Advertising for childcare centres in New Zealand

The best place for a childcare centre to advertise is wherever the customer is at the moment they decide they need one: in a medical centre, a pharmacy or a cafe, with a baby and a return-to-work date. In practice that means a medical centre, a pharmacy and a cafe. A counter card, a window poster or a screen in one of those, in your own district, is seen by exactly the people who are about to look for a childcare centre, and usually costs less than advertising to a whole suburb.

Questions people ask

Where is the best place for a childcare centre to advertise?

Inside the local businesses your customers visit at the moment they need you. For a childcare centre that is usually a medical centre, a pharmacy and a cafe. A counter display or a window poster there costs less than most other advertising and reaches the right person at the right moment.

How much does it cost a childcare centre to advertise locally?

Advertising space in local New Zealand businesses is listed on Pritty Ghood from about $55 a week, with the price on the listing being the price you pay. Google Ads and radio usually cost a few hundred dollars a month or more, and a community newspaper advertisement is priced per insertion.

How long should a childcare centre run an advertisement?

Six weeks before each term starts, and again in the last fortnight before the holidays. Parents plan by the school calendar and so should the advertising.

What should a childcare centre put on an advertisement?

Speak to the parent, not the child: what the child gets, when the term starts, how to enrol. A start date and a free trial session are the two things that get a phone call.
