In this week's episode I want to talk to you about the importance of setting realistic deadlines in marketing to schools and nurseries. Protecting your deadline integrity when following up and tailoring your campaigns to different problems.

Deadlines are important for schools and nurseries to respond to booking requests, as they create a sense of urgency and help the provider know capacity, so next time you market to schools and nurseries set a deadline to maximise your effectiveness.

I have been thinking a lot whilst preparing for my TED talk about the impact children's activities providers are making on the children they work with, their families and the wider community.  So in today's episode I want to encourage you to do the same and start to understand the impact you are making.

I also want to encourage you to think about why you are running your activity business. My 'why' is so powerful for me in keeping going with my business and I know yours can have the same impact too.
