In this introductory episode of The Doula Darcy podcast, host Darcy, a business coach with extensive experience in both the advertising industry and as a postpartum doula, explains the importance of marketing for doulas. Darcy highlights that the primary reason many doulas struggle to get clients is not a lack of qualifications but rather that potential clients are unaware of their existence.  The Doula Darcy addresses common misconceptions about marketing, suggesting it is simply about sharing your passion and services with potential clients. She shares her own journey from advertising to becoming a postpartum doula, and emphasizes that marketing, not more certifications or experience, is often the key to attracting clients. Darcy offers practical, cost-effective marketing strategies to help doulas grow their businesses and ensure families know about their services. Tune in for actionable tips on improving website traffic, leveraging social media, and making community connections to boost your doula career.
