Marketing to Moms BSM Media
BSM Media's November Newsletter

Where in the World are Maria Bailey and the BSM Media Team?
It's an exciting time in the world of Mom Marketing. Everyone from the world's largest retailer to the leader in family digital imaging is looking to connect with moms and BSM Media is helping them tap into this lucrative market. The summer closed with Maria's presentation at the In-Store Promotion Marketing Conference in Chicago where she discussed how moms use point of purchase materials to make buying decisions. Last week, the furniture world enjoyed the launch of the new Build-A-Bear Workshop Home Collection. For the last seven months BSM Media has worked with Pulaski Furniture and Build-A-Bear Workshop to design, brand and launch the first ever furniture line designed for kids by kids. Keeping in mind who buys the furniture, BSM Media held the collection true to what moms want in home furnishings. Recently, Maria Bailey has been on an Online Media Tour for UNICEF engaging mom bloggers into helping UNICEF spread the word about this great program.
