Customer Reviews
This is a gem!
I recently started exploring starting a play cafe and began searching for resources to help. I couldn’t believe all the content that was available from Michelle. I have bought several templates and have listened to many podcast episodes. I highly recommend tuning in if you’re interested in starting a play cafe.
This is a Must-Have Podcast!
I have always wondered why there aren't indoor playgrounds for toddlers in my area. So I started to research as I was interested in implementing one and it seemed like a daunting task, until I found this podcast! Michele is FULL of knowledge and expierence and she is so kind! Not only are her podcasts packed with FREE advice, she is very responsive on socials as well! If you are a mom or anyone wondering if it is possible, it is! So grateful for this information to avoid so many mistakes early on.
The Blueprint
My family & I have been playing around with the idea of opening an indoor playground. Before I found out about The Profitable Play Podcast & all of Michele's other resources, I thought it was just that -- an idea. But now, it seems like a very achievable goal! I've only recently started listening but I've already learned so much in the first few episodes especially about email marketing. I started at the beginning with Episode 1 and am taking notes as I go. Each episode is engaging & packed full of knowledge. I'll be caught up soon!
