Baby Swags was started by a busy work at home mom of three who had unique products and needed them to be marketed. Without having a lot of money for advertising and marketing, Phyllis Pometta, was forced to use her creativity and had to dig up her old skills of marketing that were learned in college. Phyllis received her degree in Marketing and Retail however, shortly there after, was married and started a family. Three children, one husband, a few pets and a unique business later, all that was learned came back to her.
It is a mission of Baby Swags to provide marketing and public relations strategies to other entrepreneurial women out there who do not have the big time budget as some other businesses do. In all reality many businesses are started on a shoestring budget and by a stay at home mom who will gradually refer to herself as a work at home mom and lastly, the entrepreneurial woman. Our specialty is celebrity gifting. We have gifted over 400 celebrities, and worked with over 200 small businesses since our start and continue to build relationships with many celebrity parents and we have now expanded our giftings to include tween and teens. We had hosted our first celebrity gift suite, the "Rockin' Lollipop Lounge" which welcomed over 40 celebrity tweens and teens into our lounge. Our gift bags will be seen and given away in a July issue of Twist Magazine. Baby Swags is growing by leaps and bounds!You don't necessarily have to have hundreds of thousands of dollars to promote your business if it is done correctly. By submitting products for review, product donations to charity events, celebrity giftings, proper press release writings, and web design along with excellent SEO, your business can go a long way.While we try to make our prices fair to our clients, you may be surprised to learn that you can pay well over 5000.00 for some gift basket placements and monthly pr retainers into the thousands. We try to cut that down so you can dedicate more money to producing your products efficiently and effectively. Your image becomes our image as our image is yours. We will treat every business client as if they were our only. We believe in one on one communication so if there are ever any questions, concerns or doubts, please bring them to our attention and we will be happy to discuss them with you at your convenience.Phyllis's personal mission is to help as many women as she can. She loves to see the happiness of success on other peoples faces, or in this case, in their voices or through their emails! *wink
