TESTIMONIALS

“I first contacted Ryde District Mum’s when I first moved to my salon over a year ago and they were nothing but supportive and great! I recently contacted them again to run a mother’s day giveaway and they were knowledgeable, helpful and extremely professional. They guided me on how best to run the promotion and the results were amazing. We got over 200 new followers! Would definitely recommend them!” Julia – Owner, J. Parlour Putney

“Thank you to Jess and Jacquie @ RDM. Through our partnership, RDM have helped The Northern Centre achieve the positive community profile that helps us help our community. Without the RDM partnership, we would not have been able to achieve the great success we have in working with and building resilient individuals and families.” Cate Sinclair – Executive Officer, The Northern Centre
