10 Bride Attracting Titles For Any Wedding Business

 

 

Blogging is one of the most effective activities you can do when it comes to attracting leads for your wedding business.

We’re preaching the benefits of blogging all the time, but here’s a quick rundown of what’s in it for you when it comes to blogging:

• Attract targeted local bride and groom traffic.
• Increase your website ranking and visibility.
• Demonstrate your expertise.
• Powerful networking with other wedding professionals.
• Pre-sell brides on your services.…and much, much more!

The problem is that simply writing a blog post…or even writing a whole bunch of blog posts…isn’t enough. You need to write stuff that brides actually read.

You want that lovely bride who lands on your site to be so intrigued with what she finds that she stops, lingers, reads and contacts you.

It’s All About the Title.

When you visit a blog, how do you decide what to read?

Most of the time when we’re surfing the web, we’re skimming. We’re not committed to reading anything, we’re just sort of checking things out.

How do you decide what’s worth your time?

THE TITLE. Come up with a good title and you’re half way there.

If you’re having trouble coming up with a compelling title, just use a proven formula off this list.
