Family Business Marketing That Gives Parents a Reason to Act.
Stop settling for advertising that simply puts your business name in front of people. The Founders Club can build a signature campaign around your family-focused business designed to encourage local parents to book, register, visit, participate, buy or come back again.
Don’t Just Advertise to Families. Give Them Something to Do.
Family businesses have a major marketing advantage: parents are constantly looking for activities, experiences, classes, celebrations, seasonal programs and opportunities for their children.
Generate Bookings
Build limited-time campaigns around appointments, sessions, parties or family experiences.
Capture Leads
Give parents a reason to register, enter, nominate or request information from your business.
Create Paying Events
Turn an ordinary evening, weekend or school break into an event people can purchase and attend.
Build Repeat Visits
Challenges, passports, birthday clubs and recurring promotions can keep families connected beyond one visit.
12 Businesses. 12 Months. 12 Customer-Growth Campaigns.
Your signature campaign becomes the centerpiece of your Founders Club marketing year.
Campaigns With a Clear Customer-Growth Objective
These concepts are especially strong because a business owner can immediately understand the potential result: bookings, qualified family leads or paying customers.
Family Photo Weekend
Create a limited weekend of family portrait appointments with one featured package, advance reservations and a fixed number of available sessions.
Instead of advertising a photographer, the campaign gives local families a specific reason to reserve a session now.
Birthday Party Giveaway
Build a community promotion around one complete children’s birthday celebration supplied by a venue, entertainer, bakery, photographer or other family business.
Parents enter through the campaign, creating potential future prospects for birthday services even if they do not win.
Parents’ Night Out
Offer supervised evening activities for children while parents enjoy several hours on their own.
Childcare businesses, kids gyms, studios and activity centers can turn available capacity into a ticketed event—and potentially a recurring program.
