Finding a Friend...

It's a different world these days, every day. As technology progresses, it seems the avenues for keeping connected are constantly multiplying and expanding. (No pun intended although we DO encourage multiplication and expansion of a different sort!)

It's hard to figure out the way to be most helpful to our friends and customers. Gone (thankfully) are the days of having to print postcards, label & stamp them, and wait for our beloved post carriers to deliver them. Now, we can literally do things in the blink of an eye and we think that's a good thing...most importantly, for our customers!

We are encouraging you to forward our blog (this edition would be a good one with which to start) to friends who are expecting, may be expecting soon (or not so soon), and even new moms, as we'll have some gems for them along the way, too. There should be a small envelope icon that makes it easy to forward "Curious Cravings" to your friends & family. Whether someone is in the "baby making" phase of life or an excited expectant grandparent, we know they're keen on all the information they can get and will be grateful for the discovery.

Here are the top four places to find us these days...electronically speaking, of course -- as you can find us IN OUR SHOP six days out of seven!

• Our Facebook Group: Cravings, A Maternity Boutique - Join our group! Here you'll find up-to-the-minute updates on our latest shipments, lines, promotions & more...not to mention a place to trade ideas with other expecting & new moms.
  
• Our Blog: Curious Cravings www.cravingsmaternity.blogspot.com -- (Well, you've clearly found this one...) This will be a broader look at the maternity fashion industry, challenges of dressing your pregnant or recently delivered self, tips and links to bits we think you'll find intriguing and useful, the such. We would love you to follow us. Click on the icon on this page and our blog updates will come right to you.
  
• Our Website: www.cravingsmaternity.com -- More static than the others but here you can get a good feel for our "style", some lines we carry, and our basic 411 like phone, location, hours, etc. Plus, check out our list of links.
  
• Our eMailing List: indulge@cravingsmaternity.com -- Let us know if you'd like to be added by shooting an email to us. We generally use our email blasts for specific specials, sales & promotions...you can expect to hear from us about 2-3 times a month. We don't share your contact info and we try not to clutter your inbox. Promise.
  

FACEBOOK FRENZY FRIENDS DRIVE!
Perhaps one of our personal favorites, this is such a quick & easy -- but non-intrusive -- way to keep all of our group members current with up-to-the-minute news on the latest arrivals, new lines & products, sales, promotions and events. Facebook lets us send invitations for specific events but it allows YOU to check in, even daily if you want, to make sure you know the latest happening at Cravings. We also include information on fun things happening around the energetic North Hills area of Raleigh.

In fact, we love Facebook so much we are having a Facebook Frenzy Friends Drive. Anyone who joins our Facebook group by May 31, 2009, is entitled to a 20% DISCOUNT good for use now through June 30, 2009! Pass the word.
