The Family Adventure Network!
Smiles Per Gallon Family Adventure Network…
SPGFAN is building the LARGEST, the COOLEST, the MOST IN-DEPTH Travel Resource for Families In The Know… Families On The Go!
Because FAMILY…
Is the GREATEST ADVENTURE OF ALL!
And we are here for YOU!
You… Us….
WE are working together to build this resource to encourage high quality, educational, engaged, FUN family time, whatever the adventure at hand!
In a time when we’re all so busy… Life so full of distraction…
We’re bringing FAMILY back!
With a focus on FAMILY first,
SPGFAN is dedicated to creating a user-friendly resource to help parents and caregivers navigate AWESOME quality time with their loved ones to create UNFORGETTABLE experiences and instill PRICELESS memories that will last forever!
How Are We Going to Do That?
So far, we have created pages for over 25,000 cities and towns throughout the United States.
We want to highlight the greatest destination choices available, and that INCLUDES the quaintest small towns, right along with the busiest urban centers, or the most iconic tourist hot spots…
And we’re going to do our best to really put a focus on Small Businesses, Shops, and Restaurants; Local Artists, Craftsmen, Growers, and Producers; as well as Makers and Entrepreneurs…
ALL rooted in providing products, services, and experiences FOR families BY families!
And We Need YOU! NOW!
If you’ve got our back, WE’VE GOT YOURS!
Starting a new endeavor always takes a little bit of faith. And to help build your trust in us, we’re offering SUPER LOW Advertising and Sponsorship Rates, and all kinds of GREAT ideas to help put YOUR business on OUR map!
And, together, we’re going to reach MILLIONS of families in the U.S., and around the world!
Let’s Make This Work!
As of June 2019, we are reaching upwards of 2,000 – 2,500 hits a day, and easily approaching 60,000 hits per month.
Keep in mind, we’re nowhere near done with even the main tools on our site, and have not even started a social media campaign. Those numbers are mostly search engine based results, and we have a GREAT presence building there for sure!
Our ad rates will increase as our reach does, but for now, GET ON BOARD WITH SPGFAN, and as a Founding Member of The SPGFAN Team, we will ALWAYS make sure you get THE most bang for your advertising buck, and ultimately, THE MOST RESULTS!
If you are on a Smart Phone, consider flipping it on its side so the following charts and “fine print” will be even easier to read!
For the sake of brevity, in the following charts, I will use the term “business” to refer to YOUR vested interest, beit representing a city, town, location, organization, institution, attraction, restaurant, store, hotel, product, service, or experience… Because that’s an awful lot to have to fit into each box!

** Sponsorship Dollars help SPGFAN fund the necessary travel expenses to get to and from each city and town to experience local businesses firsthand. This helps keep our Directory current, accurate, and objective! And it lends well to including local businesses in future SPGFAN Editorial Content. Sponsors believe in and support the SPGFAN Mission of FAMILY! They are the core of our business model, because WE are FAMILY! Thanks for your consideration!
*** In our effort to provide the LARGEST, MOST IN-DEPTH travel resource tools for our readers, we definitely want to include your business, no matter what! We certainly don’t require a Paid Sponsorship for you to be a part of the SPGFAN Directory. However, when we work together, AMAZING things can happen! If you can consider sponsoring your page, YOU are AWESOME! And that makes SPGFAN awesome, too! We’re doing big things here, and we will be providing HUGE value to YOUR business! We want you to be a part of OUR adventure in the biggest way you are able!
| FIELD TRIP HOSTING (Media FAM Trips) | FREE with Fully Hosted Experience for 4 People |
| Invite SPGFAN to experience your business as your average end-user consumer would, and allow us to take photos to enhance your directory listing. | We are happy to do this at no additional charge to you, other than a fully hosted experience for 4 people. However, check out your options for Social Media Impact Packages below! |
** Our goal at SPGFAN is to generate enough funding through Sponsorships and Advertising that we can self-sufficiently pay for our own travels to experience communities and their businesses. However, if you are able to offer a Fully Hosted Experience for 4 People, better known as a SPGFAN Field Trip, this helps us help you! If we know firsthand who you are and what you do, we can better represent YOUR business on SPGFAN!

Ask how you can save up to 50% off quoted prices! When you succeed, we succeed! Let’s do this! We won’t let price stand in the way of promoting YOUR adventure!
*** We like to think of our Editorial Pieces as informative and inspirational, yet casually accessible. We do NOT consider SPGFAN a review site. You are NOT paying for a review, good or bad. You are simply allowing us to experience what your business has to offer so we can tell the world all about you! Your package price helps offset the costs of our travel to your location; as well as our time and resources to produce quality images and fun, friendly, objective editorial prose.
FAQ: What’s the difference between a Field Trip Package and a Social Media Impact Package? Why should we pay for what it looks like we can get for free?
For a Field Trip Package / Hosted Fam Trip we will absolutely come to you at no additional out-of-pocket expense! It’s a GREAT way to let SPGFAN experience your business so we can ensure your Directory Listing is current, relevant, and full of enticing photos for those who might be considering spending money with your business!
With a Social Media Impact Package, though, we will not only make sure your Directory Listing is as awesome as possible, but your Package Price enables us to produce a full Editorial Article about your business, and promote it through all our social media channels. With your own SPGFAN-produced Editorial Article, you will get hundreds of thousands of views, countless shares, and all the buzz that AWESOME Hands-On Influencer Marketing creates! Just for you! We promise, it will be worth it! You WILL get results!
