** Special post from Marlynn Jayme Schotland**

In dealing with hundreds of mom-owned businesses each year through Mamapreneurs Inc., founder Marlynn Jayme Schotland knows how difficult it can be for small business owners to navigate the sometimes overwhelming task of managing public relations. She was delighted when PR Newswire contacted Mamapreneurs Inc. for an exciting new partnership. On January 15, 2009, the two companies teamed up to offer mom-owned businesses cost-effective access to PR Newswire’s extensive database and wealth of resources.

Now Mamapreneurs Inc. members around the globe have the opportunity to boost their businesses by taking advantage of several discounts on some of PR Newswire’s most valuable services. “Many of our members have no experience putting together PR strategy, pitching to a national audience or writing a press release for that matter,” Schotland said. “This new partnership with PR Newswire opens up a world of opportunity for our members. In these challenging economic times, it is more important than ever that mom-owned businesses create effective PR campaigns, and we believe this partnership will help give our members a leg up on the competition.”

Mamapreneurs Inc. is a national support and networking organization based in Portland, Oregon. Membership is open to moms who are owner or co-owner in a business that is at least 51% mom-owned. Members represent all industries and businesses of all sizes, in various stages of business, and include both home-based and brick-and-mortar companies. Mamapreneurs Inc. hosts the annual Makings of a Mamapreneur Conference, The Mom Shop trade show, monthly business meetings, workshops and classes, playdates, mamas night outs, and special events. The organization also has a monthly newsletter, blog featuring the expertise of various mamapreneurs, private members-only forums, and more.
