Hi all,
i am tracey i decided that 3 kids full time university wasn't enough for me so i have decided to start an online business. My business is littlestorkbabyboxes i am in the process of doing my website.

i will specialise in baby gift boxes ( i know there's loads!!) but i will also sell welsh language clothing and welsh themed clothing.

I would say that i am not business minded or savvy but i have the determination to make this work.

All i am asking for is help with the best ways to get my website seen, and wholesale info for photo albums, general baby gifts. (hope this is ok on here moderators??)

I have been reserching for months now, so any advice from successful and well meaning people appreciated.

This is a fantastic forum by the way,
Regards Tracey:)

Welcome Tracey,

I'm sure you'll find a lot of the info you need from the lovely people on here. We've recently just launched our own website as well and if any of our services could help with building up your customer base please get in touch.

As for getting a bit of publicity for your site I think your story above is interesting enough to get a bit of local press interest - might be a place to start.

Looking forward to your future posts.

Mark

Hello Tracey.

I agree with you that kids + study = not enough. One has to have an online business to work that creative spirit. Well done you and welcome to the forums.

Hi Tracey,

Your business name and keywording are very important my advice is:

Use a name that people type in search engines for your business name

like www.baby-gift-boxes.com

It sounds naff but building a good search engine presence is built on following basic rules, if you want any more info just shout.

Good luck
