Weestock Holiday Edition 2010

I recently hosted a table at a great tradeshow for indie and boutique businesses in the baby industry. There were over 2000 people that came to see what “Weestock” was all about. There was a lot to see and do there, and I am sure the customers had a great time. The entire day was busy so I didn’t get much time to browse myself because I was working my table on my own. From what I did see there were lots of Christmas shopping options, maybe it was best I didn’t get much time to shop as I know I would have spent a lot of money. I was able to meet some really great women there in my area, we created a cute little island with our tables and had a fantastic time.

I am looking for a group of Moms that will do product reviews and submit their reviews via video! If there is anyone in Canda interested in becoming a KidmsartMom let me know so we can set it up. View all products that we carry at http://melanieeckel.kidsmartshop.com

Getting Ready for the Big Trade Show in Edmonton

Some members of my Kidsmart team and I have a booth at one of the biggest children/ family Trade Fairs in Edmonton, The Mom, Pop & Tots FAIR. We are so excited and are starting to get all the fine details ironed out. We are hopping to meet lots of new moms that have never heard of our company before, sell LOST of Product, Book tons of parties and maybe even recruit some reps to our team. It is going to be a blast, but a lot of work too. So if you have any advice on doing big events like this one please leave a MESSAGE IN THE COMMENTS.

2 year olds

Ok so my daughter is 2 and a bit, and of course you are probably thinking “Oh here we go, the terrible 2’s” well no not really she is really quite good I am so thankful.
She is although in to the “WHY” stage and you have to wonder sometimes “Do I really need to answer the why all the time” Like really when you break a concept down to the power of 5 is it really effective anymore, does the child even remember the original why?
I have decided to answer the why before it comes… “Come there and put your coat on, so we can go outside.”
And yet I still get ”WHY?”
It is so hard not to laugh and then sometimes I have to try even harder not to get angry. Children just say the funniest things you probable already know.
Ok enough of that.
I remember a few things that our daughter has said that has us doubled over in laughter.
- As she is feeling my Husbands beard –
“Fuzzy Like Copper” (our golden retriever)
- As we are getting ready to go to town –
“How is your day?”, I answer “good”
she asks, “and your work? Is it good?”
Holding back the laughter I then reply, “Yes it is good too...”

And I will have more for you because you know their little brains never stop growing. That is why we have to take so much care in what we expose our children to.

Staring a New Year off Right!

Ok so here we go venturing in to a new year, and I am sure we have all come up with our resolutions…. Right!

Well I really want to make my business work so we can have more freedom in our lives. I am going to be working hard at contributing to our family’s income. I have chosen a great company to work with, Kidsmart, it has all the things I was looking for. Products that sell themselves, great rewards, excellent work schedule, CANADIAN owned and operated. With Kidsmart being such a young company I can help them by helping my self, suggestions are always welcomed and they have great staff that are always there when you need help or just have a question.

Our products are so cool! Ok at least I think so, oh and so do all the other reps and now that I think about it so do all our customers. That should tell you something… OUR PRODUCTS ARE REALLY COOL!!

We try to offer as many unique, Canadian Made or designed products as we can. Offering a wide variety of items from Feeding to bath time and even toys for children ages birth to 5+. Everyone is sure to find at least one product they just can’t live without. To my surprise our most recent catalogue the Fall and Winter book even has a section for Moms, and their friends, you don’t even need to have children to shop in this area. What a great way to offer specialty items to your friends with our stay at home shopping experience.

By hosting a Party you not only get to have some friends over to socialize but you get to try out family friendly products in the comfort of your own home. Children are always welcome at a Kidsmart party, they don’t even know you are shopping, you can see which items they are drawn too and which products work best for you and your family before you buy.

The rewards, so here is what’s in it for you. Everything!! You have a fun time, no pressure sales, monthly sales and door prizes a Kidsmart party has something for everyone. By hosting your own party you receive 10% of the party sales off your order, 1 or more Half off items, and if your friends book party’s from yours you are able to purchase exclusive products only offered to hostesses at half price.
