Confidential. Not for Distribution
Changing the Way Families Manage Social Media
• Parents are using existing social media
platforms to share updates on their families.
These sites are not designed for this.
• Posting family updates clutter and dilute the
parent’s internet brand
• Existing platforms have confusing
privacy settings and a perceived
lack of control of information shared
• A social media platform that allows parents
to manage their families online presence
does not exist
• 70% of Facebook users don’t trust the site
with their personal information
Whose facebook profile is this? The parent’s or the child’s?
The Problem
*source: ZDNet May 2012
• myfamgram.com: a safe, secure, social media network
designed for parents
• Clean, simple layout for parents to digitally share and archive
updates, photos, and videos
• Each post can be tagged a “level” to share content only with
those who the parents approve, and who subscribe to the
content. Encourages frequent use without “oversharing.”
• Plug-ins with existing social media networks (facebook,
google+, pinterest, twitter, tumblr, etc.) to help facilitate reach
• Honest and straight-forward privacy settings that users control
• Over-time site becomes digital “baby book” – a complete
archive of the family’s growth and development
• COPPA compliant
• Free for users
The Solution | For Users
“Consumers going through major life events often don’t
notice, or care, that their shopping habits have shifted,
but retailers notice, and they care quite a bit. At those
unique moments… a precisely timed advertisement… can
change someone’s shopping patterns for years.
And among life events, none are more important than
the arrival of a baby... If companies can identify
pregnant shoppers, they can earn millions.”
- “How Companies Learn Your Secrets” 2/16/12 NY Times
For advertisers, MyFamGram will
deliver qualified access not only to
the lucrative new parent segment,
but the parent’s entire network of
relatives and friends.
Advertising access will be
provided through all development
stages of the child. The holy grail
for mass retailers, merchandisers,
and product marketers.
MyFamGram Connects Advertisers to Parents and their Network
Consumers are 71% more likely to make a
purchase based on social media referrals
15,100,000 consumers go to social media
channels before making purchase decisions
Facebook is the #1 online channel for
influencing the purchase of baby products
74% of consumers rely on social networks to
guide purchase decisions
Social Media Influence
MyFamGram is at the Confluence of Two Rich Verticals
Social Parenting
• 84% of marketers say social
media is important part of ad
spend
• Specific user targeting
(demographics, keywords)
• Consumers expect to be able
to connect with brands online
• $145 billion market valuation
of top 10 social media brands
(dominated by Facebook)
• Niche social media still in
infancy
• Moms spend 2x more time on
social media than general pop.
• Moms spend more time (5.6
hrs)/day online than all other
media sources combined
• Receive influence on parenting
from social media (53%) and
parenting websites (53%)
• Parenting: $2.1 trillion market
• Social media use has increased
by 591% in last 4 years
MFG provides
advertisers highly
focused targeting of
consumers and their
key influencers.
MFG connects users
with brands that can
improve their
parenting experience
Ad Supported Model
• Every page view will have 2 standard ads and “newsfeed” will have
sponsored content. Average of 3 ads/page view
• Ads initially hosted via Google ad network to build user metrics
• Phase 2 will migrate to direct sales supplemented by Google content
• “Freemium” solution for sponsored content. Free page set-up.
Minimum ad-spend (target: $50,000 annual) to unlock premium page
– no competitor ads, enable multi-media, unique coupons
• Using established social media advertising placements at first
• Premium ad opportunities for logout page, video content, photo content
Delivering Highly Focused Advertising Reach
• Advertisers will have access not only to parents, but also key influencers
• In Phase 2, advertisers will be able to buy ads based on standard demographics
(age, location, zip, previous behavior) and keywords (planning vacation, walking, etc)
• Mobile platform (with advertising) phase 2 priority
• Explore partnership with photo printing fulfillment service (e.g. snapfish)
• Party/Registry hosting
• Will also allow predictive ad buys and annual ad buys:
• Tracks along standard development path
• CPG companies can pre-buy ads before milestones, to get in front of
purchasing decision (e.g. transitioning to solid food, walking, first day of
school, etc.)

Core Users Active Involve Passive Milestones Total
40,000 200,000 800,000 2,00,000 3,040,000
Core users: controlling party / admin
Active involvement: Spouse / parents / core friends (5x every core)
Passive: Checks into site once/week. Extended family/friends (20x core)
Milestones: Visits once/month. (50x core user)
Key Assumptions:

babycenter
• Assumes users stick with site and won’t abandon
• Leveraging existing social media platforms will enable growth. If that gets cut off the model is at risk.
• Technical backend must be able to maintain substantial growth
End of 2014 User Adoption Assumptions
Need for Angel Investment

• Recruit and retain key talent
• International legal compliance as we move
towards globalization
Increase user adoption Launch Mobile Platform Direct Ad Platform

additional ad opps and
more refined targeting
• Increase user loyalty

value by 10x
• Provide unique
solutions for
advertisers
• Control own inventory
• Fast growth to mitigate
competitive risk
• See appendix for more details
Potential Strategic Partners
• Instagram $1 billion (no rev. gen)
• MFG would provide natural business extension
• Wildfire (social media marketing) $450 mill.
• Google+ is becoming niche social media site. Natural extension.
• Yammer 1.2 billion. 2012, MSFT launched so.cl
• MSFT (and Yahoo!) recognize missing on sig. rev. gen from social media
• Acquired babycenter in 2001 and Maya’s Mom in 2007 (undisclosed)
• Any large CPG company in baby space will be interested in MFG
