Welcome to February's edition of the QLD Mumprenuers Expo. Firstly I hope you

are all safe and sound after cyclone Yasi. We coped the side edge of it here in

Hughenden at a CAT 2 and I was terrified so I can’t imagine what you all were feel-

ing.

We have a lot of changes happening at the moment with the launch of our new sub

branch SE QLD Mumpreneurs Expos for the Sunshine Coast/ Brisbane region.

Check out the logo below thanks to Gina from Groovy Graphics.

We are also doing a bit of restructure with the business and marketing side of things,

the launch of our website will be taking place at the end of the month, and instead of

the monthly newsletter we are going to be doing a bi monthly digital magazine

(starting in March) with a printed version for Christmas. The magazine will have a

lot more articles in it such as tips and tricks to starting a business, corporate brand-

ing, starting out stories etc. Anyone wanting to be apart of the magazine please email

us info@qldmumpreneurexpo.com.au

We felt that this would give us a bit more of an opportunity to expand on the news-

letter and help out by offering more advise and support.

This month I have started to integrate the magazine into this issue of the newsletter

with a feature story on our mum of the month and some information about our spon-

sors and a events calendar.

I hope you enjoy our new changes and we can’t wait to see everyone at the expo on

the 12th March 2011

TIP THREE

Budget , your budget for starting your business is very important. Your budget

needs to cover many things like corporate branding, marketing and promotional ma-

terials, products and much more.

If you are just starting out or thinking about starting a business be very careful with

your budget spend it wisely . Think about what will help promote your business the

most, what can you do for free, things you can do yourself..

Lesley Sims, Founder says that

"Kandji is a two-edged sword.

It is brilliant because It gives

businesses an opportunity to

generate new customers in mar-

kets they wouldn’t otherwise

reach and it gives local custom-

ers an exciting shopping option,

where they get to experience

new things at a fraction of the

cost. One of our clients said

that it is like an Advent Calen-

dar, for ever day of the

year!"Lesley Sims | Kandji -
