The end of the year is a great time to makeover your social media presence!

In fact,it is time to freshen up your social media banners and  update your profile picture.

Also,  this is the perfect time to take a look at how often you are posting  on social media.  Posting regularly, could inspire parents to stop by your page on a daily basis.

Moreover, Sharing quality photos increases your likes and shares.

If you are not great with making banners; don’t worry…. you can order fabulous social media banners on Fiver.com for as little as $5.00 a banner. Also, consider making over your logo  for the upcoming new year!!

It’s time to get to work on your social media presence!!

Building Enrollment With Video Marketing

 

(This blog post is a Freebie from my Marketing 101 toolkit)

According to Houston Chronicle, “Video marketing is but one option you have available as a tool to promote your business. Understanding the power of video marketing may help you to see how video marketing can be beneficial to your business and a good use of your marketing dollars.”

Moreover, Videos are easier to share over social media; it allows your website to rank higher on search engines, Video marketing helps to improve your brand, allows you to seem more engaging and is a great way to educate your parents about your program.

Today I want to share some video marketing tips with you:

  1. Consider making a video of the kids doing activities in your program (with the parents permission). Simply record the video on your cell phone and be sure that it is no longer than five minutes and upload to your social media pages once a week or even add to your website.
  2. If you are not camera shy; practice making 1-minute videos of yourself talking about your childcare business or giving parents a tour of your childcare space.
  3. You can also make cool videos of your program, by using photos with Animoto.com. I love this website and I use it to make videos of my Child Care Center!
  4. You may also want to create a You Tube Channel to upload videos of your program. YouTube is one of the top 3 websites as of January 2013 and it is great way to gain more business exposure.

Are you ready to start making videos? If not, practice first. I actually love recording my voice and adding pictures to the Video presentation with the Window Movie Maker on my computer. I would love to see your videos, so be sure to share!
