Lori,

Why not just say hi to these moms and forget business? As women, we also have another option. Wear clothing and/or jewelry that advertise for you. It's funny...over the years when I make this suggestion, men always chuckle, saying it's not a good idea. Women however love the idea and report that it does work.

For example, over the years, I've had baseball caps that advertise my business, I've had diaper bags that advertise my business, I've had sweatshirts that advertise my business etc. I sell scrapbook materials so a sweatshirt that says "scrappin mom" is all I need. It's a conversation starter. Do you sell makeup? Find earrings that are a lipstick. Do you sell candles? Find a baseball cap that says "smokin mom", or have one made. Do you sell kitchen supplies? Put the words "cookin mom" on your diaper bag.

My appoach to business is to form friendships and see what happens. For example, if you and I start to talk, maybe you really dislike scrapbooking, but if you like me, you very well might recommend me to your sister who loves to scrapbook.

Set a goal of saying hi to one new mom each week. See what happens!!

Hope that helps a bit.
