That is a lot of providers. I am worried people will assume something bad about me because I always have an ad. I thought about taking a break and re posting but then they will think I lost another family. We can't win in this economy!
Have you advertised anywhere else? The local paper, community bulletin board, community center, church bulletin board...
Any new housing developments in your area? If so, it is great if you can establish a relationship with the realtor in the model home. They make great referrals and if you can get them to put your card in the new home packet, all the better!
