Carie McNeil is one of the owners of MetroMamma,
a garment accessory design and seller based in Las Vegas, NV.
Last week, eHosting.ca had the opportunity to chat with Carie
and ask her to share her success story to our ehosting.ca
reader. |
|
|
|
eHosting.ca: Can you briefly tell us what MetroWrap™ is,
and how you came up with the product idea? |
|
|
|
Carie: The MetroWrap™ is
the most secure and comfortable child carrier on the market. Its
unique
design
incorporates
an age-old technique for carrying your child with the fashion demands
of today’s world. The MetroWrap™ is the perfect way
to bond with your child, enjoy your freedom and look chic while
doing it!
The MetroWrap™, is here today because we needed a comfortable, yet fashionable
way to carry our second born babies while chasing after our toddlers, running
errands, conducting business and doing household chores. We tried every carrier
on the market - without 100% satisfaction. Some of those carriers had good features,
but none were perfect - so we decided to create our own. |

E: Do you have any dads buying a MetroWrap™ for
themselves?
|
|
|
C: Yes. There are some proud Metro Pappas out there – and
they too have been amazed at the attention they receive while wearing
the MetroWrap™. That being said, our primary target market
is the Metro Mamma. |

C: Visual
Understanding:
MetroMamma™ currently
has one product - the MetroWrap™. This product is best explained
visually. Our Web Site uses pictures
and a video demonstration to showcase the child carrier. Sales Tool: We send potential
manufacturers' reps,
retailers and customers to our web site all of the time
Established feel:
Having
a professional Web Site gives an "established
feel" to outsiders when representing your business

|
E: What made you decide to launch your online
store and did you have any concerns before selling online? |
|
|
|
C: The
Metro Mamma is all about the on-line medium. She frequents sites
that are easy to navigate, have visual aids
that are easy & quick
to understand, provide more in depth information if she chooses to
look deeper and give her the ability to buy on-line in a few clicks
of the mouse.
Due to the nature
of the MetroWrap™, we knew we needed an on-line store and didn’t
even hesitate to set one up! Accessibility is key.
Nope...no concerns before selling on-line.
The Founding Mammas are on-line shopaholics… which might have
had something to do with our comfort level. |
