HOST: Debbie Quain

This was scheduled to be a live broadcast.  Unfortunately, I experienced sound issues and was forced to record offline, instead.  But it’s still great info.

Sasha asked two (2) great questions in the Confetti Facebook group:

  • Is your newsletter the same as your blog?
  • Does the newsletter just “deliver” your blog to people that subscribe?

The good news is that you can blend your wedding blog with an active email newsletter.

Sending a wedding planning newsletter via email PLUS writing frequent blog posts are effective and very affordable ways to keep in touch with your prospective clients.

Tips for your Wedding Planning Newsletter :

Don’t send an email newsletter using your regular email account. Instead, find a professional email management service. There are several to choose from (see the links, below). I use Aweber.

Your wedding planning newsletter doesn’t need to (and really shouldn’t) be long.  Bite-sized pieces of info is best.

Your newsletter can simply be an email notification of your most recent blog posts – each newsletter issue contains links to individual articles/blog posts

Stay on topic; provide subscribers with the information they signed up for: relevant —  wedding planning-related — information.

Your newsletter can be in video or audio format

  1. Wedding in India is an elaborate affair which entails various occasions and customs with it. Thus it requires immense efforts and works to host a complete and perfect wedding.http://www.redribbonshine.com/ Initially these jobs of wedding preparations were done by the relatives of groom and bride and somehow pull off the wedding successfully. But gone are those days, people become too much busy with their own world and even hardly get time to visit the wedding ceremonies of relatives. Thereby, hiring a wedding planner has become necessity for this busy world.
