I have found that in all areas of building nomie baby as a company the people I have encountered have genuinely wanted to help me, and see me succeed. There are so many examples from my manufacturers who have taken me under their wing as their "pet" project, to the stores like Citibabes and Albees who took nomie baby car seat covers early on, and gave me a chance. Most recently I was struck by kindness when I was looking for helping in sewing new labels onto the covers for a co-promotion I am doing with Kid Car NY, which is a car service specializing in driving families with young children needing car seats. All of their car seats have nomie baby car seat covers, which is great exposure for nomie baby, and the hassle-free cleanups are fantastic for them. To enhance our co-promotion I created labels with a joint nomie baby/Kid Car NY logo. I asked my storage company, Elite Logistics in NJ if they could help. They are aware that I am just starting out, and counting all my pennies, but I couldn't believe it when Cindy, woman who works at the storage facility, called me from Ohio. She was there starting up a new storage facility, and said that she brought the nomie baby car seat covers with her, all 30 of them, because her grandmother is there, has a sewing machine, and she would be able to help me out! I couldn't believe what an incredibly thoughtful gesture this was. Cindy and I have never met. We have only emailed one another, yet she was willing to go to this trouble for me. What kindness!
I keep learning that people really do do the nicest things! This is definitely something I will pay forward.
