How we began...
Well I have been wondering what all this talk about Blogging is....so I investigated and here I am writing my own blog..where do I start????
In the beginning...
Baby Bug started in May 2006, I was a stay home mum and had my fair share of helping others grow their business so now it was my turn!
On with the thinking cap.
I had heard that there was money in Weddings and Babies ( I have had a few of each!) so thought I had more knowledge in Babies...so Baby Bug was born.
Baby Bug stands for the shopping bug, but with Babies!
I searched high and low for a top Web Design Company and found NZ Internet Services who have been amazing and we have grown the website over the years and now have a email management system...that is the monthly newsletter I send out to all my database in .002 seconds :)
For 3 years my house became overloaded with baby items and boxes...the kids were tripping over stuff and I didnt know when to stop working and lost the balance of family & work.
So I decided to open up a store in Papakura ( I am a born and breed in Ardmore ) so thought I would start off close to home.
I discovered the most custest little shop in Papakura it used to be an old bakery so all the walls are old brick and the floors are polished wood! So I got the brick sealed and the fun began.
Stocking the shop has been so much fun, I love organic products and make sure that all the products I source are of the best quality...
The respones from the public and my faithful customers has been great! Now they dont have to travel into Parnel or Ponsonby to get the organic products that they love!
We have been open a year this Month on the 1st and what a year it has been! More and more people know where we are now and word of mouth is our best form of advertising :)
Designer portraits have provided us with some beautiful pics for the shop and we offer a free sitting with orders over $150 which saves you $225...
Well that is how Baby Bug began and I will attempt to update my blog regulary so you can follow our journey... you are probably thinking that I have way to much time on my hands....possibly right :)
Anyway a glass of wine is calling me so....see you..
