So I'm Doing FFFFRRRREEEEEEEEEEE

[Sugar Magnolia]

Yep, just wrote FREE WEEK OF CHILD CARE on my windows in bright yellow. I also put it on my website. And on the back of my car that already has a decal with the website.

"New clients will receive their 9th week of care free. Must pay first 8 weeks in full. Existing clients will receive a free week of care if they refer a new client who stays enrolled for 90 days or more"

Yeah, my usual fall enrollment is going slowly.

Crazy? Effective? How will people try to rip me off?

Really? Wow. Weird coincidence! ! Here we go.......into the unknown!::

[Sugar Magnolia]

How are you advertising it, daycare?

[juliebug]

i have seen some centers around here do it let us know how it works! i hope you get lots of enrollment

[daycare]

I have it advertised one week free.. Then of course the small writing says when you have paid for three full weeks prior,
the 4 th is free...

I have not covered all of the what happens if you are terminated from care yet. Stil getting all that in there. I posted it last night on my website and online ads.
So far no bites yet.....

I can have banners and window art. I just write on the windows with that window chalk stuff. I have a wall in front too. The wall is actually city property, but when it got vandalized by graffiti, repainting it was "my problem". Grrrr. You KNOW if I try to hang a banner on it, that will be "their problem". Lol

Maybe send my PITA teen son to sign spin on the major road that is 3 blocks away. ::

[daycare]

Ooh that is a great idea. Ill send mine to you too. He left his retainer in his clothing pocket and I put It through the washer nd dryer. So it's ruined. He says I have to replace it. I laughed at him and said get a job. I will be in miami in 3 weeks actually. Ill drop him off to spin signs.

That's a Really good idea actually. I like your thinking.

[Sugar Magnolia]

Omg on the retainer!!! Mine hasn't pulled that one......yet.

Miami is only 3 hours away! Come say hi! :hug:

[daycare]

yeah a new one is $300 but we spent almost $6500 on his mouth so I think I might have to bite the bullet on it this time and get it. he claims his teeth are already moving.

are you north or south of Miami? I will get to go to the keys one day for a boat trip

true....well let me ask this.......do you think that there is anything that could backfire with our FREE idea? I keep thinking that some smarties pants is going to come along and find a loophole some how...Gosh I sound negative don't I......

I did this last year and it worked out SUPER well! I got 2 referrals, and I gave the parents a paper with a 'coupon' for the free week of child care and the dates it would be effective if the new clients stayed and had them sign a copy for my records. I put in the coupon form that if they gave notice before or during the free period, the discount was void.

Incoming clients got the same type of 'coupon' with the dates it would be effective. BOTH of my referred clients are still here, a year later!

I do 4th week free all the time as a sign up incentive. It's worked very well for me. Three weeks must be paid in full and on time in order to qualify.
