Bisson, a mother and entrepreneur, started
The Mom Entrepreneur in April 2008 after becoming frustrated with the
lack of mom entrepreneur support groups. Bisson, who personifies the
adage “necessity is the mother of invention,” created her blog and
subsequent online support group based on her own needs – and the similar
needs of other mom entrepreneurs.
At the time, her public relations and
image management firm, Bisson Barcelona, was experiencing a pinch from
the economic downturn. When several clients failed to pay their bills,
Bisson faced a tough decision – lay off staff or find other ways to
reduce expenses. She chose to cut costs by taking her son out of daycare
and moving to a home office. Unable to network in person, she started
experimenting with online social marketing and networking options.
“Through my personal experiences and
continued research, I saw an opportunity to create an online support
system targeting mom entrepreneurs, a demographic that has grown significantly
over the past five years,” Bisson explained. “I started my blog,
The Mom Entrepreneur, last spring and added the online support group
component two months later. These online tools have resonated with other
mom entrepreneurs, who have thanked me for providing much-needed resources.”
In less than a year, her online support
group has grown to more than 450 members. Her newest offering, The Mom
Entrepreneur Co-op Shop, the first collaborative effort to come out
of the support group, features products and services from mom entrepreneurs
across the country.
The co-op shop spotlights a variety of
products and services, including many wonderful options for Valentine’s
Day gifts, such as:
-
Organic baby food
-
Fashionable apparel
-
Jewelry and accessories
-
Children’s clothing and
toys

Bath and beauty products
