With competitive market prices, moms enjoy a seamless experience where an advisory team helps them choose the perfect products for their children.
“Mumerz acts as a natural continuation to Rahet Bally’s motherhood support services and allows us to serve millions of our moms who already trust us, daily consume our content, use our discount services & come to our fitness facilities. Mumerz also capitalizes on Rahet Bally’s massive insights on exactly what moms need as well as a seasoned advisory team that recommend what’s the best product fit for each mom’s needs based on Rahet Bally’s reviews across all product categories.” Nadia Gamal El-Din, Founder at Mumerz and Rahet Bally.
