Each trimester, expecting moms receive 8-12 hand picked goodies (packed in a keepsake bag) for each stage of pregnancy. A rigorous application process and vetting by a team of moms ensures that each Stork Bag subscriber gets a bag of the very best pregnancy products, often created by other mompreneurs and inventors. \u201cI want to show that you can be a mom and a business at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n
With the support of her husband\u2013\u201cHe said, go for it.\u201d\u2013 In 2014, Ericka launched the OB-GYN certified Stork Bag\u00a0\u00a0just in time for the holidays, with a goal of selling 100 bags in her first year.<\/p>\n
She did it in the first three months.<\/strong><\/p>\nEricka has high hopes that the business will continue to grow. \u201cI want us to be synonymous with pregnancy. The whole experience should be grand. I want our customers to want to keep coming back,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
To pamper new moms, Ericka now offers the PostBump Bag. Each PostBump Bag is created to match your labor & delivery method (natural or c-section) and your\u00a0feeding (breast feeding or bottle feeding) preference. It includes beauty items and recovery products for mom, and even something special for baby.<\/p>\n
