Child's Play Celebrates 20th Anniversary with New Services that Connect Marketers with Moms - Proprietary Online, 1:1 Outreach Programs Mark Agency M

New York, NY (PRWEB) March 19, 2008 -- Child's Play Communications, the leading agency specializing exclusively in public relations and marketing communications for products targeted to moms, is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2008 by launching an extensive array of timely new services to reach this important market. Moms today are responsible for $2.1 trillion in annual spending.

Recognized for its successful outreach to top media for the past two decades, and more recently for its broader online and direct-to-mom capabilities, Child's Play is introducing initiatives that will impact the purchasing decisions of today's multi-tasking, all-demanding, time-crunched mom. Designed to reach contemporary moms where they live, the 2008 programs include:

- Team Mom. Child's Play's very own network of mom bloggers, influencers who will share their opinions and product recommendations with a minimum of 500,000 other moms per month.

- Blogger Brunch. A special invitation-only gathering for the most important online media reaching the mom market.

- Mom Fests. Live events featuring product demonstrations and hands-on opportunities for targeted moms in major markets around the country.

The new features are in addition to current Child's Play services, including:

- Web Mom Directory. An extensive online program currently reaching more than 10 million moms annually.

- Insider Mom Network?. This unique relationship with mom networking groups across the country permits product sampling and feedback opportunities.

- Child's Play Media Luncheon. A major event for media that cover products for kids and moms.

- Child's Play Holiday Media Tour. Highly successful morning talk-show segments devoted exclusively to Child's Play clients and featuring a Child's Play spokesperson.

In addition, Child's Play will continue to offer its extensive media relations program that creates outstanding corporate positioning and product promotion opportunities among parenting, business and general print and broadcast media. This results in awareness and credibility - among mothers, retailers and the business community as a whole - that demonstrably leads to increased sales for the agency's clients.

Marketing to Moms

Child's Play founder and president, Stephanie Azzarone, a former journalist and public relations executive at top-10 agencies, launched Child's Play when she became pregnant with her son, Evan. While reading everything she could find about how to be a mom and what to buy for her child, she realized that moms were a very large and increasingly important niche market that no agency was specifically addressing. "We were the first," said Azzarone.

Today moms are responsible for 85% of all household spending, and companies recognized as leaders in their fields have chosen Child's Play specifically to reach this important and influential mom market. The agency's clients have included Hasbro, CVS/pharmacy, Music World Entertainment, Parents magazine, Elmer's, K'NEX, Sylvan Learning Center, Samsonite, Gund and Kidz Bop, among many other well known brands.

Child's Play has marketed a wide variety of goods and services to moms, including products for their children; products created specifically for moms and moms-to-be; and general consumer products for which moms make up a significant portion of the buying public. Categories represented include toys, books, TV shows, DVDs, music, baby care, Web sites, clothing, technology, education, foods and beverages, home furnishings, health and travel, to name a few.

"It's been an incredible two decades, both for Child's Play and for marketing to moms," said Azzarone. "Our target market has evolved from Baby Boomer moms to Gen X moms to the earliest round of Gen Y moms." The most dramatic change in 20 years? "When we started, there was no Internet. Now, 32 million moms are online and 67%* are there researching products. It's crucial for marketers to communicate in this space. Child's Play has adapted its services to the changing media and the changing mom alike."

As a result, "Today we enable our clients to communicate with moms in every possible way, to convey the messages that will motivate this audience to choose a specific product or service. We know what moms want and how to reach them. With 20 years of experience, we really are the experts when it comes to connecting clients with the mom market."

Most people who see discounted prices on travel will know that there are best prices elsewhere because the prices seem over inflated in some portions of the offer they are included in. This is especially true for people who travel extensively throughout the year because they have been exposed to travel deals and discounts many times in their life and the prices that are currently before them in an ad just do not seem right for the area of the country where the travel is featured.

The backgammon board game has been a firm favorite of all ages for at least five thousand years ? an unbeatable record. Even non-players immediately recognize the familiar backgammon set up with the board divided into twenty- four narrow triangular divisions almost invariably colored black and white, the circular black and white checkers and the dice cup and dice. Few other games have achieved such a high profile. However, backgammon?s popularity has had its ups and downs, for example, the developing of the doubling cube in America in the 1920?s boosted interest in backgammon, in particular the game played in casinos.
