Might have been timing, might have been my area
When I originally did it, I enrolled 5 clients and had many interviews. It was when I first opened and I let Vistaprint mail them out. It was in the Spring that I mailed them out.
When I did it a second time, I mailed them out and didn't receive any calls. I think I only did 150 or so. I think it was an odd time. It was in the Fall.
I'll update if I receive any inquiries from doing it again. I don't have any other options where I live. I've always had Craigslist ads up, but I have never received anything from it. The stores in my area are a good 10+ minute drive away (I live in a SMALL community that is pretty secluded) and there are an abundance of in-home daycares and center daycares in that area. The postcards, word of mouth, and the state website (where people search for local daycares) are the only ways I have gotten clients.
