Developing A Brochure For Your Daycare Centre

>>  Click Here To Download Your Copy INSTANTLY <<

 

A brochure is like a walking saleman for your daycare centre. It tells your target customer all about your daycare centre. However, some daycare owners are put off by the high cost of producing one as they are under the impression that it should be produced by professionals. And for a small business, that can be quite daunting. However, producing a brochure can be quite a breeze if you know what to do.

First and foremost, you do not need a professional designer. There are many publishing software that can do the job for you. A good example is Microsoft Publisher. There are many nice templates for you to choose from.

As for the copy of the brochure, you can easily do it yourself once you know what you should put inside it. Before we start writing, we first need to understand who you are writing the brochure for; i.e. your target audience. As a daycare owner, your target audience are the parents who wish to put their child at a daycare centre. Some of these parents feel guilty or worried about leaving their children with strangers. Your job is of course to ally their fears and reassure them that their precious little ones are in good hands.

Next, you need to decide what size you’d like your brochure to be; A4, A5 (A4 folded into half), DL (A4 folded into 3 parts), how many colours (will it be 4 colour throughout or 4 colour on the cover and 1 colour on the inside) and the number of pages.

Now you are ready for some copywriting. Here are some information you should consider putting in your brochure.

1. Introduction (How you are different)
Write up a nice and short introduction about your daycare centre. Let the audience know how your daycare centre is different.

2. Mission / Core values / Philosophy
As providing daycare services is a delicate profession, the core values and goals of the daycare centre are probably something which you’d like to communicate to the parents to let them know that their child is in good hands.

3. Pictures of children at play
Add photographs of the children doing different activities in the brochure. Include one on the children at play, one of the children during lessons and one of the children engaging in some interest activities. If possible, include pictures of celebrations such as Children’s Day, Teacher’s Day or graduation. If you are a new business, you may consider getting stock pictures.

4. Programme / Curriculum
Other than caregiving, parents will also be interested to know what’s included in your curriculum. Therefore, list down the subjects that your daycare centre is offering such as art and craft, language, music and drama, etc. And if you are offering other electives such as piano lessons or computer lessons, include that in as well.

5. Quotes / Testimonials
Quote and testimonials lend credibility to your daycare centre. Solicit for quotes from the parents to be included in your brochure. You can choose to have them write their own quotes or you can write it and have them endorse it.

6. Schedule
Include a schedule of the daycare centre’s daily activities so that the parents can have a rough idea of what their child will be doing at your daycare centre.

7. Rates
Include rates and charges. Some owners may not like the idea of publicizing their daycare charges, so it’ll depend on your preference. Personally, I feel that it helps to qualify your customers.

8. Contact details
In your contact details, list not only information such as address, telephone and email but include a map as well. It will be useful for parents who wish to visit your daycare centre. And don’t forget your website address, if you have one.

Now that you’re done with the copy, you are ready to work on the design on a publishing software.

Have fun!

How to Effectively Sell Your Daycare Centre?

There’re many misconceptions about sales. Some individuals believe that a salesperson is born, not bred and feel that they are not cut out for sales. Whilst there is some truth in that, it doesn’t mean that a person who is not “born” a salesperson cannot be trained to be one. When someone is being categorized as a “born” salesperson, it simply means that that person is outgoing and is eloquent and will possibly find selling an easier task to master than a person who is more reserved. However, that said, with some preparations, it is still possible for a seemingly less “sale-sy person to do sales.

The second misconception is good product/services will sell itself. Whilst there is some truth in that, without a good sales pitch, even perfect products will have problems flying off the shelf.

When you are setting up a daycare business, chances are, you will be required to be the principal, teacher, salesperson and sometimes even the cleaner. At least for the first year. As a business owner, you will be required to wear multiple hats and expect to be good at all of it. You will naturally be the frontman of the company and will need to sell your daycare and its services to prospective parents.

Here are some of the basic requirements to be an effective salesperson for your daycare centre.

1. Know your services

First and foremost, you need to list down a fixed set of benefits which you wish to communicate to your potential customers. This is especially useful because you can carry this through, not only to your sales effort but your marketing as well. You can also use this to educate new staff who you’ve recruited.

2. Know your competitor

How much do you know about your daycare competitors ? Do you know how many daycare providers there are within a 500m radius? Do you know what are their pricing strategies? Do you know what they are offering in their curriculum? How do they keep their customers? What do their customers not like about their daycare centre?

You need to gather as much competitive information as possible so that you are able to identify what sets you apart from them. That will be your unique selling proposition when try to promote your daycare services to your potential customers.

3. Know your customers

You need to gather as much information about your customers as possible. Firstly, you need to know what is the demographics of your potential clients. If you are a new daycare centre, look at the client base of the neighbouring daycare centres. It’ll give you an idea of what to expect for your daycare centre.

You need to understand what your customers are looking for in a daycare provider. Are they price sensitive? Are they concerned about the curriculum you are offering? Are they looking at a new and clean facility?

Matching their demographics with what you can offer them, what do you think is the value which they can get from putting their children at your daycare centre.

4. Relate product

By understanding what your customers are looking for, you’ll be able to better cater your sales pitch to their needs. During the initial 3 minutes of the meeting, you should already know what they are looking for in a daycare provider. E.g. If it’s the physical facility that they are concerned about, bring them on a tour around your daycare centre and explain the maintenance policy of each area. If it’s the curriculum that they are looking at, start by sitting them down to show them what your daycare centre offers before bring them on a tour around the daycare centre.

Sales is like riding a bicycle, it become easier with practice. The key to success is lots of hardwork and perseverance.

Good luck!
