If you feel like you're doing all the things but still blending in, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I'm joined by Heidi Thompson of Evolve Your Wedding Business for a conversation about what's actually separating the booked-out wedding pros from everyone else right now. We dig into why most vendors don't have a visibility problem, they have a messaging problem, and what it actually takes to stand out in a market where everyone is saying the same thing. We also talk price transparency, the evolving Gen Z couple, why your website is the only thing you truly own on the internet, and what's coming up at the Book More Weddings Summit August 17–21.
Key takeaways:
- Why most wedding pros don't have a visibility problem , they have a messaging problem, and how to tell the difference
- What the booked-out wedding pros are doing differently right now (and it's not posting more on Instagram)
- Why price transparency is no longer optional if you want to attract today's couples
- How Gen Z's research habits are changing the inquiry timeline, and what that means for your marketing
- Why your website is the only marketing asset you truly own and why it should never feel "done"
