I agree with Darren. I also think we shouldn't start till nearer the end of
summer.
As for word of mouth, it really is best but I think a push to social media
will help us get exposure and help people who hear of us by word of mouth
find us. Terri's kept an email list for ages but social media is quickly
replacing email as a communication method.
