So, it seems gathering clients is a lot more difficult than I thought it would be! I have two, but I am still looking for one or two more. I have faith that it will all come together when I need it to, but I am starting to panic a little bit because I am seriously considering replacing one of the families I currently have. I have an ad on kijiji, on here, usedottawa, facebook, craigs list. I have a pretty good ad I think, I think it's just really slow here. Even the "wanted: looking for childcare" are minimal.
I was going through the ads on kijiji this morning and I noticed a woman had added a free family photo shoot for new families. It got me thinking. What do you all think about offering first week free? I would obviously ensure they've signed the contract first and given a deposit before I actually give them the first week for free.

What do you think?
