As owner of the business, I have traveled a great deal to the ENK Children's Show in New York City to get a sampling of the latest in the industry's products. As a result, BeBeCandy has fostered relationships with other small businesses such as Abe Jones (www.abejones.com) and Livie and Luca (www.livieandluca.com). Wholesale accounts as well as peer support are available from these companies. If the future owner wishes to travel to the ENK or similar shows, he or she will find a myriad of opportunities for new vendor accounts and potential business relationships.

The BeBeCandy site is also equipped with a comprehensive affiliate program run by iDev Affiliate. Access to this program will be included with the sale of the business. The affiliate program allows customers to gain rewards by referring new customers to the site. This is a passive way for the business owner to drive sales and advertise the site for a minimal fee (paid out to customers based on a percentage of their total sales referred).  The affiliate program  fuels interest and momentum for the site with minimal time invested on the part of the owner.

BeBeCandy's products have been reviewed by several sites, including Mom's Favorite Stuff and Mommies with Style. Advertising relationships exist with TheBabywearer.com (where BeBecandy is a featured and reviewed vendor), Pregnancy Magazine (where BeBeCandy was featured in a babyLegs ad) and Mothering.com. Google Adwords has proven a very successful avenue for bringing BeBeCandy products to the top of Google searches, as well as other popular search engines. Instructions to utilize Google Adwords account will be provided to the buyer.
