Places to Advertise

**Pedagog** · 13-04-2009, 12:14 AM

I have noticed that there have been a lot of threads started asking for the best places to advertise, so I thought maybe we should start a thread just to list all the online places to advertise.

So I'll make a start.

Here of course.

www.yell.com Online Yellow Pages, Free

www.*****.com Register for up to 5 local sites, Free

Please add others that you know of.

Does anyone ever get any work through these?

I have only had work come through the Children's Information Centre and word of mouth.

I was advertising through the yellow pages, but never got any work, so I stopped.

My little one that is starting tomorrow has come from Yell.com

I got a small babysitting job throught Yell.com but other wise I have had nothing but people trying to sell me advertising space and moile phone contracts.

I have had quite a few enquiries through ***** and CIS.

Others have been word of mouth and through exchanging business cards and vacancies with other childminders.

A couple have come through Gumtree also.

Thats interesting.

I might try *****. I am pretty much full at the moment, but have child going to school in September so will have a couple of days to fill.

It's free to advertise on childcare.co.uk and to receive and reply to messages from parents.
