Daycare Business Cards
If you run a daycare, business cards are probably the last thing on your mind. You have to deal with kids, parents, employees, food, cleaning, buying supplies and a million other things.
So I’m going to help make this easy for you. Here are a few ideas for your business cards.
1. Keep them kid friendly. Make the fonts colorful and the business cards colorful as well.
2. Put some helpful information on them. You could print a recipe for a good healthy snack on the back of your business cards. In fact, you might want to print 4 batches of 250 each so that you can print 4 unique recipes on your business cards.
3. Sell yourself. Make sure potential clients know why you are better than the other daycare’s and what you do different. Do you serve full meals while the competition doesn’t? Do you have a safe and secure play yard in the back? What sets you apart?
4. Give a call to action. “Call now and get 2 weeks free!” “10% off your monthly bill if you mention this promotion!” These will cost you a little, but will also turn “lookers” into “buyers”.
Using those 4 simple business card techniques, your daycare business could expand more than you ever imagined!

Your Business Card is your Calling Card
In today’s society, everyone is busy. Case in point, I have tried to see my bank manager for the last 2 weeks. Every time I go in, he is gone. I’ve been in 5 times over the last 14 days. Now this manager is a friend and I know what car he drives, and it isn’t in the parking lot, so he isn’t just hiding, he’s that busy!
So every time I stop by, I give a business card to whoever I talk to and say, “Would you mind leaving this on his desk to let him know I stopped by?” Then I write, “Missed you, I’ll stop by later this week” on the back of my business card. This tells him I was here, but not to worry because I’ll be coming back soon.
Not only that, but now he has 5 of my business cards sitting on and around his desk. Now when a customer comes in talking about services I perform, he remember my business because of my business card and can give a recommendation easily!
No Pressure Business Card Marketing Approach
If you love handing out your business cards, but have a pretty low response rate, try this easy tip:
Hand 3-4 business cards and say the following, “Here are a few of my cards incase you or someone you know is interested.”
What this does is tells your prospect that you’re not pressuring them, but you’re also telling them about your business. Whether or not they’re interested, or going to buy from you, they might know someone who is.
Just by handing out a few business cards, you’ve just secured a few client!
