We’ve got some more lovely new faces in The Nest this week. Say hi to …

• Tracey Donehue who, besides being a mother and teacher, is the founder and Director of the online ethical gift shop Ibu.
• Rebecca Wolkenstein who built the world’s first housing resource just for creative folk, Caravan.
• Georgi Lewis, a product designer with a penchant for designing objects that make people smile.
• Pamela Cook, a writer and writing teacher at www.justwrite.net.au
• Gill Stannard, a naturopath running City Natural Therapies in Melbourne.
• Sandra Krumins, an artist and illustrator based in Sydney. You can see her work here. Ps. Just received this lovely note from Rebecca Wolkenstein after only a couple of days in The Nest

“I was debating whether to list on The Nest.  I thought to myself, what the hell, there seem to be a lot of likeminded people listing and $48 really isn’t a huge amount of money.  Literally within a couple of hours I had enquiries coming in about Caravan.  For me, the important thing isn’t traffic, it’s qualified traffic.  And since the whole principle behind Caravan relies on likeminded individuals hooking up to facilitate cheap travel, having the Df demographic making enquiries is so exciting for me.
I imagine pretty soon The Nest is going to become a little commercial community of its own.  The shared value system and lifestyle really makes the whole marketing schtick unnecessary.  It’s a huge shortcut to my target market and it feels right and easy.  If you make one qualified contact out of The Nest, I believe it’s paid for itself.”
