For this episode we spent some time recapping episode 346 about accepting credit cards<\/a> (sorry for being redundant).<\/p>\n

I addressed a great question about the numbering of archived Confetti episodes.<\/p>\n

\"wedding-planner-referral-w-15510_377x210\"But, our main focus, today, was a reminder that we, as wedding planners, provide an offline service.\u00a0 This means we need to be so much more than our wedding business website.<\/p>\n

Yes, brides are looking for us online.\u00a0 Yes, social media has a huge impact for what we do.<\/p>\n

But, in order for you to be the local wedding go-to person\/company, people in your community need to meet you, see you and communicate with you, offline!<\/p>\n

It’s like that great tagline says: you have to: “reach out and touch someone!”<\/p>\n

Because the service that you provide is so personal, your clients have to actually like you, first!\u00a0 As a wedding planner, you have to be likeable.\u00a0 There’s no getting around that.<\/p>\n

Your wedding business website will certainly get the ball rolling, but it’s YOU that seals the deal.\u00a0 So, give folks the opportunity to meet you, in the flesh! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

We also addressed a question from Tina in the live chatroom about planning weddings for friends…for free.<\/p>\n

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:<\/h2>\n

This tragic story about the bride-to-be and others who died in a limo fire<\/a> is unbelievably sad.<\/p>\n
