Case snapshot

An established long day care centre had a slowing tour pipeline and faced newer competitors nearby. The operator asked for more families to visit, not simply more visibility.

Starting point

The context

The centre had previously relied on word of mouth and local visibility. The historical report put starting occupancy at 71%.

Vacant places remained a practical concern while operating costs continued.

Our work

What Enrolment Boost did

Enrolment Boost used paid social messages about how families choose care, including educator relationships and what prompts a tour booking.

The campaign captured enquiries through in-platform lead forms. A consistent follow-up process helped the centre team move from new enquiries to conversations and tour bookings.

On the ground

The centre team’s role

Contact with families, tours and enrolment decisions sit with the centre team; Enrolment Boost supports the enquiry process. The original account also describes later work with two other centres run by the operator.

About these results

Results are reported in Enrolment Boost’s original case study. Enquiries, booked tours and families moving towards enrolment are different stages, not a confirmed matched group or verified starts. Occupancy also reflects the centre experience, not advertising alone.

What to take away

A practical next step

Track enquiries through to booked and attended tours while keeping the centre’s role in family decisions visible.
