Adopt a Mummy Blogger

Mar 22, 2010 by cafebebemama

The UK Parent Blogging community has a very exciting event on the horizon- CyberMummy is coming on 3 July, 2010! Taking place at the Ibis London Earls Court, CyberMummy will be bringing together the UK’s best and brightest parent bloggers for an educational and networking conference. The one day event will have amazing speakers on a variety of technical subjects as well as bloggers who will be sharing their own expertise. It’s going to be THE place to be for UK Parent Bloggers…who wouldn’t want to go?

Well, I’d like to go! I’d like to learn and network and share. However, as a Mummy Blogger who is also a Stay-At-Home-Mum in a one-income family, the conference fee is a bit steep for our family budget. The ticket for CyberMummy is a mere £80 which is quite a good rate for an all-day conference. £80 is a good week’s grocery shop for my family. It’s not fair to take £80 away from my amazing Little Miss and wonderful hubby even if it means that Mummy gets a day away to learn and schmooze.

I thought that I would let the legions of PR’s and companies who are beating down the door at Cafe Bebe get the chance to SPONSOR me to attend CyberMummy. The PR/Company would pay for my £80 CyberMummy ticket and if they’re feeling really gracious, consider reimbursing me for any train travel to London and back. In return, PR’s/Companies will get the following from me:

• A mention and logo placement in any posts about CyberMummy including any live blogging/tweeting on the day of the Conference.
• The chance to meet me, the 67th ranked parent blog in the Tots 100 Index, at the conference (provided you spend the £250 ticket fee for PR’s…you can write that off on your expense account…it’s no biggie is it??) and have a chat about your clients/programmes/services/products which might be of interest to me at Cafe Bebe.
• An opportunity to run a small advert/banner on my blog from April 15 to August 31
• A blogger with integrity and a fairly decent following.

You will NOT get the following from me if you should choose to sponsor me:

• A blogger who will sell her soul for anything offered. I have standards and will not support JUST anything or anyone.
• I WILL NOT WEAR A T-SHIRT SAYING “SPONSORED BY…”! I may not have an exceptional fashion sense but come on…no way!
• A blogger who automatically says yes to every press release or product review. If it fits with me, my family and my readers I’ll consider your “pitch” but I guarantee that I won’t say “HOW HIGH” if you ask me to “JUMP”.
• You won’t get the UK’s top blogger or even one with 10,000 hits a day. You will get a blogger who is an active Twitter-er (I am a PERSONA, so says Klout), a very active writer (averaging 5.4 posts per week) and a very hard worker.

I’ve carried on too long now…let me speak for myself! If you like what you read and you enjoy my vlog post which follows and would like to sponsor me to attend CyberMummy 2010 in London on 3 July, get in contact with me through the Contact Us page on the top of the homepage OR leave me a comment. I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your time & generosity!
