Be sure to take advantage of the 3 Lucky to Have you as a Customer Specials which, since it's Spring Break and Easter I am extending until Tuesday April 6th at NOON . You won’t want to miss reading this right away or you might miss your Pot of Gold.

Need more Promotion?

Do you send out a newsletter or Ezine?

Do you send it to me?

Well you should. Here’s why?

If you add us to your newsletter database at newsletters@MomsDadsAndKids.com we will know what’s new with you, what specials you have, new products, contests, stories and events. If you let us in on a promotion before it happens, and the further in advance you can send it to us the more places we can promote it. In our Ezine, calendar of events or why don’t we brainstorm and do a contest together.

Note: Please do not add my personal email to your newsletter list. I keep that separate and want to be sure I am able to respond promptly to your emails that I welcome anytime. Thanks

We send an ezine out to our Mom Database every two weeks, (make sure you are receiving this ezine also) we pull content for that ezine from the research we do and ezines we get from our advertisers. We find new and interesting articles we can share with our moms which in turn… promotes YOU, our valued advertiser. It’s that simple!

I am going to share and give a list of our Editorial Content Calender so you have an idea of what we are looking for. Put your thinking cap on and find a way that your business can tie into what we will be talking about. We always provide a logo, link, and phone number to our advertisers so its free promotion. Email me for a copy and post it to your desk so you keep it handy when new products comes in.
