Social Media Packages

Social Media Packages

Best used as an amplifier alongside our high-performing website & newsletter placements.

At Macaroni KID, our website and newsletter are where we shine brightest—consistent engagement, high trust, and proven local influence. Social can be powerful, but algorithms are unpredictable. We don’t lead with social, but we offer it as a smart add-on for event buzz, special offers, or brand lift.

Platform Highlights

Macaroni KID Harrisburg & West Shore
  • 8,500+ newsletter readers | ~50% April open rate
  • 10K+ website views monthly
  • Facebook: 6,618 followers | 1.2M+ views (past 90 days)
Macaroni KID Carlisle–Boiling Springs–Shippensburg
  • 3,500+ newsletter subscribers | ~45% open rate
  • 3,400+ website views in April
  • Facebook: 2,575 followers (growing quickly) | 100K+ recent views
We strongly recommend boosted packages to reach beyond the algorithm and connect with your ideal local audience—especially for timely promotions.

Boosted Social Media Campaigns

Actively promoted to local parents & families who follow our pages, plus lookalike audiences based on shared interests. Includes curated sharing to relevant pages and community/parenting groups. Messaging can be updated weekly.

Organic Social Support (Un-boosted)

Authentic community visibility without ad spend—reach may be more limited.

Note: Organic posts are subject to the whims of Facebook’s algorithm and typically see far less reach than boosted content. We recommend these only when budget constraints prevent boosting.

See the table below for package tiers, deliverables, and pricing.
