I just entered Peter and I and our Kai Kids online boutique in a great contest going on over at Canadian parenting site, WeeWelcome.ca .

They are promoting the plethora of Canadian parentpreneurs out there, which is great, as we all could use a little help promoting ourselves and reaching new customers. Small business is a tough go, and many, like ours, can’t afford to do much, if any, advertising. We rely on word of mouth, or word of “mom” to reach new customers and sell enough product to keep our biz afloat!

If you are a reader of this blog and/or a Kai Kids customer, we’d really appreciate your vote!  All you have to do is go on over to weewelcome.ca and sign up, then vote for Kai Kids! WeeWelcome is a great resource with lots of articles, blogs, forums, groups and contests going on all the time, and a good way to connect with other parents in your city or neighbourhood.

So please vote for us!  We could win $20,000 of advertising in WeeWelcome’s web site, newsletter and printed guides (I can’t even get my head around that figure!) plus a trip to Club Med for our whole family (baby #3 is due soon, so we’ll need it!  We haven’t been anywhere outside Canada since before we got married and had Big Boy over five years ago).

Looking for earth-friendly products for your baby, pets, garden or home? Come check out the GreenMom Spring Market this coming Saturday May 31st in Toronto. We at Kai Kids will be there in a booth selling our fantastic organic products for young families. And, we have 10 free tickets to the show to give away to our customers!

So, sign up for our about-to-be-launched Kai Kids newsletter for a chance to win a paperless ticket to the GreenMom Spring Market! Just email us at info@kaikids.com with NEWSLETTER SIGNUP in the subject line. The first 10 respondents will each win a ticket, which are $6 online and $8 at the door.

The show takes place this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the CNIB at 1929 Bayview Avenue. There is free parking and it is TTC accessible. Shop for stylish green products for babies, kids, moms, families and home, and enjoy kids’ activities, free babysitting, organic food and a breastfeeding lounge. For more information, including a list of vendors, visit Greenmom’s site.

Even if you don’t win the ticket, we invite you to come out and support us and other local green businesses. Please stop by our booth to say hello to Peter and I, we’d love to meet you!
