AUSTRALIAN BABY GUIDE ON SALE & ONLINE MARCH 2009

The AUSTRALIAN BABY GUIDE is the new title in 2009 for The Nappy Bag Book.

The printed edition of the AUSTRALIAN BABY GUIDE and the online version www.australianbabyguide.com.au will both be available March 2009.

After ten years of publishing Australia’s most comprehensive and reputable resource guide for parents with young children we have decided it’s time for a re-design and a new format while maintaining the same quality content we are known for.

The AUSTRALIAN BABY GUIDE will be a mix of authoritative articles; vox populi contributed by 50 parents, industry professionals and celebrities; and our resource section of biblical proportions – over 3,500 products and services all listed with enough information to inform and guide Australian parents with children aged 0 to 3 years.

Just like its predecessor, printed copies of the AUSTRALIAN BABY GUIDE will be given to first-time mums in pre-natal classes (not in conjunction with any sample bag promotion) in leading maternity hospitals nationally – see list of participating hospitals below. Other distribution channels for the printed book include BIG W, bookstores nationally, international and national relocation companies, Medibank Private campaigns and national parenting expos.

Early in 2009 our new site, www.australianbabyguide.com.au, will go live and promises to be the most comprehensive resource of its kind in Australia. All content in the book will be published simultaneously online and so every participating business will be featured in print and, at no additional cost, on our website. Whatever space you take in the book, whether it’s a free editorial listing or a full page advertisement, you will be given that same presence online.

If you would like your business included in 2009 please peruse our Display Advertising Rates for further details and fill out our Free Editorial Listing Form.

We look forward to discussing the 2009 edition of the AUSTRALIAN BABY GUIDE – both the printed
and online versions – with you and please feel free to contact us with any questions by phoning
