Momaboard.com Partners Up With the Cranky Concierge – Together They Offer Family Travel Assistance

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug. 9, 2011 - Momaboard.com, the popular resource site for parents who travel with their children, has partnered with the Cranky Concierge to launch a Family Assistance Travel Package, a cost-effective and innovative service that helps travelers get through the logistical nightmares that accompany travel today.  The Cranky Concierge contributes the expertise of founder Brett Snyder, airline veteran, CNN contributor and author of the award-winning travel blog http://CrankyFlier.com, while http://Momaboard.com offers founder Kaamna Bhojwani-Dhawan’s expertise in the area of family travel.  The resulting package is tailored specifically for parents and children.  How many travel services do you know that will help you find flights around nap time?

Also new is the addition of Momaboard Travel Deals. Momaboard will partner with exclusive vendors to find vacation deals and packages that will suit its audience: i.e., mid-range and luxury options with family-friendly essentials such as apartment rentals, babysitting services, and discounts for kids. Over a dozen deals are up on the site now, with more being added regularly.  Check out our one such deal in the Virgin Islands, at the Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas.  

With the addition of these two new services, Momaboard is expanding its services beyond just content, bringing its readers valuable services in the travel arena.

Other Updates on Momaboard’s Growing Community

Momaboard launched its http://www.YouTube.com/user/momaboarddotcom channel; web traffic has grown by 8% in new visitors, with more than a 10% increase in SEO traffic (up to 35%). The Momaboard Facebook fan base continues to grow steadily (up to 2,400 now) and the community is active and engaged.  Twitter followers more than doubled to 694, and newsletter subscriptions topped 500.  Several more Mombassadors joined the site; from Moscow, Berlin, Istanbul, Toronto, and London, with Boston and Colombo coming soon.

Lively discussions were seen lately around two topics: Should Kids Skip School to Travel (also on Mamapedia) and Banning Kids from First Class on planes. The Momaboard community has much to say and is a great source for media to take the pulse of the parent community on such issues.
