<p style="margin: 0px" class="western">In dealing with hundreds of mom-owned businesses each year through<span class="Apple-converted-space">&#160;</span><font color="#0000ff"><u>Mamapreneurs Inc</u></font>., founder Marlynn Jayme Schotland knows how difficult it can be for small <a class="zem_slink" title="Business" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business" rel="wikipedia">business</a> owners to navigate the sometimes overwhelming task of managing <a class="zem_slink" title="Public relations" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_relations" rel="wikipedia">public relations</a>. She was delighted when <a class="zem_slink" title="PR Newswire" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PR_Newswire" rel="wikipedia">PR Newswire</a> contacted Mamapreneurs Inc. for an exciting new partnership. On January 15, 2009, the two companies teamed up to offer mom-owned businesses cost-effective access to PR Newswire’s extensive database and wealth of resources.</p>    <p style="margin: 0px" class="western">     <br /></p>    <p style="margin: 0px" class="western">Now Mamapreneurs Inc. members around the globe have the opportunity to boost their businesses by taking advantage of several discounts on some of PR Newswire’s most valuable services. “Many of our members have no experience putting together PR strategy, pitching to a national audience or writing a press <a class="zem_slink" title="News release" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_release" rel="wikipedia">release</a> for that matter,” Schotland said. “This new partnership with PR Newswire opens up a world of opportunity for our members. In these challenging economic times, it is more important than ever that mom-owned businesses create effective PR campaigns, and we believe this partnership will help give our members a leg up on the competition.”</p> </span><!--more--><span style="text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; border-collapse: separate; font: 16px &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: rgb(0,0,0); word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0" class="Apple-style-span">   <p style="margin: 0px" class="western"><b>Mamapreneurs Inc</b>. is a national support and networking organization based in <a class="zem_slink" title="Portland, Oregon" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=45.52,-122.681944444&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=45.52,-122.681944444 (Portland%2C%20Oregon)&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">Portland, Oregon</a>.
