The cost savings are immense

•With Pride Town Connect, with the standard plan for as little as $799/year, you can reach the same LGBTQ+ audience that would cost thousands to target on other platforms.

•On average, businesses spend $2,500+ monthly on Google Ads for national visibility. With us, you get nationwide exposure at a fraction of the cost, and it’s targeted directly to the LGBTQ+ community.
