    Unique Handmade Jewellery

    Well more great news which I'm so excited about. A very talented lady, Jen Guezo who is a new member to WM, makes the most gorgeous handmade jewellery. She is going to be making pieces exclusive for Iona Cosmetics. Each piece will be totally unique and not available anywhere else. I'm so pleased to be working with Jen, we've known each other for about 18 months now and I've purchased some of her pieces for myself and for my daughter. She really is so creative and talented and I feel so honoure… Continue

    TOP TEN SCIENCE FICTION OUTFITS

    I found this on a blog on another site and thought that it maybe some interest. Personally I thought it was great as I am a great movie buff, hence the stuff I sell! "Having recently watched Tin Man (and enjoying it despite the flaws, or maybe because of them, or maybe because of Kathleen Robertson, hubba hubba, yes probably that last bit) it occurred to both me and my other half that you get some bloody great clothing designs in the world of science fiction..."… Continue

    Networking

    I am taking Nikki's advice and starting my first blog on Webmums. I have been involved in networking for about 2 years and although I haven't made many sales from any of the networking events or sites, I have made contacts. Contacts that have turned into good friends. Contacts that have kept me going (Nikki) and given their knowledge freely. The knowledge that I have gained outweighs any sales and to me that is priceless. I am a member of a local networking group that I help to organize. We meet… Continue

    Update on the UV Buggy Blanket SPF30+

    Firstly i would like to thanks all those that have given me such good advice and help since i joined in may. For those that dont already know about me.. I have recently launched a new product - the UV buggy blanket spf30+. This product was designed to solve the problem of when a child is in a pushchair or buggy and there legs are exposed to the harmful rays of the sun. Due to the natural movement of the sun, parasols and hoods alone do not provide adequate protection. In April i opened an eBay… Continue

    Shea Terra - Angelina Jolie uses it and so can you now

    I just discovered a product range that is a well kept secret. It is an organic range, made with fair trade, pure, unrefined shea butter. Obviously I should be pushing my own range which is almost completed and being launched soon, however I am so impressed with these products (having tested them extensively over the last few weeks) that I decided to stock 3 of the…

    What Can Web Mums Do For Me?

    The power of networking is underestimated and not understood by many people. Yes, we're told to join networking groups – which we do – but then what? Well, in the case of sites like Web Mums, I'm sorry to say that a profile page is often filled out, only for us to never hear from that person again.

    If you think for a moment that you will make business contacts, reach customers, filter into the search engines and promote your business from filling out a quick profile pag…

    Member Spotlight - Interview With Ann Williams-Maughan from Education Takeaway

    Interview With Ann Williams Maughan from Education Take-Away

     

    Ann Williams Maughan from Eductaion TakeawayTell Us A Little Bit About Yourself-

    Married with one daughter who is going into secondary school in September. 

    In Your Own Words, Tell Us About How You Came to Start Your Business and Some of the Hurdles You Have Faced-

    My inspiration for starting Education Takeaway came when my daughter started school.  She brought home a Story Sack, and for those of you who don’t know what Story Sack is, it’s a large sack/bag containing a book with information/props for parent on how to bring the story to life.  It contains the book, some soft toys that are relevant to the book, a game or flashcards and information to parents on how to use the book/game.

     In the first Story Sack she brought home was games, we had so much fun with the games by the time it was to be returned to school my daughter was sad to see it go.  I was on a mission to find this game.  I searched my local high street but the games were not available.  I contacted the company that had manufactured the game to see if they could point me in the direction of my nearest retail outlet.  Instead they posted me a catalogue.  The catalogue was lying around my house for days when a friend said she liked the look of the games and if I was ordering anything could she have something.  Another friend expressed the same interest.  By the time I phoned them up I had over £150.00 in order from different people.  They asked me if I was a business, I said No, they offered at this point to set me up as Party Plan business and gave me a good discount.  With this small order from family and friends I had made a small profit.  I contacted a few local mother and toddler groups asking if  I could come along to their group and sell some of the range, they agreed and before I knew where I was I had bookings for fairs, mother/toddler groups and other events.  I re-stocked added a few more products to the range and slowly built my business.
