If you have a product you would like to see on Mom 4 Life, we want to know about it.  However, first please read the info below so you will be more informed about the process.  If you wish to send us your information we will be happy to look it over and follow up with you if we are interested.

Please note: We currently have a wait time of about 1-3 months to have new products added to our site due to a long waiting list.

-Mom 4 Life only offers mom made or invented products.
-Mom 4 Life prefers to focus on products not readily available on the mass market or "big box" stores.
-Mom 4 Life is only interested in high quality, well made, useful and unique products.

If you believe your product fits the criteria above, keep in mind:
-You do not need to have a website for your product in order for Mom 4 Life to feature it.
-You do not need to be on other websites to be considered.
-We prefer to not have competing products on our site in order to offer as much support to the moms behind the products as possible.  If your product is similar to something we already carry, please let us know how you feel yours differs and we will take this into consideration as we consider it.

Please note: If you have a line of children's clothing (including snap tees and t-shirts), or baby bibs or blankets, we currently are very selective about the clothing we offer and are not actively looking for new lines.  If you feel that your line is exceptionally unique, please email us first so we can look over what you have to offer.

Please also note: if your product is baby carriers, you will need to let us know that you currently have liability insurance.

What Mom 4 Life will need:
1) Email us at info (at) mom 4 life (dot) com (remove spaces and replace (at) and (dot) with the appropriate symbols).  Please include:
-Features and benefits of your product (see note above if your product is similar to something we already carry)
-Images of your product
-Information about your wholesale price(s) and if you offer drop shipping.  If you are unfamiliar with drop shipping, there is a great article on drop shipping here that I encourage you to read first.  If you do offer drop shipping, please fill out this form first and then letting me know that you have filled it out.  Please keep in mind that we offer free shipping on Mom 4 Life.  We don't typically do any markups to the SRP (suggested retail price), so the shipping costs are deducted from our profits.  Therefore when considering if we can offer your product, we will take your SRP and then subtract the wholesale cost and the shipping/drop ship costs.  This final number is our profit and is the number we will look at to see if we can carry your product with a reasonable profit margin.  This final number needs to be at least 35% of the SRP for us to proceed.
-If your product is intended for use by a child, we will need documentation from you that it is up to date with the current CPSIA laws.  For more info about this, click here.
-Your contact info
You may enjoy reading this article and this article first before contacting us for tips on how to "pitch your product successfully".   The article 7 steps to get your product on store shelves is also good.

I will review your info and reply back to let you know if I feel your product is a good fit for our line and customer base.  If it is, you will move on to the next step:

2) A sample sent to:

Mom 4 Life
Attn: Heather Ledeboer (sample)
P.O. Box 813
Athol, ID 83801
(email me if you need a physical address)

Please do not send a sample before it is requested.

Why do we need a sample?
We want to see it first hand, touch it, feel it, try it out and see if it offers a "Wow" factor.  We want to love your product as much as you do and be ready to stand behind it, answer questions about it and promote it for you with confidence.  We have A LOT of products on our site but this is NOT because we add every product that is sent to me for consideration (in fact we turn down many of them).  We only add products we can fully endorse and feel excited about.  Typically we choose many of these samples to later use for our blog's "4 Free Friday" giveaway if we end up adding your product to our site, which creates some great additional "buzz" for your product.

What to include with your sample:
-Features and benefits of your product
-Fabric swatches if applicable
-Information about your wholesale price(s) and if you offer drop shipping (if you don't know what this is just ask)
-Your contact info

What to expect once you send your sample:
We get several samples each week for consideration.  Every other Thursday we have a team meeting and review the samples sent to us.  We may also show it to friends, family, or other moms to get their feedback.  We will decide if it fits the qualities needed to be featured on Mom 4 Life and request that you follow up to find out what we think.

When should you follow up?
Email us (info at mom 4 life . com (without spaces) anytime following the team meeting in which we have reviewed your product.  If you are unsure when this is, just ask!  Following up after your sample has been sent is a good way to keep us focused on your product and, in all honesty, we prefer for you to follow up because it helps us see you are serious about the process.

What if you want your sample back?
Please include a postage paid return envelope with your sample.  If you decide not to have your sample returned to you we often donate it to a mom in need or use it for a promotional giveaway for customers, thus increasing your brand awareness.
 

What if Mom 4 Life wants to add your product, what happens next?
