A Different View On Twitter Marketing for Wedding Businesses

By Leave a Comment

Twitter marketing has never been easy for small businesses. The reason behind this is because selling something because of Twitter is extremely difficult and time consuming. That doesn’t mean that Twitter isn’t useful for marketing in its own way.

When you have a small wedding business you have to view Twitter as a way to build brand awareness and share information. In fact that really is what Twitter is about. Cooking companies use Twitter to share recipes, speakers use it to inform their followers of where they will be speaking, and coaching companies use it to inform followers of upcoming events and webinars. I’m sure right about now you’re thinking “that’s great, but how does it help my business?”

Michael Stelzner and Brian Solis talk about exactly this in their telecast. The most important thing of all is to realize the importance of brand exposure. Twitter is a great way to build an active community of brides and their friends where you can share advice. You may or may not make a sale directly through Twitter, but it will help build your SEO, build brand awareness, and a plugin on your website showing your Twitter stream will generate more interest from brides who visit your site directly. What do you think?

How To Get Twitter To Work In Wedding Marketing

By Leave a Comment

 

To_TweetIf you’ve tried Twitter and found that it hasn’t worked for you there are probably some things you could change to get followers and interaction. The point of twitter is to post ideas and thoughts in a short amount of space and to get a dialog going back and forth between you and your followers. For a wedding business this can include trending colors and styles, the weather, something funny that happened with a wedding and more. You basically want to Tweet anything that will spark interest and engage your audience.

Where wedding marketing fits in with this is the fact that every once in a while you will include a link to your website, or information on a package you offer. On top of that you must make sure that you include your website url in your bio. Liz Borod Wright recommends that you keep it personal by including a great profile picture (preferably of your face as the owner), and catchy bio with a bit about both you and your business. For more tips on how to get Twitter working for you check out Liz’s article! What do you think?

How Adding A Twitter Widget To Your Wedding Website Is Beneficial To Your Business

By 2 Comments

 

Twitter_on_PhoneIntegrating social media with your wedding business website is crucial. No, I’m not just saying that. Not only does it connect all the different sites that you are on, it also boosts your search engine ratings. It isn’t enough just to have a website. While that is good, brides expect to find you on at least two social media platforms.

So why do brides want to connect with you on social media, and yet still expect you to have a website? Your main website is like your actual business. It’s all about what you do, what your prices are, and is really just an online version of your business. Social media is something else entirely. While it gives brides a taste of your business the primary purpose is for them to learn more about you. What you do, weddings you are doing, news about the industry and mainly it tells them that you care about THEM, and want to build a personal relationship, building trust.

A cool way to integrate Twitter with your website is through a customized widget that shows your stream with the most recent posts you have made. This helps merge the world of your professional business website with the more social side of your business, and encourages brides to follow you on Twitter, and stay connected, keeping you at the forefront of their mind.

People often get frustrated with understanding how Twitter works, and how to get it to work for a business. When it comes to your wedding business the goal is to get as many targeted Twitter followers as possible. Your target is the bridal market, and specifically brides who are ready to book.

So how do you find these brides? The first thing is to make sure you are posting fun and helpful Tweets. From there you can find the brides by following other big wedding brides like The Knot. Then you want to follow their followers, but make sure you keep to following only 50 people max per day. Of course this leads to clutter in your list. Your end goal is to have more targeted followers than people you are following.
