LOCAL PARENTS, FACEBOOK GROUPS, THE SCHOOL GATE] What's worked before: [E.G. REFERRALS, LEAFLETS, NOTHING YET] Budget: [E.G. $200 A MONTH] Time: [E.G. 3 HOURS A WEEK] Please: 1. Suggest five low-cost ideas that fit my customers. 2. For each: what to do, rough cost, time needed, and how to measure it. 3. Put them in order of what to try first. 4. If you can browse the web, show a link for any facts you use. If you can't, say so and stick to what I've told you. Rules: - Don't invent results, figures or examples. Label anything you can't back up as "unchecked". - Stay within my budget and time. - Anything I publish or send is a draft for me to check first.
