A Mom Pack is a packet of
advertising pieces coordinated by individual members in
order to broaden their advertising market to expand
literally all over the U.S. and beyond. The only
fees involved are in what you decide to create as your
advertising piece of the Mom Pack and shipping to those
members whose packs you want to be added to.
Although the Members'
Agreement with Mom Pack is that you do not charge a fee
for an actual Mom Pack, you can charge exact shipping
fees to mail a single Mom Pack to someone that requests
one from you. Generally, Mom Packs are not shipped
out, but passed out at events, craft fairs, expos,
doctors offices, markets, hair salons, with orders and many more
places.
Mom Packs are created by
individual members wanting to participate in building
their business. She requests fillers from our
private interactive list from any member that wants to
send to her. You'll get this information once you
apply and are approved for membership within Mom Pack by
joining here.
Once approved, you will get several emails and these are
very important to watch for and read through in full.
These emails are from the Mom Pack staff and are
everything from how we run things to what our list rules
are. We may sound a little strict, but this is to
maintain some sort of control within an organization
with thousands of members. You will not find any
'get rich quick schemes' or any junk stuff here.
We are all real moms in businesses working together for
success.
How
Does It Work?
Let's say
Mom #1 sends us a request to the Fillers List that she
is now accepting fillers to create Mom Packs.
Note: Don't worry
if you don't have the Fillers List info yet.
You'll get that signup information sent to you after
you've been approved on the main interactive list (join
link above). Mom Pack is an organization and not
just about creating or getting added to Mom Packs so to
get on our Fillers Interactive List you must be a Mom
Pack member of our main list.
To request fillers a member
specifies the following to the list:
-
What event,
if any, the fillers are for.
-
Deadline
for accepting fillers.
-
How many
fillers should be sent.
-
Where to
send fillers or email to request
address.
-
What type
of fillers she is or isn't accepting.
-
What size
to send and if they are larger, then
specify to fold them.

Mom #2 requests fillers as well, but doesn't
specify what she needs. You can email her and ask
her for additional information in private. Keep in
mind that some members may not accept fillers for
events, but for the sending as a special gift to those
that purchase from them. That's your option to
send fillers to those doing bigger events and/or to
those simply sending out with orders. Remember,
the whole idea is getting the word out about your
business.
Mom #3 represents a company that you already do, or she
represents a company that you do not want to be
associated with. This is fine. It is your
choice whom you'd like to accept fillers from.
We have a very large diverse group. You are free
to choose who you'd like to send or receive fillers
from. Just please remember it is very important to specify
this upfront so postage isn't wasted in sending to you.
.....and so on......
Once you start
receiving fillers for your packs in the mail, start
sorting them out. Make sure to keep them nicely
organized in your Mom Pack bag, baggie, envelope, or
whatever you'd like to put them in. Keep in mind
that Mom Packs are usually looked at later and what you
have left with your potential customers are a reflection of
you and your
business. These will speak for you when you are
not there. Therefore, fillers that you create
should be neat, legible, cut straight, clean, possibly
smell good, etc. You get the idea.
TIP:
In the past it has been very effective to put a code of
some sorts on your filler. To keep track of all of
this, you can print out our free
Mom Pack Organizer
Sheet. You'll know who you sent what to and how
many. If you send discount cards to Mom #1, you can put a code on those as: MP06041
and code Mom #2 as: MP06042 and so on.
This way when your discount cards are redeemed, you know
who the sale came through. This is just an idea.
Many members have seen success in it. One thing to
keep in mind is that you will need a spot on your site
for that code to be entered. If not, it's
senseless to use that kind of coding and may just use it
for organizational purposes..
