New Go-To Website For Parents Debuts in Glastonbury, CT
Hulafrog launches local community guide with hundreds of family activities & resources.
GLASTONBURY, CT – Wondering what to do with the kids this week? Look no further. Hulafrog, a national network of local community guides for parents, has launched its latest website for the Glastonbury area. The site promises moms (and dads, too) a daily dose of the best local activities, destinations, deals and other resources for families. Hulafrog answers many of the questions parents often ask each other such as “Where can I take my toddler today? What’s the best place for my daughter’s 6th birthday party? Which preschool has the best reviews? or What can my family do this weekend?”
Created by Moms (and Dads)
Hulafrog was launched in 2010 by Sherry Lombardi and Kerry Bowbliss, two serial entrepreneur moms out of the NYC area, who desperately needed a better way to keep track of all there was for kids to do in their community. Since then, local Hulafrog sites have been debuting across the country. Each site is run by a mom or dad (the publisher) as a part-time business from home and covers about a dozen towns within a 15-mile radius.
Fresh, Local Info For Families on the Go
The key to delivering a valuable resource to the community is being “current and comprehensive,” says publisher Jennifer Greenberg. She is a mom of a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old who runs Hulafrog out of her home in Middletown, CT. “Our site is new and already has hundreds of upcoming events and hundreds more businesses– from indoor play centers to kid-friendly restaurants to pediatricians – that matter to parents.”
Community Curation
Hulafrog also has many interactive features that make it even better as time passes and locals use it.The site is filled with content that’s added by the people in the community. Local business owners add information about their stores and studios. Everyone can post events for kids and families. Parents rate that content by using the “Love It” button, helping the best programs bubble up to the top, and adding comments, tips and reviews. Timely “Most Loved” editions help parents find the best of the best.
Less Time Looking for Things to Do = More Time Doing Fun Things
Subscribers get an “Our Pick” email alert with a heads up on key events for coming week and weekend, as well as some ideas for big upcoming events they won’t want to miss. Parents can subscribe for free at http://hulafrog.com/glastonbury-ct.
A Free Marketing Tool for Local Business
Business owners and event organizers can update their listings and post events to the site for free. Publishers can help maximize exposure on the site frequented by the coveted, active CEO of the Household Moms.
