We need to spread the word, and so can you help?
So far, we advertise in Home & Local, and we have leaflets and posters in every GP's surgery, library and Children's Centre. The local paper is just too expensive for our budget! We have Lindsay on the case name-dropping on the net (though do help her out when you can!)
Any more ideas?
All suggestions welcome!

Local sellers
Dear all potential washable nappy customers!
WHERE TO BUY YOUR NAPPIES:
It's all so easy to search the net these days and seek out the best price, knocking a few pence off our overall purchase here and there, and it's all so easy to forget our local hard-working small local businesses; they need our support! They may not have the backing of the large retail stores, but do give MUCH better overall value for money. Even if we may not be able to knock extra pennies off our prices, what they can offer you is invaluable one-to-one support and advice, even after you have bought and are using the nappies.
Some internet companies are able to offer you nappies at bargain prices, but the manufacturers and distributers aren't keen on these sellers as they de-value their brands, and they don't help to support our overall economy either!
It's a bewildering market, as you will know if you've even only dipped your toe into the sea of products that make up the washable nappy world, and it's all too easy to spend your money based on internet advice. What you need is someone to talk to face to face, to find out about what kind of nappy would suit you and your lifestyle and your baby. Imagine buying a set of nappies that then don't work well for you? As well as being a time-consuming, frustrating and messy mistake, what a waste of money!
An experienced nappy user and seller will have a good depth of experience of what is on the market and should be able to give you an opinion on whatever nappy you want to know about. It's worth remembering that not all nappies suit all babies, so whilst advice from friends is great, it may not work for you. Ask someone who not only has a wealth of experience themselves, but also has learnt from their team and their customers and can tailor their advice to suit you, as well as answer all your tricky questions honestly!
