Want to reach brides with an ad?

We realize that things are changing; brides are getting their information from the internet and becoming savvy customers in a way that's never been done before. We're changing with the times.

 

The Wedding Guide will cover you on the traditional marketing fronts with a print ad for a year with 20,000 copies being distributed throughout the area. This is also the only print publication distributed to the attendees of the state's largest wedding event, the NM Wedding Expo. But we're also adding in extras to keep you and your business in front of the brides.

 

Here's here's what else you get:

 

- an ad on the WeddingGuideNM website. OK, another website, big deal, right? Wrong. Not only do we have incredible traffic, thanks in part to the popularity of the Wedding Expo, but we're also marketing on sites all over the internet. We are getting tremendous response and interest.

 

- video on the WeddingGuideNM website. People love video online and they love listening to experts. So you're the expert in your business - and we're going to video you talking about points that brides need to know. Now, we aren't allowing outright promotion, but we will put who you are, your contact info and link to your website so that people can find you if they like what you've got to say. We'll produce the videos and they'll be on the website continuously for a year.

 

- blogs on the WeddingGuide NM site. Blogs let you be an expert once again. Dora Vela will be taking questions from brides and will be answering them in a blog, giving you - the experts - the chance to tell them what they should know. In those, we'll again give you credit and link to your site or provide contact info.

 

- ads on other wedding related internet sites, such as all Wedding Guide advertisers will get a listing on WedSpace.com - a $360 package - just by advertising with us.

 

- Tweets - supply us with some points of interest and we'll tweet about it. The Wedding Guide is tweeting daily and has more than 1700 followers.

 

- Leads ... but not in the usual way. We've found out through doing the Wedding Expo that very, very few of you are following up with the brides after the Expo. In the past 2 years, we've tracked fewer than 5 out of 80+ vendors who have followed up with the list we provided. That means that you're too busy to do it on your own. So, we could give you a lead's list, but how much good would that really do for you. You still don't have time. Instead, we're going to contact the brides through emails and a direct mail campaign, asking them any areas of interest. Then, we'll have them contact you directly ... or, if they'd like, we'll give you their names. But how many people want to have someone else calling or emailing or mailing them something else they're not interested in? Please, we all get too much of that already.

 

Note: the leads list from the NM Wedding Expo won't be shared in any way with anyone except vendors of the Expo. Wedding Guide advertisers will not get access to it.

 

- Monthly email to all the brides who register with us. In these emails, we'll showcase businesses with coupons and specials that can change monthly. You just have to ship it to us and we'll get it out there to the brides.
