I'm sorry you're going through is. I've just opened so I haven't gone through this...yet.

I have put flyers up and they work. I put them in mailboxes where I saw strollers/toys out, city pool, library, school, park and community center. I sent a email to all friends and family with details and asked everyone to pass my email along.

One thing that got me more traffic is I responded to 'wanted'ads on Kijiji, Craigslist online. I posted on every site I could find.

I also asked friends to post my poster at their work in their lunch rooms.

I offered drop-ins until I filled up. I had some that ended up on my waiting list for full-time for when they return to work, so it paid off.

I also always look at my ads and made any changes. I even offered a special rates to clients that would register right away.

I think that's all I have. I really hope things turn around for you. Good luck and keep us posted.
