The Belly Gets Bigger! Itsabelly Baby Planners and The Soft Landing Join Forces.
Online, September 28, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Itsabelly Baby Planners has launched a cutting edge and newly branded website at itsabelly.com. The company also continues to expand its belly by adding a new location in Kansas City. Itsabelly, the nation's first-ever baby planning company with a focus on non-toxic living, has joined forces with The Soft Landing, the #1 non-toxic feeding gear resource. Together we're bringing baby planning to Kansas City. This joint venture was a natural fit since both companies are leaders in their respective areas as their primary goal is educating new families about healthier living. Baby planning services have become important for expecting couples and for those who have uniquely extenuating circumstances such as being placed on bed rest, pregnancy with multiples, adoption or surrogacy.
Itsabelly Baby Planners and The Soft Landing will offer services such as going green with baby, baby gear consultation, registry completion, child proofing, nursery design and childcare sourcing. With this joint venture now in place, Itsabelly Baby Planners and The Soft Landing will be the only national baby planning firm armed with true expertise in the non-toxic and green baby space. The joint venture is now public on Itsabelly Baby Planner's new website itsabelly.com which unveils a new and exciting branding strategy as well as robust features such as a new parent forum and event calendar.
