New Way to Attract Brides

Wedding Professionals: 

The time has come!  It is now time to truly make BridalTweet a wedding community that will take your wedding business to the next level.  So, after surveying both brides and wedding vendors, I've decided to make two major changes to this wedding community. 

The first major change was made to our community's homepage.  We're now featuring one member blog post at a time.  This will give wedding vendors a chance to really be in the spotlight - for free.  If you'd like your blog post to be featured, then join our wedding community (if you haven't already) and write a free wedding blog post.  Your post might be featured!  Remember that our team of editors will likely pick wedding blog posts that will attract brides - posts with beautiful visuals and inspirational wedding content. 

The second major change was that I added a new Preferred Wedding Vendors section to this wedding community to 1) showcase a select group of wedding vendors and 2) make wedding planning super easy for brides for visit our wedding community.  You can view this new Preferred Wedding Vendors section of our community and also check out a Sample Listing. You'll notice that these new, premium listings include an area for customer reviews, a photo slide show of your work, and links to your website, blogs, Facebook page, etc.  Still not convinced that you should become a BridalTweet Preferred Wedding Vendor?... 

Here are 6 reasons to become a BridalTweet Preferred Wedding Vendor:

1. Brides Will Notice Your Business: BridalTweet is ranked high on Google. Thousands of brides searching for wedding information reach our site every month. In fact, our wedding community gets 20,000 unique visitors each month. With our new Preferred Wedding Vendors section, brides can easily search for every resource they’ll need to plan their dream wedding.  Bonus - We're also planning a major advertising campaign on Facebook in order to drive additional traffic to this new section. 
2. Take Advantage of Our Launch Discount: The cost to be listed in this new section will be very affordable at $149 per year.  However, the first 50 people who contact me will pay only $99/year.  Why is it so affordable?  Like many of you, I'm also a small business owner and I believe that we all need to help each other out in order for our industry to prosper. That's why I've created this affordable marketing solution for you. 
3. This is a Limited Opportunity: In creating these new Preferred Wedding Vendor listings, it is my intention to provide an easy to use, high-quality resource for brides - one they can trust. For that reason, we will keep each category limited. And having limited categories will ensure that all of our Preferred Wedding Vendors will get noticed.  For each nationwide category (i.e. stationery, favors, etc.), we will only select up to 25 vendors. And for each local category (i.e. photographers, planners, etc.), we will only select up to 25 vendors per state. Spots will go quickly, so reach out to us as soon as you can.
4. You Will Receive a Special Bonus ($99 Value): With over 20,000 followers on Twitter, BridalTweet has become influential in the wedding industry. In fact, WeFollow.com has ranked BridalTweet even more influential than The Knot. By becoming a Preferred Wedding Vendor, we'll tweet about your business two times throughout the year.
5.  You'll Benefit from Customer Reviews: This premium listing was designed with a special section to showcase your customers' reviews. Encourage your customers to write about their experiences with you. This is a great and easy way to attract new bridal leads.
   
6. You'll Get a Special Badge for Your Website: Preferred Wedding Vendors will receive a special badge to place on their site or blog. This badge will attract attention because it indicates that a vendor has been hand-picked and has received the BridalTweet stamp of approval.
