Do you have a Facebook page for your daycare or preschool? You should. It's a great way to both get information to parents, as well as get new parents to find your center, and fill your roster with future students. oDaycare can help you get on Facebook, and leverage it to help your business.
People who live near your center might not even be aware you exist, and seeing a friend or neighbor follow your Facebook page will help spread the word about your daycare. 68% of Facebook users are more likely to use a product or service if it's recommended by one of their friends online. New parents know other new parents, and they're on all Facebook these days. A great way to spread the word for your center and fill your ranks.
In addition, it's a great tool to use with your parents. You can send out important information "Don't forget, today is our field trip! Bring a heavy coat!" or any other news of the center to keep your parents informed. In the old days you could just tape a sign to your door, but people many times doen't even read those, as they're in a rush. When they check Facebook they'll have time to kill (or not but they're killing time anyway :) ) and they'll read your information, and perhaps if it's interesting, pass it on!
Setting your own Facebook page up is easy, but to do it well, such as incorporating more than just the built in Facebook wall page is a bit more complicated. oDaycare can help you set up your Facebook page for you, if you don't already have one (if you do you can just make us an admin so we can help you out immediately) and get you going. We can help set up more pages, including making sure you're doing what's necessary to get those Facebook users off social media and onto your website where you can convert them.
Half a Billion people are on Facebook and in the U.S. and Canada. Over 90% of parents under the age of 35 are on Facebook now in the U.S. and it's the second most visited site in the world. it's not just for college kids anymore. You should be leveraging Social Media like Facebook and oDaycare can help you do it.
