Baby Genius, invented by Julie Clark. She was a teacher-mom who wanted to share her love of the arts with her baby. Baby Genius was eventually bought by Disney.

The Belly Belt, a nifty maternity product invented by Christine Kinninmonth, an Australian mom. The Belly Belt is now sold sold all over the world.

The TP saver, invented by mom Tamara Monosoff. It’s one of those why-didnt-I-think-of-that products and Tamara was ingenious enough to develop it. She set out to solve one seemingly small problem (kids using too much toilet paper) and went on to not only invent the TP saver but eventually set up a free online resource for other mom inventors.

These are just some examples of thousands of products that came from moms, inspired by their motherhood and love for family, or just from the sheer determination to solve a problem or fill a need. For most of them, it took a lot of work and resources to bring their idea from paper to reality. If you have an idea but don’t have the time or resources to do research, product development, or go from manufacturing to marketing, consider partnering with Unilab’s Link Up program.

Visit the Unilab Link Up website and read on the procedures, terms and conditions, and information on how ideas are evaluated. Click here: http://unilablinkup.com/collaboration-process/

If the terms are acceptable to you and you’d like to proceed and submit your idea, click here:

If your idea is good enough to pass the evaluation, you might just end up not only seeing your idea on the shelves and the bragging rights that go with it, but also receiving Unilab products and a cash reward.

The 3rd DigitalFilipino E-Commerce Summit 2012 happens this February 24, 2012 at The Peninsula Manila, corner of Ayala Avenue and Makati Avenue, Makati City from 9 am to 5 pm. Registration fee is P6,000.

Mompreneur Manila recommends this whether you have an existing business already or if you are an aspiring mompreneur! There’s so much to learn! Here are 10 Reasons why you should attend the event:

Here’s Mompreneur Manila’s 11th reason: Because being an internet-savvy business-mom gives us even more opportunities to build our business faster, easier, with less resources needed (and
from our home offices!).

For more info or to register, visit Digital Filipino Club.

What can we attribute this growth to?  I would say, the internet would be one of the main reasons for more moms going into business. More people use the internet, more moms use the internet, more people shop online. The rise in internet use gives moms who are home-based the opportunity to set up and run a business from home while raising her family.  The increase in the use and trust of e-commerce through sites like Multiply, makes the business viable and more feasible.

Another reason would be  events like Expo Mom (and we say this with all humility). Expo Mom (as well as other mom-focused events such as Working Mom’s All About Baby, or Baby & Co’s Grand Baby Fair) gives mompreneurs the opportunity to launch their products in an easy-to-book, short-term setting. They are able to interact with their target market, gather feedback, study their customers, work on their merchandising, and meet other women entrepreneurs.

We’ve seen our mompreneur partners, grow from their table displays to full booth set-ups at our expos such as Rianna and Sherryl’s Proud Mama Concepts. We’ve seen mompreneurs launch their start-up at Expo Mom and go into full blown retailing with their mall outlets, such as Karen’s Momtrepreneur Shop.  We proudly watch our mompreneurs be recognized and gain awards at major business events like Denise and Monica’s Indigo Baby which was recognized at the recent Go Negosyo Young Entrepreneur Awards.

We are so happy and proud to be part of this movement and we look forward to more business-moms’s successes and achievements! Here’s to Mompreneur Power!
