Thanks to a very friendly producer on the Ireland AM breakfast show on TV3, I was able to get a 5 minute slot last Friday, talking about going green and saving money.
Given that I only had 5 minutes to speak and the fact that I needed a range of products to show, I decided to go for the real nappies (and a couple of alternatives to conventional washing power) over eco cleaning products and making your own cosmetics/baby ointments - saving these for another show! :-)
The staff at the studio were really friendly and I was enthused by the fact they were all asking me questions about the products before [and after] we went on air.
I got a great response from the segment, with more people looking at the website in one day than I had, had in the last 2 months combined! A few sales were generated and some really valuable enquires. It's also great to see that other people are starting to talk about EcoBrats on the internet, not just me.
All in all a great experience and definitely worth the trouble of sending the initial email.

Hey Clare! Congrats on the radio slot! Might take my chances myself one day soon if I've any trouble getting picked up by a publisher:)
Just want to let you know that your "5 minutes of fame" on Ireland AM was what inspired me to be more eco-friendly. I'm 3 weeks away from bringing a new baby into this world and have already bought 18 reusable nappies, 8 wraps, eco wash balls and dryer balls, and reusable baby wipes. I will also be breastfeeding so here's hoping that all the money I save will go towards the child's future and not the Pampers or Huggies corporations ;-)
