I heard you say it-- Check out West Island Mommies today!

WORD OF MOUTH has undergone many changes throughout history.  Its definition is simple: it is the passing of information from one person to the other via oral communication.  Its oldest form is storytelling.  It also takes the form of oral tradition, folklore and mythology.  Why am I bringing all this up you may wonder?  Am I going to teach a history lesson?  Lol--- No.   I simply want to comment about how important word of mouth is in our society!  I want everyone to realize that word of mouth may be one of the single-most important marketing strategies to exist today--- especially with all of the social media that can help it thrive!  

It seems like everybody has launched a social media campaign these days.  Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, Pinterest, etc. are just a few social media sites that are helping organizations build a name for themselves. But how do you know that these organizations are good-- how do you know that they will do what they say they will do?  ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOUR CHILDREN!  Remember: your children are the most important and valuable possession (for lack of a better word) that you have.  You must always know who you are entrusting your children to! 

That is why organizations such as West Island Mommies are crucial to ensuring validity and safety when entrusting your children to a service,

organization or person that has not personally been recommended to you. 

West Island Mommies is run by two self-employed moms, Tina Wentzell and Laura Bodnik.  Both mothers of four year olds, they wanted to develop an online forum for parent resources that specifically targeted the West Island area.  They now have a Facebook page with over 650 followers and have recently launched a beautiful, bright and vibrant website.  The idea is that parents in the West Island can share and recommend resources and be in the know about everything that is child-friendly.  What better way to find out about resources through word of mouth?

West Island Mommies is currently developing a resource directory and a forum, has a blog and updates their Facebook page several times per day, providing followers with the most up-to-date information.  They are amazing at providing information, not just about services and recommendations, but also product recalls, safety issues concerning the West Island, where to find great coupons, and everything else you could imagine.  They have a business of the week and giveaways every Wednesday.  Like I said before, what else could you ask for?
