Question Posted Thursday November 19 2009, 12:09 am
I am really good with kids. They all love me it seems like and the parents do too, but when it comes to promoting my babysitting business I am really lousy. I want to do flyers and put them up in the usual places but every time I get a start on one it just seems like I am putting too much or too little info.
I have re-written several flyers dozens of times each and I am never happy when I am done. I know this is stupid, but could someone send me some examples of what to put on a babysitting flyer?
Parents can be really defensive when they find a good baby sitter, and they don't want to share her, but I bet if you tell the nice ones that although you love thier family and they will always come first for you, that you are really needing some more work too, and if they know any other family looking for a sitter, you'd love it if they recommended you.
A personal recommendation means WAY more then a flyer. Spend some time calling parents you are close to and chatting with them for a minute about this, rather then the flyer. It might take a little while, but I promise you it's a better use of your time. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
