Attention Area Moms: Here's Your Chance to Become Mommy Bloggers

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct. 9, 2012 - BROCKTON, Mass. – Signature Healthcare is sponsoring the Signature Moms Blog Contest from October 1, 2012 to November 16, 2012.  All mothers in the South Shore area of Massachusetts are invited to enter. The contest will culminate with four moms winning $250 each and being selected as featured mommy bloggers for the Signature Moms blog.

The Signature Moms Blog has been very active for just over two years, with nearly 60,000 visitors checking out local, mom-specific posts from featured area bloggers selected from a similar contest held two years ago.  The blog has also received several awards from leading healthcare organizations such as the New England Society for Healthcare Communications and the Healthcare Advertising Awards.  Selected moms this time around will join Tanya Pimental, Sheila Gaudet, Martianne Stanger, Kristen Clifford, Jessica DiRamio and Abigail Keane as featured bloggers at http://www.signaturemoms.com.    

“Today, mommy bloggers, including ours, are some of the most influential communicators online.  Women are following them because they are writing how they balance being a mother, wife, provider, child of older parents, professional, or a combination of these,” said Vice President of Business Development for Signature Healthcare Marie Gross.  “We’re excited to welcome new mommy bloggers and fresh perspectives to the Signature Moms blog.”

To enter the contest, visit Signature Healthcare’s Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/MySignatureCare and become a fan by clicking the Like button.  Upload a video or post a short essay on why you’d be a great mommy blogger.  If your post is persuasive - whether it’s funny, touching or engaging, you could be one of four area moms selected for a $250 prize and the opportunity to become a Signature Moms featured blogger.  

Each featured blogger will write at least one post a month.  The topics will vary greatly, depending on the personalities of the bloggers and their range of daily experiences in the community.  Some of their blog posts will come in the form of video posts. The bloggers will meet in person quarterly at ‘blogger brunches’ to share ideas and brainstorm upcoming topics.  

With Signature Healthcare as the sponsor of the blog, readers can expect to find an abundance of helpful health information as an important ingredient in the forum’s content.  For more information, please visit www.SignatureMoms.com.
