Announcing Our New Website, Poppins Perks, With Huge Discounts for Families

12/14/10 - By Anna Fader

On January 7, 2011 it will be exactly 4 years from the day that I posted my first post on Mommy Poppins. As the site has grown, I have asked myself what can I do, now that Mommy Poppins is read by hundreds of thousands of parents every month, to make a real, immediate difference in the lives of other New Yorkers. The answer that I came up with was to start a new site that would be dedicated to raising money for NYC schools. Education has always been a passion of mine and I have been a dedicated advocate of NYC public schools, which are struggling more than ever with terrible budget cuts.

So I am very excited to announce the launch of my newest website, Poppins Perks, which will offer great deals for NYC families with 40-90% off of products and services we love, plus each Perk will be targeted to fund an important project for one NYC classroom through a partnership with DonorsChoose.

I hope that Poppins Perks will enable you to try out more of the best things in New York City for families at unbelievable prices. Read on to hear more about Poppins Perks and our first Perk, a great Holiday gift for a friend, relative (or yourself!)

I hope that you will check out Poppins Perks and, perhaps, even share it with your friends and online communities. After the Holidays we will be offering one deal a week. I'm working with some of our favorite places in New York City, many of the ones that we've raved about here and some new, exciting businesses. If there's a business you'd like to see us do a Perk for let me know.

I would especially love any feedback that you are willing to share. There is a feedback form on the site that allows you to leave anonymous feedback or you can, of course, email me directly. Your feedback will help me improve the site and make it more useful to you.

Thanks for reading Mommy Poppins, I hope you will enjoy Poppins Perks!
