An ex-client (who is the only mom who has become my friend and client at the same time) became friend with the Director of one of the branches of a very reputable daycare center chain (2 of my current clients could not get a spot there and ended up with me). Since the branch that is closer to my house does not have infant room and they get so many inquires about it a few months ago my friend offered to give the director flyers of my daycare. She just called me a few minutes ago and asked me if I could give her more fliers because the director ran out of them.
Now I got it why these 2 moms I have now ended up with me almost at the same time when they did not found a spot there (I just though my fliers would be overlooked or tossed away). It never occurred to me that a daycare center could recommend my daycare. I have done almost everything that has been suggested in this and other forums for marketing, but never occurred to me that contacting a daycare centers could be beneficial... So check it out ladies! and I better go to remove from my webpage the section where I highlight why to choose a home daycare Vs a daycare center
