Home-Based Business Directory
Submit Your Listing Here!
Welcome to the ROCHESTERfamilies.com Home-Based Business Directory. The Business Directory provides a place for home-based consultants to reach out and share their business with the ROCHESTERfamilies.com readers -- moms (dads), aunts (uncles), grandparents, caregivers.
If these are the people your business hopes to reach out to, bring your message directly to them by listing on the ROCHESTERfamilies.com Home-Based Business Directory.
What is ROCHESTERfamilies.com? ROCHESTERfamilies.com was created by a local mom for local moms (dads, grandparents, caregivers, etc.). Since 2004, ROCHESTERfamilies.com has served as Rochester's website for families. Every month more than 4,000 unique visitors log onto the website visiting the various webpages (birthday parties, K-12 resources, parent groups, special needs), calendar of events (more than 100 unique family-friendly events every month), and weekly newsletter.
ROCHESTERfamilies.com is a committed member of the community, working collaboratively with local initiatives like First Steps, PAIIR, Channel One Food Bank, Crisis Nursery and Mayor Brede's Year of the Family. And ROCHESTERfamilies.com was just named "Best Locally Generated Website" by the readers of Rochester Magazine (August 2008).
What home-based businesses will be included in the ROCHESTERfamilies.com Business Directory? Products like Creative Memories, Tastefully Simple, Pampered Chef, Usborne Books, Discovery Toys, Cabi, Mary Kay, Avon, T&H Armcandy, Uppercase Living, Wildtree and more.
Why create the directory? We've done this because we've heard from a lot of readers ("Do you know who sells Discovery Toys locally?" "Do you know someone who can help me with my piles of scrapbooking photos?" "I need some simple meal ideas my kids will actually eat.") that they'd like to have access to this information, and have access to it all in one place -- the ROCHESTERfamilies.com Business Directory.
How do I get my home-based consultant business listed? To get your business listed, simply fill out the box below with your business name, product you sell, contact name, phone number, email address, web address and a brief business statement (up to 75 words).
Okay, this sounds pretty simple.... but what should should my listing look like? Your business website or brochure probably has all the information you need to create your brief statement. However if you need a little help, here's a sample listing that might be helpful to pull from when creating your listing.
GOOD FOODS
Jenny Jones • 286-4856 • jennyjones@charter.net • www.goodfoods.com. Looking for a dinner recipe the whole family will love? Want to make a delicious dessert that will impress even your picky mother-in-law? Good Foods offers a variety of gourmet foods and plenty of quick and easy recipe ideas. Contact me to place an order or schedule a home party.
But how much does it cost? For a one-time fee of $60 your business will be included in the ROCHESTERfamilies.com Business Directory.
Do I have to pay the whole $60 in one payment? Because ROCHESTERfamilies.com is a one-woman shop (and I need to spend my time making a better website and newsletter rather than doing accounting paperwork) I ask for a single payment.
How long does my listing run? All listings will be posted within 72 hours of receiving payment.
Okay, I'm ready to submit my listing. After that, what's next? After you've submitted your listing you will receive a confirmation email. In it I'll confirm that your listing includes all the necessary information (OR ask you for some additional information). Once you're satisfied with your listing you simply need to mail your check or money order for $60 to ROCHESTERfamilies.com (Lindy Lange • 1622 6th Ave, SE • Rochester, MN 55904) OR send a payment via Paypal (my prefered payment method). Your listing will be added to the ROCHESTERfamilies.com Business Directory within 72 hours of receiving your payment.
I've tried to make the process really simple, but if you have any questions, feel free to email me at lindy@rochesterfamilies.com.
