>Our town boasts only a couple companies large enough to be interested in a
>"corporate lactation program".  A client at one of them convinced the boss
>to offer a program, and had me review the offerings of one such program
>and put my own prices on the items/services it offers, for comparison.
>
>Most of the items were things I already offered:  prenatal classes, pump
>rental, counseling, bf book.  My price was much lower than that of the
>prepackaged program, because there's no middleman.  It was a good deal for
>both of us.
>
>The service has been used only once so far - there just aren't that many
>pregnant women in the company - but she was delighted with it.  And the
>company, of course, gets to tout this wonderful perk without having to
>invest much in it.
>
>You might want to think about making an arrangement with large local
>businesses on your own.  It's a money saver for them and - if the
>businesses aren't huge - no particular strain on you.
>
>This reminds me that I really ought to offer it to some other large
>businesses around here.  Maybe sometime...
