Here at Ddrops Company, we are of the opinion that Moms can have substantial influence on the health of Canadians. Not only are Moms often the caregivers for their children and other loved ones, but they sometimes openly share their personal health-related experiences and advice with other Moms online.
A recent poll by CBC News / Leger Marketing showed that 41% of Canadians search for health advice online, and that 67% trust the information that they are getting from online sources. This gives a lot of importance to the health information that Mom bloggers share online.
Ddrops Bliss contest
So we asked Canadian Mom bloggers to tell us how they believe Mom bloggers can influence the health of Canadians. To make this more fun, each article written was counted as a contest entry to win one of four sponsorships to Blissdom Canada ’11, a conference targeted to women bloggers. For complete details about the Ddrops Bliss contest and the prize, click here. Twenty Canadian Mom bloggers submitted an article and entered the contest. The public had the opportunity to read the articles and vote for up to two of their favorite entries. There were slightly over 900 votes.
After careful evaluation of the votes, and removal of duplicate votes, here are the 4 lucky winners of the Ddrops Bliss contest (in alphabetical order):
- Mommy Moment: “Mom bloggers have positive impact on the health of Canadians“
- My Organized Chaos: “Mom Bloggers Make a Difference!“
- The Momma Stuff Blog: “Mom Blogging Matters “
- Whispered Inspirations: “Nurturing is Universal. “
Congratulations to the four winning Canadian Mom bloggers! We will be in touch with each of you individually.
We would like to thank all of the twenty contestants for participating in the contest. Their articles were inspiring, and they showed a lot of passion in getting the word out about the contest to encourage people to vote. We are grateful that they took the time and interest to be involved in our contest, and we so appreciated the opportunity to get to know them better. And of course, thank you to everybody who voted. We know it was a difficult choice for many of you as the Canadian Mom blogging circle is a very tight network.
And now, we just wait to find out the date and location for Blissdom Canada ’11 !!
