You must design colourful flyers and hang them at places where they are likely to be noticed by young working couples. You should also consider placing weekly or fortnightly ads in local newspapers. Ideally, these ads should be printed on weekends so that a large number of people may notice them. There is no harm in giving discounts to those couples who refer their friends to your centre. This will add to your overall business.

Funding:You definitely need outside funding if you want to open a child-care services business in a commercial location. For this, you will have to draw up a business plan that should stress the viability of the business. A good idea would be to hire a consultant to help you draw up the business plan, and also to help you in our negotiations with a local bank.
