Entrepreneur Pregnant With Excitement!

Creative entrepreneur wins contest with $700 in prizes for her unique business concept - Pregnancy Announcement Cards from the BABY!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Jacksonville Beach, FL -- Holly Nill-McKay always knew her business concept was a good one; but when she decided to open an Internet store to sell her product, she never dreamed she'd soon win a competition that would result in receiving hundreds of dollars worth of goods and services to help that business grow.

McKay's business, located on the web at www.fetalgreetings.com, is indeed a unique concept, allowing expectant parents to announce the forthcoming birth via unusual cards from . . . the baby! "I wanted a creative way to share my most exciting news instead of just calling family/friends on the phone or handing my husband a pregnancy test stick." Well creative she was, as she set about designing cards that feature whimsical fetal babies in various settings and positions with humorous and/or sentimental messages inside to relay the exciting news in the baby's own words . . . an idea that has expectant Moms oohing and aahing on women's message boards across the web!

Nill-McKay has been awarded more than $700 in goods and services designed to give her fledgling business, Fetal Greetings, a boost toward success. She is the first winner in a 5-month long competition sponsored by The Creative Enterprises Network for online merchants and service providers at www.creativethought.com. The competition awards entrepreneurs who've creatively developed home-based businesses and put themselves on a winning track through careful planning and active networking with their peers.

"I'm so excited about all the prizes! I know I have a unique product -- there's nothing else like Fetal Greetings on the market, and my customers are thrilled -- but I haven't had much opportunity to effectively market my web site yet, or even develop letterhead or business cards, which seem so basic. So winning this competition and receiving so many services and products that will help me grow is really exciting!"

What did the competition judges see beyond the unique product itself? "What made (Holly) bound past the others was the fact that I could find everything I wanted to know on the homepage in one quick glance and decide what to do quickly. I've rarely seen such an opportunity to get so much information from an ecommerce site. The artwork was great too. The company promotes itself well and has tons of room to grow and be one of a kind. This set them apart." Also . . . " her business concept was by far my favorite. It's one of those rare businesses that make you go "WOW!"
