Our Name Bubbles Contest – Where Do You Bubble?

When we sat down to write our mission and core values, we kept coming back to “Your happiness as a customer is our promise to you”. The words best expressed how we felt and from that day on it just stuck.  But, how could we know if our promise was being delivered to you, our customer? Well, you let us know.

Every Tuesday morning in our weekly meeting, our customer service manager shares your comments and suggestions with the rest of the Name Bubbles Team. Everyone looks forward to hearing from you – our customer, and we all get pretty excited when we know we’re doing a good job.

Many of your comments and suggestions are new and inventive places you stick your labels. Because of your enthusiasm for creative Bubbling, we’re happy to announce that we’ve redesigned our weekly contest so that you’re in the driver’s seat!

So what’s new?

Now when you upload an image of how you use your personalized Bubbles, you’ll also have the opportunity to vote for your photo and invite friends and family members to vote, too.  It’s easy, simply ‘Like’ your favorite, share with friends, and watch in real time as the votes are tallied.  The entry with the most votes wins and all other entries stay in the running.   So, if you don’t win this week, you’ll still get your chance to be a winner.  Each winning entry is added to our Winner’s Circle, given a FREE order of our Fun Bubbles (a $18.88 USD value, plus free shipping) and also gets posted on our Facebook page.  

We love seeing the creative places and spaces where you Bubble Up!

A Mother's Day Declaration

A few weeks ago Name Bubbles posted a news link on our Facebook page from Forbes.com Why Stay-At-Home Moms Should Earn A $115,000 Salary. The story explained how much stay at home moms should make if you calculate the various duties and responsibilities they have.  The purpose of the story was to put a number on the modern stay at home mom’s day-to-day deliverables. As you may be aware, the Working Mom vs. Stay At Home Mom (SAHM) debate has been widely publicized recently, but we didn’t anticipate that sharing the link to the Forbes story would start a spirited debate between our working mom and stay at home mom Facebook fans. It was a “Hot Button” and a few dads left comments as well.

I’ve personally lived both sides of the issue and found that being a parent  is never easy; you take the bad with the good and do your best in raising your child/children. I have one five year old son and can say without a doubt,  mothering or being a good parent is the most challenging and rewarding part of my life. So, why am I pushing the “Hot Button” again? Because our special day is coming up, Mother’s Day, and it is the one day I have no guilt or problem asking for help and taking a little time for myself. Of course, I do plan something with my husband and son but I love sneaking away for “Me Time”. I think all Moms everywhere deserve “Me Time” a little more often.

This Sunday, let’s make a promise to each other as mothers: kick the guilt trips and do something special for ourselves (or a fellow mom!) once a week for the entire year. Whether it be, reading on a sunny park bench for an hour, seeing friends for lunch or coffee, or dropping the laundry off to be washed and folded (I really like that one).

Make this Mother’s Day a day to declare, “A happy mommy makes a happy home”.
