ZWIN PUB 08-06953 Mom and Baby-BfB_Life Saving_LO RES

Our ads launched in May 2009.

We’ve received wonderful feedback on our ground-breaking ad campaign, and have gotten a lot of interest from bloggers and websites who would like to run the ads as a public service.  We’re thrilled that others love the positive, provocative and humorous approach of the ads and want to join us in cheering on, coaching and celebrating ALL moms without pressure, judgment or guilt!   For what motivated the campaign, see the guest post we wrote for PhDinParenting.

Thanks to our wonderful friends at Frank About Women, who donated the six-figure campaign completely pro-bono, our most recent ad is now available in a variety of sizes for anyone who wants to run them, and we are giving away a magnet for every approved blog or website that participates!

Our gift to you for running our ad!

Here’s how to do it:

Anyone suggestions for improving this post are welcome.  I’m technologically challenged.

1.  Grab the ads.   For help with codes to put it up on your blog, see this post.  (Special thanks to Crystal Gold of http://www.thevervepath.com!)   If you need jpeg files, email me at bestforbabes.bettina@gmail.com.

2.  Link the ad to our home page (www.bestforbabes.org) or to the ad campaign overview (http://www.bestforbabes.org/help-moms-beat-the-booby-traps/)

3. Leave a comment below announcing that you are running the ad.

4.  After I approve your site (just making sure it is not a spam request), I will contact you for your mailing address and send you a magnet.   You will have fun finding random places to put it. :-)

5.  Bonus: Everyone who runs the ad and tweets about it will be entered into a drawing for a Best for Babes t-shirt.  Just put in your tweet:  “Our website is running the @BestforBabes ad!   Entries closed by December 31, 2009.

Special thanks to http://www.PhDinparenting.com for leading the way and putting our ad right up on the home page!   And for @cfoutz and @RobinPregnancy for pushing us to do this post.   You are all babes! :-)

Another suggestion, from http://www.phdinparenting.com:

Here is the code that I use for the PSA on my site, http://www.phdinparenting.com:

Best for Babes: Help Moms Beat the Booby Traps

Just drop that into a text widget and you should be good to go.

If you want to customize it or use a different image/size, then just replace the right components of the code.

E.g.

* If you want to use the images in Bettina’s post http://www.bestforbabes.org/2009/12/how-you-can-help-run-our-ad-campaign-on-your-blog-or-website-and-get-a-magnet/, then pick the one you want to use and:
o Replace http://www.bestforbabes.org/images/BfB_Final_Economic.png with the URL for the image you want to use (right click and then choose “copy image location” to get the URL for the image you want

o Replace the numbers in quotes after “width” and “height” with the numbers indicated for the image you chose (e.g. 150×150 would be width=”150″ height=”150″).
