London – Central

Led by food industry expert Monique Borst, the Food Business Start-up Boot Camp is touring the country this year and comes to Wallacespace Covent Garden.

Starting a food business can be a daunting task ... you need to be aware of all the rules – environmental, health, licensing and insurance – competition is fierce and profit margins are small. You also need a marketing strategy to give your business the best chance of being seen and heard and a realistic business plan.

MyFamilyClub.co.uk in conjunction with MumsClub has created the very first campaign to help mum owned businesses advertise online without spending a fortune.

The 100 Mums campaign will give mum run enterprises a platform to shout about their business on newly launched parenting website, MyFamilyClub.co.uk for a fraction of the cost of normal online advertising.

For information about the campaign and to find out what the advertising package contains, please check the website. http://www.myfamilyclub.co.uk/100-mums/apply

The 100 Mums Campaign will actually end on the 8th March 2013.
