Sue Scheff: Personal Child Stories - Creating Your Child's Unique Memories


Using photos as a proven learning strategy, PCS books will engage each child time and time again. Every book is hand crafted upon order, page by page, laminated and coil bound. Books may be ordered in any language! Personal Child Stories books can be created for children of every learning stage, including children with special needs.
PCS was founded in 2007 and has grown steadily since that time. With a loyal following of friends, educators and community, PCS strives to be a niche market that fills an array of emotional and learning needs for all children – both general ed and special needs. Research tells us that the more exposure to reading materials children have, the earlier they will read and comprehend.
PCS encourages parents to put books in their children’s hands from the start and to offer personal stories and books containing photos of the child – for the most beneficial reading experience possible. Our books are laminated and bound and can be chewed on, stepped on, tossed, etc - with no damage done.

PCS books are hand crafted from start to finish. They are custom written, designed, laminated and coil bound for each unique child.Book themes include counting, the ABC’s, name recognition (top seller), welcoming a new baby to the home, adoption, fairytale style stories, potty training, training a new puppy, dealing with a special need (custom ‘social stories’), colors, shapes, explaining a divorce or new home…ANYTHING and EVERYTHING.
PCS custom books are exactly that: CUSTOM to each customer. As individual and unique as each child. While our books are created as learning tools, their durability allows them to double as keepsakes, giving the customer twice the value for their money.

When you order, you will simply tell us what theme you’d like, send us photos to go along and answer some questions to help us organize your book. We will help you every step of the way and can offer book theme and photo suggestions, too!

These are not your typical personalized children's books! Whether ordering for your own child, a grandchild, niece, nephew, friend's child, godchild, neighbor or even a student or classroom, your book(s) will be one of a kind.

Each child’s personalized, interactive story will be laminated and coil bound and will be theirs to read at home or to share with others: at school, play group, preschool, day care, family gathering, etc....

Sue Scheff: Mommy Perks!


People that know me, know I always share parenting ideas, articles, books, websites and more. Today, well, it is more! It is Mommy Perks! I am sure there are many mom's and dad's out there that would enjoy being part of a parenting network - check this out!


Meet Shara Lawrence-Weiss, owner of Mommy Perks:

Prior to purchasing Mommy Perks, I was a Mommy Perk Rep. I then become co-owner and later, sole owner. Over the last few years I have researched, read, studied, watched and compared a variety of marketing and networking trends. I have modified the way that Mommy Perks runs based on those changes and the needs of small business owners.

Many mom-owned sites are now selling advertising space. In my experience, these ad spots almost never turn sales. From time to time they do but not often. What does turn sales for a small business? Especially a niche business? Well, word of mouth is a big part of the equation. As a Mommy Perks client, I will personally buy your product (if possible) and test it, use it, blog about it and more. I will do this in order to truly understand what you do and how you do it. I can then refer to you others honestly and without reservation.

Research shows that 3rd party endorsements are far more effective than self-plugging. Of course you’ll say your own product is terrific, right? That will quickly go over many heads. If someone else is promoting you, though, the chances that your product or service will gain more attention are far higher.

I know this to be the case based on numerous factors. One of those factors is my other business: Personal Child Stories. When I first signed up with Mommy Perks as an advertiser (back in 2007), my graphic ad was placed on the website. Nothing came. Nothing happened. I got visits to my website but no sales. Since that time, I have built relationships with people – through the Mommy Perks site. Lots of book sales have occurred based on those relationships; the networking, marketing, word of mouth, having others refer me out and so on. By working together as a team far more has been accomplished. Newsletter sign ups, book sales, new friends made.

That is my ultimate goal with each business that I serve and help. To help them plant seeds and to teach them to water those seeds. It all takes time. Nothing grows over night (other than bacteria but let’s not go there).
Patience and perseverance, I always say. Slow and steady wins the race. Why spend money on flat ads being placed on a website with no PR to back your money? Other sites charge even more than Mommy Perks just to place your graphic on their site. Why not spend the money more wisely?
