A lot of brides today see invitations as one area where they can cut costs by doing it themselves. I'm curious to know if it really does save money. Whether you're a DIY bride or a shop-around bride, share here what kind of money it's costing for you to complete your invitation ensemble (don't forget the save-the-dates, RSVPs, wedding programs, and thank-you notes). And don't be afraid to share what triumphs or disasters you've had in your stationery adventures!

<p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">I just loved being able to assist Ashley, one of our latest brides to attend last years fall session in a test group. Following is what she said about classes at the end of the 3rd class in the session. "OMG, I had no idea that there was so much that I needed to know about planning my wedding and didn't have a clue about. I knew I needed help and have been following you on Facebook forever. What I loved the most is that in 12 hours and over the course of several weeks, you had broke it down into easy to swallow sections to keep it from being overwhelming. Being able to do the work on my own, but being able to ask questions and get the guidance when and where I needed it was truly priceless."<br/> <br/> Ashley was fun and totally fabulous to work with. I can't wait to see pic's from her late spring wedding. The coral and ivory color combo with crystals is going to pop in the Littleton rose garden she's chosen for her wedding.</span></span></p>

<p>Although 2010 is off to a very cold start, I believe the wedding industry is going to be warming up. Many bridal couples postponed weddings last year because of fears about the economy. But this year,
couples are optimistic and anxious to move ahead. That said, I do<br />
believe smaller budgets and DIY elements will continue to dominate.</p>

<p>Although 2010 is off to a very cold start, I believe the wedding industry is going to be warming up. Many bridal couples postponed
weddings last year because of fears about the economy. But this year,<br />
couples are optimistic and anxious to move ahead. That said, I do<br />
believe smaller budgets and DIY elements will continue to dominate.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>With that in mind, my advice to wedding industry professionals is to be informed, plan ahead and stay in front of the bride in every way
possible. In order to do that you have to do a little research.</p>
<p>Many small business owners don't use a marketing plan, probably because they don't know how. But a basic plan can be simple and a very
valuable tool. The gist of a marketing plan is to define your target<br />
customer and decide how and when you will market to them. One of the<br />
most important aspects to a marketing plan is knowing what works for<br />
you and what doesn't. You have to know how customers found you - so<br />
ask and keep track. Part of the tracking process should also include<br />
an evaluation of some kind from the client. Ask for their comments and<br />
referrals.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>Essential elements to a successful low-cost marketing plan in 2010:</p>
<ul>
<li>Network, network, network -- it's the best business builder. Advertising budgets have no doubt been shrunken down to bare bones but
ask other vendors what is working for them.</li>
<li>Get listed on the numerous free directories online. Yes, they are crowded with vendors but the more frequently a potential customer sees
your name, the more likely they are to call you.</li>
<li>Another given, is social media. As much as we may be tired of hearing about Facebook, Twitter and the like -- they work.</li>
<li>Also key is being innovative with your service offerings. That doesn't mean giving away your services. But do get creative -- look at
what brides are doing and want and find a way to fulfill their needs. <br />
If many potential clients can't afford your usual services, find a way<br />
to pare down your offerings to reduce your cost (without sacrificing<br />
quality, of course.)</li>
<li>PR is free -- many businesses undervalue public relations in the marketing plans. That may be because they don't know how or what it is
exactly but the internet has lots of info on how to write and get press<br />
releases published. You only need to invest a little time for a<br />
possible great return -- getting in front of brides!</li>
</ul>
<p>Your business' outlook for 2010 can be sunny if you are willing to make an adequate investment of time. Brides are looking to hire --
will you be the one?</p>
