Shop Advertising?

[john]

A little rant lol, i think this as been on before about advertising in shops, doctors etc. Last Friday i went around 15 places to put up an advert about my childminding. I always keep a list where i put them, so today i went around all of the places. And out of the 15 there were 2 still up and 2 were in the SureStart center and that was down. It's always someone else that as taken the advert down when you equire about it lol.

All that work you do designing and useing ink money just to be let down by your own town of City. I thought the early year centers were there it help with finding parents with childcare?

As anyone else had this problem with Community advertising? good job parent's have a mouth so they can tell others how good you are as a childminder.

It just got me down today seeing most of my adverts taken down, need to get it of my chest

It's not just you...It happens to me to...in fact the only place my advertising stayed put was where I paid for it to be!

Yup happened to me too in the past - only place it stayed up was the local school - and I'm a governor so they didn't dare remove it! LOL

Soul destroying!

I've found the best place I have advertised is my local school where my children go and where I do school drop offs and collections, they have kindly put some of my brochures and flyers, business cards etc on a little table in the reception area and I've had no end of enquiries lately saying got your card from school, so it does work if you find the right place

Sorry all your hard work was wasted John going round all the shops etc

I seem to find that when I put an advert up it sneakily dissappers.... i wonder if its other minders though

Reckon it could be other minders taking adverts down.

My business cards are in our local Somerfield and I check on my cards everytime I go in.

If anyone has put their card in front of mine I MOVE THEM so mine are in front again.

It is disheartening though about to have another advertising week. Adverts everywhere, one of them has got to stay put
