Business in Maidenhead - Franchise Opportunity for Business-Minded Mums

For young entrepreneurial Mums who want the flexibility to work around their family commitments, Maidenhead-based DimpleMambo Ltd are offering a unique opportunity.

Jane Brocklebank launched the dimplemambo website on Valentine’s Day this year. The site provides parents with an easy-to-use marketplace to buy and sell secondhand children’s goods as well as acting as a resource for family-related information and events in the Maidenhead area.

Jane explains: “I come from a marketing background and wanted to use my skills in a way that could be combined with my family commitments. dimplemambo was the result”. Jane’s business partner is also a former marketer and runs a similar site in the Barnes area.

The site is an excellent source of quality secondhand items as well as offering a convenient and inexpensive way to advertise. The site covers the full spectrum of children’s goods including bikes, sports gear, and garden toys as well as prams, buggies, cots, and much more.

Jane believes the key to the success of the site lies in its local nature: “buyers can be confident that, as the items on sale are local, they can be viewed before purchasing.” Visitors to the site currently number at least 1000 per month - a figure that’s growing steadily – with a high proportion of return visitors. ‘Grandparents enjoy visiting our site too’ adds Jane ‘it’s an ideal place to buy some inexpensive toys or maybe a highchair for the grandchildren’s visits’.

With its parent-friendly format, flexible buying and selling facility, and local “What’s on” section, dimplemambo is certainly proving to be a popular formula. So much so that Jane is now considering offering the dimplemambo package as a franchise opportunity for other Mums. If you’d like to find out more, contact Jane on 01628 675584.
