BEING A PREGNANT AND POPPED PARTNER

 

In case you haven’t realised yet, you haven’t just signed up to be a Vendor at a normal pop up fair. You have also joined a network of perinatal providers that all have one thing in common … we help mums and families.

 

When you sign up for THE Baby Fair for MUMS you are automatically considered to be a Pregnant and Popped Partner for the 6 month period of that Fair cycle - a 6 month cycle is:

“May” Fair - March until August

“November” Fair - September until February

 

There are currently no imposed obligations on anyone in the network, because we trust that you will quickly see the benefits it provides when we all become visible to each other, and therefore we become more visible to many more families and of course, potential new clients.

 

Pregnant and Popped is not an exclusive network, we encourage and promote the concept of informed choice to families, therefore we actively encourage multiple brands from similar concepts to come on board and use the network, especially THE Baby Fair for MUMS, as an avenue to educate more people about your expertise and the choices available to them.
