Fix Your Tour Follow-Up in One Nap-Time
from Grow Your Daycare Podcast -Childcare Marketing Solutions-Daycare Advertising · host Christina Rizakos
In this episode, you’ll set up a simple 3-step follow-up system, so fewer families ghost you after a tour, and you can do it in one nap time. Whether you run a daycare center or home childcare program, tour follow-up is one of the easiest ways to improve your enrollment rate — if you do it consistently. This system takes out the guesswork so every lead gets the personal, professional follow-up they deserve (without fancy tech or CRMs). What You’ll Walk Away With: A ready-to-use message template you can send same-day after a tour A reminder system to re-engage families 2–3 days later A simple tracking method to stay organized and stop losing leads 🧠 Key Takeaways: Same-Day Message Matters Send a quick, warm follow-up via text or email right after the tour to keep momentum. Example template: “Hi [Parent Name], it was so nice meeting you and [Child’s Name] today at [Program Name]. If you have any questions or want to move forward with enrollment, you can reply here or call/text me at [number]. I’d love to welcome your family!” Check-In 2–3 Days Later A gentle nudge shows you’re still thinking of them. Example: “Hi [Parent Name], just checking in to see if you had any questions about [Program Name] or our openings for [month]. I’m happy to help you decide if we’re the right fit.” Track It All On One Simple List A notebook, whiteboard, or basic Google Sheet works fine. Just track: Parent name Child name Tour date “Follow-up sent?” (Yes/No) 🧸 Ideal For: Home daycare providers tired of chasing families Small center owners who need a plug-and-play follow-up system Anyone who wants to improve enrollment without learning new tech 🔗 Resources Mentioned:🎓 Join My Childcare Business Marketing Community (Skool) Daily prompts, enrollment tips & stress-free marketing support: 👉 https://www.skool.com/childcare-business-growth-hub-5799/about 🛠 Done-For-You Childcare Marketing Services Need help getting found, filling spots, or running ads?
