Something pretty special happened recently . . . In Touch has won three awards in The Mum Marketplace awards 2024!!! As the news is now settling in, and I am starting to recover from the initial shock an disbelief, I am starting to feel proud and excited about this achievement. These awards mean so much to me, as a small business I really didn’t think there was much chance of being shortlisted, let alone actually winning!
My goal has always been to offer support during some of the most transformative moments in a woman’s life: pregnancy, birth, and postnatal recovery. Each product and service I offer is carefully crafted with the well-being of both mum and baby in mind, so to be recognised in these areas feels incredibly special.
In Touch won:
🏆 GOLD Best Baby Shower Gift : Maternity Leave Package
🏆 SILVER Best Postnatal Wellness Service : Postnatal Massage
🏆 BRONZE Best Gift for Mum-to-Be : In Touch Acupressure Comb
My products and services were judged by industry experts and real mamas. They went through extensive testing across a wide range of areas from home use, sustainability, branding, price point & more! The judges feedback was lovely and goes to show that great products and services can come from small businesses, as well as the big corporations.
What the judges said
“You can see this is run by a mum that truly cares, who has curated a brand to support and help mamas pre and post partum”
“What an incredible baby shower gift this is, the ultimate TLC package for expectant mums. I would be so chuffed to receive this”
“Amazing mama, what a great business she has built! She should be really proud, most things out there are focused on the baby. It’s really nice that this is for mum. Highly recommend, what lovely services”
“Really like this comb. The packaging and branding is lovely, it’s also really good value for money so a great gift”
I was honestly shocked when I saw the list of other winners and shortlisted companies. My acupressure comb won over some HUGE brands and the Maternity Leave Package was in the biggest category in terms of the number of brands shortlisted!
Of course, none of this would have been possible without your support. Whether you’ve booked a massage with me, recommended my services to a friend, bought a gift or shared feedback, you’ve all played a huge role in this journey. Thank you for supporting my little business. The ideas I have for In Touch are largely shaped by my own personal experience of services ad products that I wish had been available for me when I was pregnant and a new mum, so to know that I am not the only one who thinks these things are a good idea is a great comfort to me!
