Hi Annette,<br />
<br />
I like your 'pay it forward' attitude, which in and of itself is helpful to wedding professionals. Before I can offer a suggestion, I'd like to know what you do first. I agree with Glenn that intangibles like reliability and resourcefulness can mean more than discounts.

I agree with Glenn that intangibles like reliability and resourcefulness can mean more than discounts. In fact, I worry that lowering your prices to bump up their profit margin might leave you with an unsustainable business- lots of clients, not much profit- over time.

<br />
Is it nice/helpful to be able to pass on coupons and contests from other wedding businesses?<br />
