"We ran with a local parenting publication for 7 years, and after running two times with Dandelion we received more responses from Dandelion readers than we did in the last 7 years with the other magazine. The rates are affordable and we are hitting our target audience because Dandelion is the only publication in the Bay Area for families who have a special needs child."Look what our advertisers have to say!
