Guess what? Another volunteer opportunity!
This came to us through the Women in Business Centre:
...
I am in the final stages of site development for www.chickbliss.com and am in the process of launching my marketing plan.
I am looking for some help - perhaps some students from the public relations program to create some exciting press releases as well as plan a launch party and contact media and build "buzz".
Basically the site is about helping women express to their partners (and themselves) what they really want in their relationships. Especially the little things that are hard to say but mean a lot. (Main product: A personalized instruction manual created quickly online by answering ~40 questions and then a book is created to either download or have published and sent to you.)
You can get an idea of the concept I'm getting across by some of these videos I have created with a local production crew.
