The Mommy Mall Celebrates First Birthday
Cleveland OH (June 1, 1998) - The Mommy Mall marks the first anniversary of its launch today with the debut of a new look and a month-long virtual birthday party.
The Mommy Mall launched one year ago today with a handful of businesses and a dream to provide an exclusive shopping experience online, while helping to promote small businesses and e-commerce in general. It has since evolved to include a wide variety of small and home-based businesses providing products and services that range from baby apparel to web design and children's books to florist services. To celebrate this occasion, The Mommy Mall has premiered a newly-designed Web site, complete with a virtual birthday party which will include contests and online events throughout the month of June.
"The Mommy Mall has grown so much in the past year and our success has been encouraging," says Mommy Mall creator, Julianne Gentile. "When I created the Mommy Mall, my goal was to design an attractive web site to help promote the businesses owned by friends and clients who had excellent products and services, yet needed marketing support. I never had any idea that we would grow so fast in one, short year. We are now at the point where we are able to be very selective about the vendors we accept, while at the same time providing an excellent means of promotion for the businesses whom we list."
The Mommy Mall has plans for even greater expansion in its second year including content partnerships, the addition of new shops, and the launch of Home, Not Alone, a discussion list providing networking and support for work-at-home parents and home business owners online.
About The Mommy Mall
The Mommy Mall was created when owner and maintainer, Julianne Gentile, having found success in her online business, wanted to share her skills with the community that encouraged and supported her. She had a dream to create an environment that would showcase small businesses while at the same time providing a unique shopping experience for women online. Small businesses often do not have the budget to purchase online advertising, so the mall's purpose was to pool the resources of several businesses and provide some of the advantages that larger ones have. The Mommy Mall is divided into "shops" that categorize the businesses by function, such as the Baby Shop, Gift Shop or the Opportunity Shop. The vendors in the mall are selected from many membership requests, for their quality, customer service and value to the community. The Mommy Mall can be found on the World Wide Web at http://www.mommymall.com/
