i just sent my money to EverythingWedding.ca so that i can advertise with them this year, as one of their premium vendors.
i know, it's exciting isn't it?!!
i was never convinced that spending money on advertising, was the best thing for my small business. i have so many other expenses to cover, like updating gear, that i figured i would shy away from the big world of advertising. word of mouth would be just fine for me.
i guess things change.
recently, i have started to become good friends with Jayme Morrison, who is not only one of the brains behind Everything Wedding, but a phenomenal wedding photographer as well.
i am having a great time getting to know her, and she keeps telling me that i write hilarious emails and that i make her laugh! i am looking forward to getting to know Jayme even more this year, and i think we'll get along splendidly!
ok, sorry, i got all mushy and off topic.
Jayme approached me about joining Everything Wedding when they launch their vendor area in March, and i was super touched and deeply flattered.
i was flattered because Everything Wedding is only taking higher end, high quality vendors on their site, and to be asked (in my opinion) was a big honour.
i was especially flattered, because i found out that they are limiting the amount of photographers to only a handful , and that they are being very picky about who gets in.
ummmmmmmmmmmmmm...... so you want me? ok.
EverythingWedding is a site where brides from Windsor and Essex county, can not only become members of this area's ONLY Bridal Cafe (where they can chat about planning their weddings and all that goes with it) but where brides/couples can find everything they need to plan their wedding, in one location!
there are a few little (weird) sites already in use around Windsor, where people have tried to put together a list of local vendors, but they kinda suck in comparison to Everything Wedding (no offense you weird little websites).
i guess what excites me the most about getting on board with this project, are two things.
first off, i'm excited to have been asked to work and network alongside Windsor and Essex County's best wedding photographers. i am SUCH a big advocate of networking with other wedding photographers in the area, and this just means that i'll get to do it even more! i love supporting my peers, i love being able to refer clients to someone i trust (when i'm booked if course) and i just love meeting new people!
secondly, i am excited that Windsor and area brides, will now have a one-stop shopping kind of website, where they can find trustworthy vendors that offer great services, all in one place.
oh, and i also like the fact that i don't have to worry about there not being enough copies to go around, unlike the print ads.
The vendor part of Everything Wedding launches in March, but the Bridal Cafe is already up and running, so if you're a bride and you are curious about it, then give it a try, since it's free and all.
in other news.....
i've been sleeping crappy and i'm sooooooooo tired of it!
my brain is too busy with everything going on in my business, and i can't turn it off. i have so many brilliant ideas, so many things to say, and so many big plans, that sleep is becoming elusive right now. i toss and turn all night long, and it's making me insane (which isn't far from the almost-insane state that i regularly find myself in).
that's all.
