I need advise about advertising/marketing/leaflets & how to write proper english?

[Katymac]

OK - I am advertising my childminding

I have chosen a nice stiff A$ pale green card, I am going to fold it in half to make a card shape

Then I am going to print stuff on it

I am printing up t-shirst for me, DH & DD to wear - no-one will look at me but DD is gorgeous & DH is a tall Jamaican - which is unusual in rural Norfolk

We are going to wander round the farmers market & village fete on Saturday hoping to give out these leaflet/booklet thingie

Does this have any chance of working?

Also if I print what I am putting in it will someone proof it form me & kinda convert it into english?

all children aer loved, cuddled etc

All children at Walnut Corner are cuddled, loved and allowed to grow and learn through play. We aim to put into practice the framework of ?Birth to Three Matters? because it encompasses all of our core values at Walnut Corner - VALUES HERE, PREF THREE OF THEM

We encourage a calm, relaxed atmosphere for our children, emphasise the social aspect of mealtime and recognise the importance of a healthy diet. Free play and structured play are both part of our daily activities along with music, dancing and outdoor action!

Kate runs Walnut Corner with a team of registered childminders, working together to provide high quality childcare in a home environment.

Um

Values you mean like
Childrn come First
Encouraging Healthy Choices
Learning through Play

Or something more complicated

All children at Walnut Corner are cuddled, loved and allowed to grow and learn through play. We aim to put into practice the framework of ?Birth to Three Matters? because it encompasses all of our core values at Walnut Corner - nurturing, encouraging, learning.

?

osrry

nurturing, encouraging and learning.

Oh so not more complicated just different

Hmm

Prefer nurturing, discovering, something about choice?,

B23 is about letting children take the lead & make decisions - is there a word I could use for that

Also prefer discovering to learning for under 3's

Katymac - I spent ages searching for leaflet printers on the net. The best one I found and used was This one I got 5000 cards printed up, they are postcard sized card, glossy and they've worked very well, they were delivered quickly and for £80 all in I couldn't get anything better! Here are the leaflet front and back that I designed - I wanted it quite plain colourwise.

Thanks - I'm only printing 100 tho'

do you not have a decent colour printer? cheper to do 100 yopurself

or print out one and get them colour photocopied

That's what I'm doing

I'm printing on card rather than paper and folding it in half (pale green card)

What's another word for deciding/choosing/selecting?

pick

Nurturing, picking & discovering??

Nurturing, selecting & discovering??

No. Makes it sound like noses. Sorry. I will think a bit more.

Well they do that too - I just don't think I want to advertise it

LOL! I think choice and it's derivatives is the best word in this situation. I would stay away from 'select' as it has other connotations in realtion to education.

Nurturing, exploring & discovering??

Nah exploring & discovering are too close

Facilitating exploration and discovery...nurturing a curious mind....

You are sucking me in Katymac!
Can't stop thinking about it now.
I have recently finished my own leafletty thing for my project - Storygardens. Our strap line is... For Growing Young Readers.
I can empathise with your plight!

Sorry - didn't mean too

It's just I find this so difficult

I found it useful to write down lots of options and just live with it for a few days and every so often just look at the ideas. One will grow on you or you will come up with different permutations and after about a week one will sit comfortably.

Don't rush the process. Let your subconcious get on with deciding while you do something else.

unfortunatley I'm giving themout at an event tomorrow

I found it useful to write down lots of options and just live with it for a few moments and every so often just look at the ideas. One will grow on you or you will come up with different permutations and after about an hour one will sit comfortably.

Don't rush the process. Let your subconcious get on with deciding while you do something else for 10 minutes.

yeh right
