There is so much Social Media Marketing information on the website out there it can be overwhelming. As a TV and film producer, (my other passion), I believe that film and video can give you the big picture. Save your self some reading time and watch it in a nutshell.

What Does Finding Childcare And Online Dating Have in Common??
Have you ever been on an online dating site and see profiles that are so stupid, you say to your self …” I can believe they wrote that”, or “that so boooorring !” When you look for a childcare provider listing on line what do you look for in a provider?
Do you look at their experience or the WAY they relate to you by sharing with y0u what they provide? Did you ever stop to think…. the better they relate to you and others, the better they may be relating to your children?
I would like to think that some of the most experianced daycare providers that I met related to children well… well that was not always the case. Some of the most experienced daycare providers need to take a hard look at what they do not want to see. Some times the newbie daycare providers will relate better to the parents and to the children. Parents, do not dismiss the new ones and do not dismiss the experienced ones too.
To the experienced daycare providers, I say respectfully thank you for your years of service, this is not meant to offend you, because there are many wonderful experienced providers out in the communities, and you know who you are.
Parents , ask the hard questions! Many of them, just as many as you would ask your date. You will find your match.
ARE YOU A FACE OR A BOOK?
I went to the movies last night and watched a trailer on a new movie that is coming out about social media. Social media is very powerful and popular. Its almost a requirement when you meet someone these days. Its the newest form of marketing your business or service. It breaks the ice and makes people feel more comfortable as they view your profile.
A very good friend of mine who is an experienced webmaster told me that people are tired of a sales pitches and that they want to do business with people they know and trust. That makes perfect sense.
How are you marketing your business?
If you are a provider, do you have a facebook page? If so… access your registration on www.childcareseekers.com and included your facebook link on our provider data base. If not contact us at childcareseekers@msn.com so we can assist you with a facebook page or twitter account that is designed around your daycare or childcare center that will link to your registration.
Parents will be pleased to look you up…this could make all the difference for that parent to enroll them in your childcare business.
Add me here as your friend on facebook… I look forward to accepting your friend request.
