Iâm in the last two weeks of my full time job as I transition back into doula work. I will be honest I am stepping into this season with zero savings and rent still due, so I know agency work will be important while I rebuild my private client base. The point of this post though⌠I recently asked an agency owner where she advertises for clients. She said she runs ads, but that Facebook Marketplace actually brings in a lot of inquiries. Yâall my jaw dropped. đ
When I really thought about it, it made perfect sense. New parents are already on Marketplace looking for baby gear, bassinets, swings, and secondhand items. They are also often connected to local mom groups there. So of course that is where families might stumble across doulas. Out of curiosity I went to look and sure enough there are doulas advertising there all over the place. I honestly never would have thought of that before. Pretty genius honestly.
