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!!

Are you planning to have a Camp this Summer? If so, April is the perfect month to start marketing your Camp.

However, if you have been too busy to market your camp; it’s never to late to start today!

The summer time is a great season for the business of Child Care. In fact, school-age children are out of school and parents need a fun and enriching place for their children to be.

Today I want to share with you 5 easy ways to market your summer camp:

1. Create a festive Flyer about your camp on your computer. Be sure to include the dates of the camp, events along with field trip information. Include a registration form with the flyer.

2. Start Marketing your Summer Camp On Your Social Media Pages; using summer related images that include a link to your website or your phone number.

3. If you own a center, display Summer Camp banners on your playground fence or in your windows. (If allowed in your municipality)

4. Send flyers and information to families that attended your camp in previous years.

5. Plan lots of fun theme based activities along with field trips and be sure to market all that you have planned for your camp! Need Summer lesson plans for preschoolers, join the Curriculum Club!

All you have to do is Plan it, Market it and they will come!

Much Success to you!
