How To Encourage Parents To Review Your Child Care Business

One way to set your child care business apart from the rest when prospective parents are searching the web for a business like yours is to have solid online testimonials.  By online testimonials, I don’t mean the type that you manually add to your website via your website’s backend editing system. I am referring to online reviews with your Google Places listing, your Facebook business page, your Yelp business page, etc.  These reviews & ratings, or lack thereof, may up in the search results, alongside your business listing.  If your business needs more online reviews, here are a few tips for encouraging parents to rate you on these important places on the web.

(1) Make It Easy For Them

Save and be ready to share the direct links to your online reviews with parents.  So, instead of sending people to your Facebook business homepage, send them directly to the Reviews section within your Facebook page.  Just navigate to the reviews page and save the URL in the address bar of your browser.  Include this link when you send the request for parents to review you so they don’t have to try to find where to go, increasing the chances they won’t do it.

(2) Get the Timing Right

If a parent shared with you how happy her child was in your summer child care program, don’t wait 6 months later to ask him/her to share their feedback online.  They may not recall the details as well and might not be as willing to submit it if it’s been too long.  It would be best to ask the parent within a day or two of them sharing a positive experience with you to make the request.

(3) Offer an Incentive to Review You Online

If you’re still struggling to get enough parents to submit a review online, consider providing an incentive for those who leave feedback.  You could occasionally run a promotion where you offer a discount or coupon for the first five people who leave a review during a specified period of time.  Or, you could say that everyone who reviews you during a time period is automatically entered to win a prize.  Be creative and get the word out.

Good luck and please contact us to get started on your child care website project!

Custom Facebook Banner Graphics for your Child Care Business

Does your Facebook business for your child care business get you noticed?  Do you think it’s doing an acceptable job of driving more inquiries to your business?  If not, it may be time to upgrade the appearance of it.

There are 2 places where you can, and should, feature attractive images so that when your page comes up in searches, potential new parents can see that you’re a professional operation.  One is the profile graphic (smaller, square-shaped) that would generally feature your logo.  The other is your timeline banner graphic that appears at the very top of your Facebook page and is the focal point when someone first visits your business page.  Instead of having a generic photo here, we can design custom graphics for both that speak to your audience and are consistent, from a design standpoint, with your business.  It is important for your branding to be consistent across all of your marketing channels including your website, your advertisements and your social media outlets.

We can not only create your professional new business website but we can also design these graphics for you as well.  Here are a few examples of what we have done for other clients. Get in touch if you would like to get started!

Website Spotlight: Our Circle Time Theme

This month, we would like to spotlight a client website (Four Stars Childcare Facility) that was created based on our Circle Time child care website theme. This theme is 100% mobile friendly so it displays perfectly on all device screen sizes.

This website theme is a client favorite because of its versatility to easily adapt to the client’s color theme, the decorative page icons at the top of the page and the overall clean, organized layout.

Four Stars Childcare had a Facebook page for their business so we seamlessly tied in their Facebook feed on the homepage to display their latest news.  Their contact page has a clickable, interactive Google map and they also have the enhanced Photo Gallery feature on the Gallery page.

Visit Four Stars Childcare Facility and let us know what you think!

6 Facebook Post Ideas for your Child Care Business

Aside from posting photos of your cute kids in your classrooms, do you often wonder what you should post on Facebook?  Here are some suggestions for your social media posts in 2018 to get your parents (and potential parents) connected and engaged:

  1. Latest News & Events: What are you planning for 2018?  Special upcoming visitors or field trips?  Planning to add new playground equipment?  Share exciting plans with your parents and potential parents on Facebook!
  2. Share a video: It is so easy with cellphones these days to create high-quality, short videos (1 minute or less) that are easily uploaded to your child care Facebook page.  You could capture special events, lunchtime, outdoor time fun or children engaging in learning activities in the classroom.  Make sure and get permission from parents of any children appearing in the videos beforehand, of course.
  3. Link to your Google and/or Facebook Reviews: Have you been directing people to your Google & Facebook pages for reviews? Excellent!  Thank those parents by responding to their reviews and then share them occasionally on your feed and remind your parents that you love your parent reviews!
  4. Inspirational child-rearing quotes and phrases: Spread positivity and encouragement now and then by referencing inspirational (or funny!) child-related quotes.  Don’t forget to give credit to the author.
  5. Engage your audience: Ask your followers to participate in a Facebook poll or to comment/share their own stories on parenting.  Considering a field trip and can’t decide between two options?  Start a Facebook poll – fun!
  6. Remind people why you’re different: Capitalize on your visibility with your audience and share key benefits you offer that your competitors may not.  Remind people why your business is different through success stories, your specialized curriculum and unique learning opportunities for your children for example.

Good luck and if you’re not already a client, we hope to be doing business with you soon!
