Hello, I’m Leisa, Mum to Daniel and Sophie and founder of Little Kids Business.
This story begins in 2015 when I wrote and published a children’s book called “Daniel and the Dummy Fairy”. You see, I believe that we can always achieve more by working together, so in 2018 I invited Julie and Dawn from Opening Fairy Doors to sell with me. This led to an invitation to another Brand and then another and Little Kids Business is now proud to have 200 Kids Brands registered to sell with us and I’m pleased that you are considering selling with us also.
With a common goal to provide quality gifts from your families to our customers’ families, we are walking on the same footpath, so let’s hold hands.
I have been lucky enough to work for some pretty amazing Corporate Brands and I was often recognised for my accomplishments taking out both National and State Sales Growth awards for the companies P&O, Princess, Cunard Cruiselines, NSW Tourism and Alphapharm Pharmaceuticals to name a few.
Today I also use my extensive corporate training and Sociology, PR and Communications University majors to also write Business Articles which appear occasionally in the Inside Small Business online Magazine.
THE BRAND JOURNEY
- Create your own store within Little Kids Business.
- Customers order your gift through the Little Kids Business and pay using the LKB checkout with either Stripe, Paypal or Afterpay.
- The order generates a new order email which automatically arrives in your inbox, advising you that you have an order.
- You prepare and dispatch the order to the customer within 24 hours (*n/a for personalised items)
- You change the order status to fulfilled and an email automatically generates to the customer to advise them that their gift is on the way.
- Your customer receives your gift and squeals with delight.
- Monthly, we pay you the customer’s order less our % handling fee.
As a Vendor through Little Kids Business, you have the extra ability to be found by thousands of mainly Mothers who turn around 60,000 pages within Little Kids Business each month. If you decide to register to sell with us today, you will never pay a monthly fee and the best bit is that you are not locked into a contract.
Imagine having access to your very own store which enables you to set up your own gifts for sale, manage staff access, see full reporting, see the visitor numbers to your store and even place your store on Holiday Mode so that you can go on vacation knowing that customers are fully informed while you are sipping cocktails by the beach. If you get stuck, that’s Ok as we are happy to help.

As part of this Scheme Childcare Centres can earn funding based on commission and use these funds to purchase kids items for their Childcare Centre or Playgroup from Little Kids Business.

BUSINESS DIRECTORY – NEW IN 2020
Welcoming a new baby home is an exciting and overwhelming step – and as children grow, there are always more questions that you need to be answered. Think of the Little Kids Business directory as every parent’s tribe – whatever you need, whatever question you have, we can recommend the perfect provider for them.
THE IMPACT OF REVIEWS
Reviews not only have the power to influence consumer decisions but can strengthen a company’s credibility. Reviews have the power to gain customer trust, and they encourage people to interact with the company. Customer interaction ultimately leads to improved profits for a business. We encourage our customers to complete a review by donating $0.50 from every review to our Charity of Choice, Mummy’s Wish.
