TheBump.com (www.TheBump.com),
the fastest-growing pregnancy
and parenting
website, and AMC Theatres® today announce the Bring
Your Baby Matinees program in 68 theaters around the country.
Beginning today at noon, and on the first Tuesday of every month, select
AMC locations are offering a fun and relaxed atmosphere for parents to
meet, share advice and enjoy viewing a new flick with their babies. The
program kicks off today with The Vow and provides parents with a
comfortable and early daytime setting in a baby-friendly environment
where crying babies are welcome. Parents can park their strollers,
breastfeed and socialize with other parents in a theater that features
brighter lights and lower volume.
"With more than 800,000 posts per month on TheBump.com community message
boards, our community of moms is constantly seeking advice and giving
guidance to each other," said David Liu, CEO and cofounder of XO Group
Inc. "In fact, we polled our members to find out their thoughts on this
program, and an overwhelming 84% said they loved it. We're thrilled to
be expanding our online community by offering parents a real-life
meet-up to exchange advice and socialize in a real setting with baby in
tow."
Promotion of Bring Your Baby Matinees includes website advertising on
TheBump.com and AMCTheatres.com, geo-targeted email blasts and
in-theater promotion. Buybuy Baby has also signed on as the first
program partner. To find a local participating theater, log on to TheBump.com
