31a. We continue to offer free consultations and information sharing related to our mission via email, and over the course of 2006, we answered approximately 240 emails requesting information related to our mission, not counting inquiries into the REP Program (see below) or orders for educational materials. Perhaps 15% of these mails required up to an hour to answer, although the average time spent on responding to any one email was about 15 minutes. We directed people to specific pages on our site as well as attached photos or information to use in educating others about our mission.
Cost: $267b. We expanded services to Spanish language audiences through our website, by translating and adding a variety of educational articles related to our mission. We added our Information Brochure in Spanish as well as an article on The Rebozo Way Project that was printed in a Mexican magazine on pregnancy and birth. Site use by Spanish language audience increased from an average of 15-18% (800 hits/day) in 2005 to an average of 25% by the summer of 2006, and then up to 37% of the usage (in the fall of 2006, after the Spanish language networking we did at the Babywearing Conference in August, and after adding more articles and services in Spanish..
