How and When To Build Your Wedding Vendor List
I guest-blogged this week over on WPIC, all about the importance of gathering and saving details for wedding vendors and venues well in advance of when a client needs them.
A little sample:
Whether you’ve just started your wedding planner business or you have a few seasons under your belt, building a network of wedding pros and venues to do business with is an important ongoing task.
I see wedding pros new and old making two mistakes regularly:
1) Waiting until you have a client booking or a need for a specific vendor to source them.
This is slowing you down, big time.
2) Crowdsourcing, asking for referrals from message boards or friends.
This is lazy, and problematic. Those referrals aren’t one-size-fits-all and definitely not tailored to your clients.
