Discovering Modern Cloth Nappies and Eco-Friendly Disposable Nappies

Sponsor Information for The 100 Green Promise Nappies Initiative

Thank you for considering becoming a sponsor of a Green Promise Nappy!

The Spring round is now open to new sponsors. I’d love to have you on board next round as we strive to reach our goal of 100 Green Promise Nappies!

The list below is a general notification list for whenever a round opens up:

This brief guide will give you an overview of what sponsoring a Green Promise Nappy will mean for your shop.

The 100 Green Promise Nappies Initiative is essentially a giveaway event - a turbo-charged giveaway! This promotion doesn’t last just a week or two, it will go for six weeks, for maximum exposure for your site and maximum entries too. This giveaway event is targeted at gaining new visitors as well as rewarding continuing visitors. Advertising online is such a tricky thing, I’ve decided to do this differently. My goal is to develop the concept into a well-known and regular online event for mums to come along and discover their cloth nappy options – and perhaps win one too! It is unique in being an ongoing initiative in which all sponsors share in the concept, and then your contribution to the Green Promise Nappy Gallery can continue to send you visitors, as your link will be a permanent one.

Some Benefits To You as a Sponsor of The 100 Green Promise Nappies Initiative:

Targeted visitors! My Green Nappy is a site focussed on the niche of Modern Cloth and Eco Friendly Disposable Nappies, so visitors are here to explore that niche, will have babies and young children. Your site can thus be seen and considered as an option.
Relevant back-links to your shop.
Ongoing ‘branding’ exposure – the name of your site will be seen over and over.

What You Will Receive For Your Sponsorship:

Inclusion in the Green Promise Nappies Gallery.
Inclusion in the ‘Spring 2010′ Gallery of Sponsors – that’ll be your shop badge linking to your Green Promise Nappy page.
Inclusion in the slideshow of green promise nappies on the sidebar of the homepage of the site – which has your shop’s name above the nappy you are sponsoring. (This will be includedwith several other galleries that I rotate)
A ‘Green Promise Nappy Sponsor’ badge for your website, and any other online presence.
Active links from My Green Nappy to your shop from the relevant galleries.
An open invitation to participate in other resources developed for My Green Nappy.
Collaborative and cooperative promotion with all the other sponsors.

My Invitation:

I’d love to have your shop become a sponsor of a Green Promise Nappy. Simply forward your sponsor fee as outlined below, and I’ll get you all set up quick smart. I’m burning my computer mouse and keyboard in the small hours when I have the quiet to get it done, but having many times written 175+ school reports in one weekend, I can manage this, LOL. Kind Regards,

To sponsor a Green Promise Nappy there is a sponsor fee of $20.

There are 3 options for payment:

1. By clicking on this button and using paypal to make a one-time $20 payment for your sponsorship position. I number the nappies as the sponsorship fee arrives. (if you need me to create a 150×150 banner for your site, choose the $30 option)

Sponsor a Green Promise Nappy:

2. Through Paypal, to my Paypal email: charndra@tribalbaby.org. This is a one-time payment of $20. 3. By Direct Deposit to my Bank Account. This is a one-time payment of $20. Please contact me for details. NB: Please ensure that you include Your Shop Name: ‘Giveaway’ as a transaction note / in the reference area so that I am able to keep details in order.

What You Need To Do Once Your Payment has Gone Through:

Register as a sponsor here:

Once you have paid and registered, prepare and send to me:

Your question for entrants and 1-3 word answer. Acceptable variations if relevant. (Try to avoid these though!)
A photo of your Green Promise Nappy, a nice large photo would be great!
A 150×150 pixel shop banner (or add $10 to your sponsor fee and I’ll make one up) It must be a static banner.

Remember to include your name, site and link!

Add your Sponsor Badge to your home page, blog, fan page and newsletter.

Here is the Sponsor badge for the Green Promise Nappy Initiative:

Setting up your question for entrants.

To qualify for a prize draw, the entrant must provide the answer to a question that you will set.

Although many entrants will already be cloth nappy users and enthusiasts, target your question to a modern cloth newbie. Imagine a mum using disposables and yet keen on the idea of cloth nappies, but totally overwhelmed about where to start, or a pregnant lady who is exploring her nappying options. You can assume anyone entering is curious about switching to cloth nappies. We want to nurture that in this giveaway event. Use your enthusiasm and expertise to de-mystify modern cloth, reassure that it is indeed fun, trendy and soft for baby, easy on the purse, and straightforward to manage.

Have a question with a simple answer, 1 – 3 words. What, when, which, where, who, how. Yes /No, True / False, A, B, C or D. A clear and definite answer, rather than an open ended personal response; avoid ‘why’.

Below I have a list of suggestions, you can simply pick one and adapt it to your site,then let me know the question and answer. Nice and easy. (I hope!)

About you, someone on your site
the price of a certain featured product
the price of a nappy bundle or starter set
a colour or print of a certain nappy style
the number of days from order to delivery
a feature of a nappy style
the answer to a common question
a true / false answer about a common misconception
find the name of this nappy (showing a picture of the nappy you want them to find and name.)
a nappy brand
a nappy term ( ie what a bit of nappy lingo stands for)
a current special that is running.

Just imagine – once a mum new to cloth has browsed around a bunch of sites seeking and answering a range of simple questions like this, she’ll be on her way to becoming a cloth nappy addict too! Myths will be busted, hesitancies erased, doubts soothed. Collectively, we will be changing the perception of modern nappies even more, together. You’ll have new visitors, new fans, new customers…

General Suggestions:

Have a clear starting point on your home page; a button, a menu link or a simple text announcement.
Link this to a page or a post welcoming entrants to your site, sharing an introduction to your ideals and aims, and your speciality or signature products..
Introducie your gpn donation, describe it’s features and benefits and link to where that style of nappy can be found on your shop. Say how easy it is to wash and manage.
Pose the question you’ll require them to answer, let them know how to find it.
You can do this in any way you like to encourage entrants to wander around your site.
Provide a link to the entry form for your gpn, perhaps a form link if time.
Provide a button for your facebook fan page, other social networking sites, with details of the benefits of doing so (pre-ordering, sneak previews, upcoming sales, announcing giveaways and what-not).
Invite entrants to join your announcement / newsletter list to keep in touch and receive those benefits you offer subscribers.
