Kidwinks Launches; Allows for Family-Friendly Reviews
Chicago, IL, October 16, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Park Ridge, IL moms Nina Taluc and Jean Lemke today officially launched Kidwinks.com, Inc., which combines local search and user reviews geared towards kids. Kidwinks.com takes the guess work out of planning family outings by collecting and organizing facts and recommendations in one convenient place.
Taluc and Lemke created the unique site to serve as a central repository for finding kid-friendly events, activities, restaurants, shops and services in one’s backyard. Kidwinks not only helps visitors find all of these things, but also encourages user-generated reviews of them for an unbiased take on all the kid-related venues in the Chicagoland area.
To date, Kidwinks lists over 2,600 events, restaurants, shops, services and activities just in the Chicagoland area alone and early buzz has already brought a growing number of visitors.
“We created it to help parents like ourselves who want a one-stop-shop on what to do and where to go with their kids any day of the week,” said Taluc. “Kidwinks is a great solution for anyone who has a young child in their life but not enough time to plan and find places to go with them.”
Kindwinks.com is a first-of-its-kind website with exceptional features to make visitors’ online experience easy and engaging. Useful features include:
Extensive Listings – From restaurants and festivals to concerts, museums and story times, Kidwinks boasts an exhausting database of everything happening in its visitors’ own backyards.
Searching – Kidwinks’ database is easily searchable and can even be drilled down based on a child’s age and gender, minimizing unnecessary results. Of course, the site provides for searching by type of venue as well (i.e. activity, event, shopping, etc.) and even for sorting those results by distance.
Dining Deals Calendar – This very popular feature allows parents to click on any day of a calendar to get a list of restaurants offering kids´ dining deals for that day.
Reviews - Visitors can get the inside, unbiased scoop on kid-friendly locations or services by reading the ratings and reviews written by other parents who have visited these businesses.
Email reminders – Taluc and Lemke understand firsthand how hectic parents lives are, so they included email reminders to make sure parents won’t forget about that fun upcoming special event they saw listed on kidwinks.com.
Member Profiles – Kidwinks members can create a unique profile that protects their privacy while giving them an opportunity to showcase themselves and their children.
Kidwinks’ Picks – Kidwinks’ Picks are the kid-friendly favorites picked by the founders of Kidwinks.
Ideas - This section holds some ideas for fun, usually seasonal, things to do with children.
Contests, Coupons – Visitors can take advantage of coupons to some local hot spots along with monthly contests to win family-friendly prizes.
“We wanted Kidwinks to be not only a definitive guide for kid-friendly establishments and activities but also a friendly, entertaining and interactive place for parents and adults to share their experiences,” said Lemke.
The Park Ridge Chamber of Commerce is hosting a ribbon cutting commemorating the launch at 10 AM on October 22 at 32 Main Street, Suite F, Park Ridge, IL with Mayor Howard Frimark scheduled to attend.
