Managing Businesses: Dawn from Market Mommy and Announcements Galore (1 comment)

Most of you visit Living My MoMent because you either own your own business or you support mom business owners. What a great group of women and families to support! Today, as the economy SLOWLY starts to rebound, it’s remarkable the number of mothers who have went out on a limb to start and pursue their own businesses.

I, myself, have a great deal of respect and admiration for all of these wonderful ladies. Raising children is the hardest, most rewarding job in the world as we all know. Managing a business on top of that responsibility can sometimes be daunting.

Thankfully there is help available! Sites like Living My MoMent that offer free advertising to entrepreneurial moms are a blessing! I’m so grateful for Abbey, and moms like her who give time and support to fellow mom entrepreneurs.

I’m here because I have a passion for my children, as I’m sure you all do. As mothers we simply want what is best for them and will go to any lengths to provide the best.

I have two small children, ages 4 and 3. And, as you can imagine, there is NEVER a dull moment in my house! My husband and I have been married for nearly 8 years and both work outside of the home full-time.

In 2007, I launched Announcements Galore. AG offers a wide variety of photo cards, magnets and keepsake collages for any occasion. Need holiday cards, birth announcements, save the date magnets, a Mother’s Day gift? AG is the place to go for exceptional customer service and outstanding quality.

My professional background and bachelor’s degree is in marketing and communication. So, when trying to market AG I felt like I had a leg up on some of my competitors. However, I still faced my struggles, and I was surprised to learn just how few resources there were that specifically helped mom entrepreneurs with marketing advice.

So, in June of 2009, Market Mommy was born and shortly after Market Mommy:: The Blog (http://marketmommy.blogspot.com) was added. MM aims to show moms how and where to market their businesses. We offer free tips, advice and advertising via our blog, e-newsletter and main website. We offer links to great places to advertise and low-cost marketing and printing services for mom entrepreneurs. Our goal is to help moms marketing themselves affordably and effectively.
