We caught up with the brilliant and insightful April Nowlin a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, April thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. To kick things off, we’d love to hear about things you or your brand do that diverge from the industry standard

Prenatal ultrasounds are an essential part of a healthy pregnancy journey. And regular visits to maternity professionals such as an OB/GYN are vital to the health of mommy and baby.

Parents-to-be often visit the Little Buns Ultrasound and Baby Boutique studio because we offer a more personalized and intimate experience compared to a doctor’s office. Unlike medical settings, our studio is designed to create a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere, allowing parents to enjoy high-definition images and videos of their baby in real time with their family and friends.

This experience can be more relaxed, focusing on the joy of seeing the baby’s facial expressions and movements, rather than clinical details. Additionally, our packages include keepsakes like photos, videos, and even live streaming, making it easy to share these precious moments with family and friends, creating lasting memories beyond the pregnancy’s medical aspects.

April, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Little Buns Ultrasound and Baby Boutique is a unique 3D/4D/5D prenatal ultrasound studio and organic accessories boutique, dedicated to helping parents-to-be capture the joy of pregnancy in a warm and welcoming environment. Here, expectant parents can create lasting memories while discovering the resources they need to make this special time in their lives truly magical.

Our journey began with a deep passion for fostering the unique bond between expectant parents and their little miracles. As parents, we fully appreciate the wonder, excitement, and occasional nerves that accompany pregnancy. This shared understanding inspired us to create a space where moments of connection and discovery are not only possible but deeply cherished.

What’s been the best source of new clients for you?

Building partnerships within the maternity community was essential for growing our client base and enhancing the services we offered. By collaborating with midwives, doulas, prenatal support organizations, and maternity-focused businesses, we created a supportive network that benefits expectant parents.

These partnerships allowed for referrals and shared resources, ensuring that our services reached a broader audience while providing care and support during pregnancy. Engaging with the community through events and joint promotions not only strengthened our relationships but also positioned our brand as a trusted and integral part of the maternity journey, ultimately attracting more clients who value personalized care.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

The foundation of a successful social media strategy lies in prioritizing helpfulness, followed by community building, with sales taking a back seat. Many businesses make the mistake of focusing too heavily on sales, which can lead to missed opportunities and a lack of long-term growth.

To grow our audience on social media, we adopted a strategic approach that combined consistent content creation, active engagement, and fostering community. We began by gaining a deep understanding of our target audience and tailored our content to meet their interests and needs. This included a mix of informative posts, behind-the-scenes insights, and customer testimonials. Consistency was key, so we maintained a regular posting schedule and utilized various formats—such as videos, images, and stories—to keep our audience engaged.

We also made it a priority to genuinely connect with our followers by responding to comments, participating in conversations, and sharing user-generated content that benefited our community. To ensure our strategy was effective, we reviewed our social media analytics monthly, allowing us to track our performance and make adjustments based on what resonated most with our audience.
