Mothers Running Businesses From Home
Small businesses are closing left and right. Makers, artists, many of which are mom-owned businesses are the first to close. We have to tend to our families, we have home school, we can’t run side hustles as it’s often seen by the public. But for most, these are not side hustles. They are dreams. They provide supplement income for their families. They provide communities for women and mothers. We are giving them another chance to reach more customers,drive more traffic to their websites, engage with our audience and learn about how consumers are shopping during a global pandemic.
