Marketing to Brides in 2012

Happy New Year Everyone!!


I hope that everyone has had a wonderful holiday season and is looking forward to the New Year!


Being that you are a business that caters to the bridal industry, you know how important it is to prepare your marketing strategy for the new year. I also understand that you know January and February are the busiest times for bridal shows.


A bridal show is one way to not only save money on marketing, but also, to use your marketing dollars to the best of your ability.

Bridal shows bring 100′s of potential clients to YOU.

That means you don’t have to go looking for them!


What better way to market your business!


Bridal Fair, Inc. is the longest running show in the U.S. and Canada. They have a long standing track record of providing Quality and also, even more important, giving the businesses that participate, the Return on Investment.


Many have even said that they have booked more jobs from participating in Bridal Fair, than in any other show!


Some of you may already be committed to one or more shows already, however, what better way to stay in the public eye than to continue down that path?


Staying in the public eye is key! Saturate the market with your company and services!


You are trying to gain a client for LIFE, not just their wedding day! Brides are not coming to these shows to just plan their wedding day, they are planning their future! They want people in all industries, that they can TRUST and REFER!


Bridal Fair, Inc. shows have an average of over 2,000 attendees, with an average of 600 brides!


In 2009, the last show Bridal Fair did in OKC, 756 brides registered and came to this sought after show!


Promotion for the Bridal Fair, on February 25th, is through News9, Renda Broadcasting, Oklahoma Wedding Ideas, and Brides of Oklahoma. Therefore, we will be reaching the majority of the state with our advertising.

We are also working out a promotional deal with Lamar Advertising.


Each participant will receive shared mentions on our marketing ads with News9 and Renda Broadcasting.

You also have the option of buying into one of the actual air time packages, which Bridal Fair has been given exclusive discounts from News9 and Renda Broadcasting, to offer you.


Another, of the many advantages of participating in Bridal Fair, is their Lead List – which is golden! Bridal Fair takes approximately 3 weeks, after the show, to send you a CD (Golden Opportunity Book), with several different formats to use. They meticulously go through all of the information and make sure all of the email addresses are correct and not “undeliverable”.


Also, please see the attached summary of the new marketing product, SmartStart Bridal Network, that Bridal Fair, Inc. will be launching right after the new year.
With a purchase of a booth space, you will receive a one-year subscription to this brand new, innovative technology!

NO ONE has this technology Bridal Fair, Inc is getting ready to launch!!!!!!

Those are just a taste of what we have to offer! All that we have to offer is outlined in the attached package.

If you want to grow your business and not only gain a client for their wedding day, but also build a relationship to where you gain a client for life, that refers you, then this is the show to participate in!

Reserve your booth space today!

I look forward to working with you in 2012!

Like its metaphysical outlook, the services offered are unique.”
