Keeping your business, you and your children up to date with fun things to explore, make, eat, play, see, shop.... Our website www.greatergeelongkids.com.au is now live! Bellarine and Greater Geelong Kids are designed for anyone who has the pleasurable company of kids. Particularly, parents, guardians, carers, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and siblings who live in or are visiting the Bellarine or G
eelong area and who would like some help with finding anything and everything local for their children to explore, eat, play, see or shop. Our live website www.bellarinekids.com.au is currently a great hub for advertising local retail or hospitality businesses, homemade clothing, baking, toy lines, groups, children's programs etc, and is guaranteed an easy site for users to navigate. Greater Geelong Kids and Great Ocean Road Kids will also be linked to Bellarine Kids and all three will work together to promote the local goodness that the Greater Geelong area provides. Bellarine Kids joined Facebook early 2011, and now has over 1000 organic members, plus another 550+ business (page) members! Stacey has received positive feedback via posts on Facebook, personal emails and after speaking to a few business owners. This page has started to link members and child friendly services and businesses within the Bellarine community, and has re directed user’s to businesses and also to the Bellarine Kids website. In this time, with the help of the great social network site Facebook and also through word of mouth, magazine, newspaper and flyer exposure our website stats have doubled since January 2013! Whilst ‘word of mouth’ is fantastic, it is easy to forget the name of that place or that business that is having lunch specials or where/when the next children's market is! When I have sat with fellow parents at a Mother's Group or simply on a park bench watching the children play, I have noticed how similar conversations inevitably occur. I have found that people are more than willing to share their expertise when asked and that there is an abundance of local talent and resources right here within our community. It's great to know where that 'home-made' dress came from or even where to get your child's first haircut. Along with Bellarine Kids, Greater Geelong Kids will be an information portal that contains all of the answers to the things parents and caregivers like to know. A quick search on an unplanned day could also result in: the location of a new recreational park, identification of a great local business deal such as a two for one smoothie at a nearby café, and a reminder that Storytime is on at the local library. Thanks to Greater Geelong Kids, an unplanned day could easily turn into a busy and fulfilling morning! You can now follow and be a part of ‘Greater Geelong Kids’ on Facebook and you can find our soon to be launched website www.greatergeelongkids.com.au in the very near future.
