How do we promote our playgroup?
Families are what make playgroups successful!
If you’re starting a new playgroup or want to get more families coming along to your sessions, the best way to do this is through ‘word of mouth’.
In fact, most families join a playgroup because a friend invited them.
So make sure you tell your own friends and relatives about it and encourage other playgroup families to do the same.
Playgroup Tasmania can also help you promote your playgroup. They do this by:
- Adding it to the Find a Playgroup map on their website: playgrouptas.org.au/find-a-playgroup
- Supplying a ‘Join us here’ flag to display outside your playgroup while a session is happening (if you are a community playgroup).
- Providing posters for your playgroup that you can print and display around your community.
Social media is also a great, free way to promote your playgroup both between sessions and when you’re looking for new families to join in.
We find that setting up a Facebook page or group is a really effective way to do this in Tasmanian communities.
