Marketing: What You Can Do
One goal at the event is to meet new brides and grooms, but don't hesitate to invite your existing couples to attend as well! This will be a great opportunity for them to get a first-hand perspective on what you'll be doing for them in the future, and it's a chance to let them taste, try and see without having to schedule individual appointments. Also, if your "friendors" are also participating in the event, this will be a great way to introduce your brides to other vendors who can help with their weddings. If you know a bride or groom and would like to give them a free pair of tickets, read more about Golden Tickets below:
Golden Tickets
We will reserve a number of “golden tickets” per event which will be handed out strategically to brides and grooms. These are good for one free pair of tickets each. You can download this golden ticket or click on the image and save the ticket to your computer to email it to a bride or groom.
Feel free to send as many of these to brides/grooms as you wish, but know that they are only valid "while supplies last." Please encourage your recipients to register online (ASAP) with the code on the ticket. Having a Golden Ticket does not guarantee tickets; the recipients must register with the code to guarantee their tickets.
Please note: This is to be emailed only to brides and grooms; please don’t share the golden ticket on your blog, Facebook, Instagram, etc. Thank you!
"As soon as you sign up as a vendor, start collecting email addresses from potential brides, clients, fellow vendors, etc. and send out email blasts promoting the event. The more people you can get to attend, the better the chances are that you'll sell your services. We send out Mailchimp emails at least 3-4 times before the event." -Trey, OtherBrother Entertainment
BRAND AMBASSADORS
Brand Ambassadors are temporary helping-hands for marketing the events. They have specific networking goals to reach, like spreading the word about The Big Fake Wedding and offering personal invitations to brides- and grooms-to-be. We are always looking for Brand Ambassadors to spread the word and to help at the event, so feel free to share this link with your community. We generally don’t allow other wedding vendors to participate, but we’ve found that college students, stay-at-home-moms and event-lovers are usually great fits.
