- A Little About Me:
- I am a young Mum with a 2 yr old little boy running my own online baby and childrens gifts business from home - which I love doing. So, my life is pretty hectic, but very enjoyable. I have a great husband and family who are brilliant at supporting me so I can get out and spread the word!
- A Little About My Business
- Poppet and Me is a very young online business, which has been trading for just 2 yrs. I source ethical and original gifts for young children from birth through to age 6, and have a great selection of gorgeous gifts for new mums and mum to be. I absolutely love running my own business, which is vastly different from a management position with HSBC which I gave up after my little boy was born. I decided going back to my career just wasnt right for me, and so set about creating a great range of very unique baby gift baskets. Since then I have expanded and increased my product range to give a much wider selection of gifts for young children, and try and find gifts which I know arent available on the high street.

- Favourite Word or Quote:
- sorry dont have one!
- Anything Else You'd Like To Add?
- Am looking forward to meeting other people who are very much in the same business and can share success and problems with each other. Pop onto my website www.poppetandme.co.uk and let me know what you think, and if you think it would be useful add me as your friend, I really do want to get the most out of this network as poss, and look forward to sharing my own experiences of setting up and running my business so others can gain too!

Right - the directory! The one I have on the home page (which I believe is the one you wish to be on) the details for that can be found here.
I will be entering all businesses in the directory tab eventually, but the paid ones appear on the right hand side of the screen and currently on the home page. Free entries will have a link to the members profile page on Web Mums where people can find the link to their businesses.
I hope that makes sense! If you have any questions just give me a shout!
Look forward to hearing from you,
Nikki
Just been looking at your website (even though I promised myself a day away from the computer and here I am still in my nightie on the computer!) I like the way you've set it out and your unusual gifts. How long did it take for you to be accepted by ShopSafe? I've been waiting 6 months and even re-applied and got nowhere, not even a rejection.
Keep up the good work!
Regards

Just had a look at your website - and it really is fabulous! Aside from the great products - it looks great. I really like the way the categories 'pop' out of the box! :o)
IAnyway, hope you are finding your way around the site ok and using the resources that Web Mums has to offer. In addition to socialising with a fantastic group of women there is the opportunity to network and really sell your business. Web Mums is growing daily and the traffic to the site is dramatically increasing, so make the most of your profile pages.
To make life easier – we have a tab at the top called resources which has a site map and various links of interest. This is a good place to start! You will also find the business forum a valuable resource in addition to perhaps joining some of our groups.
You have been given a whole profile page to tell the world about yourself and/or your business. Many women have it for personal use but if you are a business – this is your chance to really sell yourself. You have a text box at the top of the page that you can use to describe your business, add photo’s of your products with links back to the products on your website and you can use it to introduce yourself and maybe a little bit about why you started your business.
Also, if you belong to any affiliate schemes – you can put the code here too. Make money from your profile page!
You have potentially 200+ customers on just this website alone and they all have friends/contacts and that is without the huge potential of passing traffic. Treat your profile like a mini website – word of mouth is one of the best endorsements any site can get.
In addition to this, you also have the facility to blog about what you do and you can also include links within this to specific products. If you have a blog elsewhere then copy and paste it over to Web Mums. The more blogs you have around the internet – the better rankings you will get with the search engines.
There are new members joining every day, maybe someone will join tomorrow that could open amazing doors for your business – so don’t add a few links and never come back and check Web Mums again. It is to your advantage to use this site as much as possible – that is what networking is all about. Also the information that is being added all the time may just be the info you needed to accomplish a goal within your business/life.
And that’s not all, you also have the chance to hook up to an RSS Feed. This is particularly useful if your site has an RSS feed to your products – like eBay. Yes! You can display the products you are currently selling on eBay via your profile page (if you don’t know how to do this then ask me) this facility is currently free. Then why not put a post in the Buy and Sell forum to highlight what you currently have on offer so that people will check out your profile page.
The possibilities are really endless and this is the tip of the iceberg to what you can really achieve! Web Mums isn’t just a directory – it’s a network of women pooling resources to help each other.
Finally, if you are really serious about wanting to advertise your business then why not take out an advertisement on the main page so that you get optimum exposure. The prices are incredibly reasonable for members and can be discounted for 3 – 6 month terms. To view our current advertising fees see the forum of look under ‘Adverting fees’ in the navigation menu on the home page.
Also, if you would like to be included in the business directory, let me know – please specify whether you wish to be on the front page directory which is only £3.50 per three months – less than £1 a month, (This offer is valid until 21st March when it will then be £3.50 per month – which is still only about 85p a week). All payments are secure via PayPal – but you don’t need to have a PayPal account to do this.
If you have any questions or you would like further help promoting your site, then please feel free to contact me via my profile page or you can send me a personal message or email me at nikki@webmums.com
Like your website, nice and bright.
