Any mums out there with a background in fashion/magazine/PR?

[ihatethehighstreet]

I have recently set up an online boutique selling womens and childrens clothing and need some help in raising profile. Am hoping another mum might be interested in getting involved?

hi - I worked in fashion for many years and now freelance for magazines - what did you have in mind?

Hmmm, I work in PR and used to do fashion PR. Also worked in buying fashion etc.
Not sure how much spare time I have to help though tbh. As stargazing says - what do you have in mind?

I don't really know how pr works but since I opened in April I have written about 4 press releases and sent them to various magazines (grazia, elle, instyle, local and baby magazines)and various newspaper journalists. So far I had a feature in a Welsh newspaper (I am Welsh)
Ideally I would really like to get a mention in a list of good places to shop online. Or to be included in an article about women entrepreneurs or new mothers who give up their old jobs to set up something of their own and work from home. I thought that perhaps what I need is for someone else to spend some time on it, somone who already has contacts at magazines and is used to phoning up and dealing with journalists. I don't know how much you would usually get paid for something like this and as I am a start up you will understand I haven't got much spare in the budget. Also I'm not sure how long you would have to spend on the phone before getting something published. If you want I could send you one of my press releases or if you want to just have a look at the site it is my mumsnet nickname .co.uk
look forward to hearing from you and thanks for getting in touch.
