Another Craigslist Undercutting...

UM.....OKAY......because parents are gonna want to go from paying $100 per week to $200 per week (for the same care) in a few months. I think not.....


Recession Rate Childcare only 20.00 per day.

I am offering a limited time special, to any child starting care here in the next six weeks.

From now until June. I am offering childcare at only 20.00 per day. I am Certified and have many years or exp. caring for children. We do many fun activities; drawing, pretend play, free play, music and movement, walks, outside play, kickball, walks, story time and rest time.

Extended hours are available; as are an occasional weekend. This offer expires when the ad expires and rate will then be 40.00 a day.

She's in for a lot of trouble in June. How much you wanna bet that many of the clients she signs up with this special pricing will bail come time to up the rate?

I was thinking the same thing but it's still too long for such a large discount and a year contract wouldn't be enough for me.

If I was desperate for new clients I could see offering a discount for 4-8 weeks and then full price after that but it's opening the door for people that want a deal instead of quality care.
