Booking With Day Care Centers

I go into a Day Care in the mid morning - after the rush and ask the Director if I can display a basket and have a give-a-way for the moms. This is what I say... Hi, my name is Sarah and I am with MK (hand her my card). I would like to know if I could do a drawing of a pampering set for your mother's here because we know as moms we just don't pamper ourselves enough. If she sounds interested and says yes or asks how it works then I reply... I would bring my own small table (tv tray size) and set up right here (a place that's in the path of traffic but not in the way) if that would work for you. I will be here from say 4-6, that's usually seems the best time for pickups. Does that work for you? Then set up a day and time. If she says they can't do that, which a lot of them are going to NO outside soliciting, then I ask if it would be ok to leave it here for 24 hrs to see if anyone is interested in signing up? They usually will do that if they can't do the in-day care drawing. I bring a table (if they don't have any room on the counter or another area) and a basket that attracts attention. I have entry forms (I attached some in case you don't use them). I also have a ballot box (from Staples or an office supply place). Sometimes I decorate it to match the basket. A few small clip boards and cards. I sit if there's a chair so they don't feel like I'm attacking them - and say... I'm giving away a mom's pampering basket if you're feeling lucky, etc.... I stay at the day care from 4-6 then take the leads with me. If I leave it there I pick it up in 24 to 48 hours. i'll have a sign on the top of the ballot box that says 'enter to win - basket will be picked up on... (date and time). I draw one name and she gets the facial and makeover party or spa party. When I'm explaining what she gets I add... the basket contains Satin Hands (or whatever I put in) and the value is $30. You get to try all the products including the satin hands and either you take the satin hands or the $30 value towards something else - that way I know you received something you like and can use. This way they don't try to get the basket with out the appt. Everyone else wins too - they get the facial and makeover party or spa party plus a $10 gift card. Sometimes I add $5 for each additional person they have there or if I remember her and I'm really impressed, I'll do the hostess special. When they drop the slip in - I pull it out and write a description of her so I'll remember when I'm calling. I do this at Drs offices (I leave the basket there) and day cares and trade out the baskets as the "winners' don't always claim them! I've never had anyone steal my basket from the drs office. I leave at the drs office depending on the office. Some I leave it for 1 month sometimes 2 weeks. it depends on the office and the leads. I tell the receptionists that when they tell someone about the drawing to put their name on the back of the form - the one that has the most names on the back gets a spa prize from me.
