best. We are also known for tackling big topics: we provide solid advice on parenting, health, childcare. We voice important issues, such as the danger of excessive sugar and wheat in children’s diets, BPAs, education policies, etc.
• We have a recently relaunched website at www.familiesonline.co.uk which enhances the experience of our readers.
