Feedback
Those who have advertised with us in the past have been very pleased with the response they have had to their advert on MoorMums. Here is just some of the feedback we have had.
Caroline from Moorfield School says: “We love your website and a lot of our new mums have heard of our group through yourselves – Thanks.”
Angela from Yogamum says: “We’ve just run a 4 week advert on the rolling section of the MoorMums home page. In that time, MoorMums was our highest source of referrals (after Google). These referrals were also the best quality with 80% of them being new visitors spending an average of 11 minutes on the site and visiting 7 pages – so obviously those who are coming from MoorMums are the serious ones and are more likely, in my view, to sign up to our classes.”
Anna from All Saints Pre-school and Playgroup says: “We were really happy with the advert and thought it looked extremely professional and eyecatching. The links on the initial picture that take you to the more detailed page are fabulous; making it really simple for people to access information. It was very easy to set up and the Moor Mums team made a great job of our cobbled together blurb!”
Mel from Sing and Sign says: “I am getting loads of bookings from my recent advert so thanks very much.” (The advert had been live for 3 days).
Kirsty from JoJingles says: “From our 4 week advert in October 09, we’ve had 2 people join the new Ilkley class from seeing it on MoorMums so I’ve told those taking over the franchise that it is something they should definitely carry on advertising with.”
“We also advertised for 4 weeks in summer 09. I’m not sure of the exact response but I know I had one booking that mentioned the 10% discount from MoorMums – (which to be honest pays for the advertising so is worth it). For me I was more looking for the exposure and getting my new phone number out by any means than I was bothered about getting bookings (although the bookings help) and I have to say that I have received loads of calls about the classes. While I don’t know if they were all directly from MoorMums, I did only advertised with you, a national mum information website, on my own website and a local free family magazine so I have to say I’m more than happy with the response I have had back.”
Rachel from Yoga Bugs says: “I managed to get some great endorsements for the website which is very useful. At least 2 of the mums who took part mentioned MoorMums.”
