Turn Your Facebook Page into an Experience

facebook-marketing-1

My daily marketing plan includes sharing photos of our daily routine and of class room activities. In fact, I believe that Facebook is a great way to market your Child Care Business.

Facebook is free and its a great way to show the world all the great things that you do in your Child Care Business.

Furthermore, I want to challenge you to take the time and turn your Facebook page into an Experience.

Several weeks before writing this blog post, one of the parents that follow my Facebook page told me this: ” When I follow your facebook page, I want to be a kid again!”

Her feedback encouraged me to keep posting daily and showing the world all the great things that we do at my Child Care Facility.

So be sure to take photos daily that tell a story and entice parents to want to bring their children to your daycare!

Here are a few examples of what to share:

-Post photos of circle time

-Share photos of daily activities

– Share photos of your awesome staff

-Share photos of events

I think you get the point. The more that you share, the more exposure that your Child Care Business will get!

Most of all, every time that you share a photo,you are showing parents the experience that children will get in your Child Care Program!

Enrollment Building Online Begins with Your Website!

You website is your online business card and it is vital that your website is compelling parents to call you!

Two years prior to writing this blog post, A parent checked out my website, then she called my center for more information about my preschool program.

During a phone call with the mother, I offered her a Free day and she said, ” No thanks, I have already made my decision to enroll based on what I saw on your website!”

That was an amazing feeling and right now today, I still have parents telling me that they love my website.

Today I am inspired to share my Website marketing tips with you and inspire you to build a website that compels parents to call you!!

Here are 15 Steps to building a website that compels parents to enroll their child in your child care business:
