Sponsorships
A consumer, cloth diaper hub
An international marketing campaign for cloth diapers.
We've all thought about it.
As an industry, word-of-mouth and online information is our strength, so we can turn our wish for an international campaign into a consumer-oriented website where parents, media, childbirth educators, and others will find reliable cloth diaper information. And, then we will direct consumers to you.
ConsiderCloth.org is the hub for that international campaign.
ConsiderCloth.org
Launched April 2013
ConsiderCloth.org gives clear and simple explanations of what cloth diapers are and how they work, building on an update of the beautiful brochure created by the RDIA Marketing Committee for the Consider Cloth kits distributed to childbirth educators over the past three years. (
Download and print the brochure for your customers - PDF 1.6MB.)
Business listing. One of the most important features of the initial ConsiderCloth.org site will be a directory of cloth diaper businesses. Consumers who see the Consider Cloth brand at classes and conferences will look at this directory first when they are ready to buy cloth diapers. Every RDIA member will be included in this business listing. You may also pay for an enhanced listing.
Cloth diaper demo kits. The Consider Cloth program started in 2009 to put cloth diapers into the hands of those educators and birth professionals most likely to reach new parents when they need information about diaper choices. We send a kit to a doula, and that doula shows the cloth diapers to dozens, even hundreds, of clients who are your exact target demographic.
New Consider Cloth kits. The Consider Cloth program has been a big success as 1,200+ diaper demo kits have been distributed to childbirth educators at conventions (such as CAPPA and Lamaze) and through the RDIA website. Kits consist of diapers and accessories donated by manufacturers, brochures with basic cloth diaper information, and a listing of RDIA members. New to the program is a Facebook discussion group where kit buyers can ask questions of kit donors, since some childbirth educators don't know much about the products in their kit. Sponsorships have been available in the two previous rounds of the program, and it will soon be time again to build new kits with new sponsors. All Consider Cloth Kit printed materials will lead consumers back to ConsiderCloth.org to learn more about cloth diapers.

Consider Cloth Business Listings
Each of the industry’s categories will be represented by a separate webpage contained within ConsiderCloth.org that will list all RDIA member businesses and sponsors (for that category).
The top 5 listings are paid positions (Premium Listing). After those are listed, remaining listed businesses will be randomized to ensure equal exposure. At the bottom of the listing page there will be an option to segregate the list by country, state, province, etc. Member businesses get a free Standard listing for the category in which they are enrolled but can purchase additional Standard Listings for each business line as required.
- Diaper Services that are enrolled in the DS Accreditation Program will have either the Accreditation in Progress or Accredited Logo added to their listing.
- Alternate Premium Listing allows for sponsors to obtain the same look, but location on the listing will not be in the top 5 positions on the website.
- All sponsored listings below last for a 12-month term beginning at launch date or your start date.
