Proposal for your RESP Company:

Mom2Mom.ca is looking for one of the top RESP companies in Canada to help expand Mom2Mom’s vision and goals.

What we are looking for:

  • A strong & community focused company with representatives all over Canada.
  • To establish with the assistance of your RESP representatives in each city & province, their own local mom2mom chapter.
  • A company that wants to help connect parents locally & regionally as well as ‘put back’ what they receive into their communities.
  • Representatives who are willing to ‘be a part of their local community’ and organize social and special mom2mom events (ie. Children’s X-mas party, Mom2Mom Yard Sales, Mom2Mom Social ‘Get2Gethers’, etc.).

What your RESP representatives receive from opening their own Mom2Mom Local Chapter in their community:

  • Direct & exclusive market to reach thousands of parents in their local community via Mom2Mom website and their own local website/features (ie. Message forums, Social Mom2Mom ‘Get2Gethers’, Mom2Mom Yard Sales, etc.). For example, Windsor Ontario Mom2Mom Chapter receives over 5 million hits a month and over 25,000 visits just from parents in the local community.
  • Great opportunity to network and build contacts with local community organizations and fund raising event groups since Mom2Mom’s focus is on community resources and connecting local parents.
  • Opportunity to generate extra monthly income by tapping into the many income opportunities that Mom2Mom offers (ie. Mom2Mom Yard Sales – where hundreds of parents shop, Members Business Sponsor & Discount Directory where members save by shopping at certain sponsors, etc.).
  • Enormous opportunity to network and build contacts with local businesses since local Mom2Mom Chapters will rely on local business sponsors to help generate monthly revenue to support the chapter and support local Mom2Mom events.
  • Full control of business sponsors (advertisers) for their local chapter.
  • Ability to market your RESP company indirectly through Mom2Mom since Mom2Mom Chapters are allowed to market their local website/features as a local parenting resource in local community agencies that would normally not allow businesses to advertise.

What benefits does Mom2Mom.ca receive from choosing an RESP company & it’s representatives?:

  • Save time and resources from recruiting to many communities all over Canada since your RESP company has already established representatives in remote and distant communities.
  • Dedicated and monitored professionals from a reputable large Canadian institution with certain compliance to Mom2Mom content as well as their own RESP compliance departments.

If for some reason there is no revenue for a certain month (ie. All sponsor/advertising space has been filled) then there would be no fee paid as there would not be any revenue for that month.
