Local Moms Sharing Darn Good Deals
High Tech Mompreneurs Support Local Business Through Social Networking Trend
Company utilizing social couponing to offer daily deals to moms while helping local businesses thrive
TOLEDO, OH (January 26, 2011) - Ashley Kingsley and Whitney Trujillo are a dynamic duo of high tech, social media marketing, mompreneurs. The pair launched Daily Deals for Moms in April 2010. The avid trend watchers saw a missing link in the social couponing and group buying sites. The big conglomerates forgot about Moms. Moms spend over 2+ Trillion dollars annually and make 85 % of the household purchasing decisions. Kingsley and Trujillo bought up the space and launched a company all while changing diapers and warming bottles.
Social couponing site users will notice Daily Deals for Moms is unlike any other group buying site. First, they’re locally owned and operated. They have bootstrapped the entire operation, recently turning down venture capital funding. Kingsley and Trujillo know what is going on in their community; they live and breathe it every day. Recently, Jen Myers was hired on as “Head Toledo Mom” where she will bring the efforts to Toledo. The goal is to match the deals with the local culture. Daily Deals for Moms is also the first social couponing site to offer a cap. The pair saw blatant overselling of deals on other big social couponing and group buying sites which puts a huge strain on small business. Kingsley and Trujillo have a commitment to support small business with an aim to keep capital local; “Shop where you live,” says Denver native, Kingsley. They made a goal to run their site like a small business; One with big plans.
Kingsley and Trujillo pride themselves on the organic nature of their growth. They value partnerships, and have some good ones. The goal isn't to WIN - it is to offer the support that the small businesses are in dire need of, while building bridges in the communities in which they reside. Feet on the street are important to the duo. The company walks its talk; recently, when approached by a big restaurant chain interested in offering a deal, with great potential earnings, they kindly declined. “It isn’t where are hearts are. We are fully committed to the community and the mom and pop shops. This is where we live. We want to see our neighborhoods thrive” says Kingsley.
The company’s Facebook, Twitter and e-newsletter subscribers have grown exponentially since its launch in April 2010. The busy Mompreneurs have expanded into Boston, Toledo, Charleston, and Chicago, with 12 additional cities in the pipeline for 2011.
