Marketing 201: Diving Deeper by Cindy Krosky - Marketing starts by under- standing the difference between being in the “business of child care” versus being in the “child care business . ” While marketing involves how a product or business is promoted, it starts with how we think and act regarding the business we provide. Discover tools and learn strategies to target prospects, branding to increase future referrals, as well as, understanding the power of customer service to keep your family child care business growing!
