Writing a Marketing Plan for a Wedding Business
I know from my experience in the wedding industry that very few businesses have either a business plan or a wedding specific marketing plan, even fewer have one that they adhere to and is actually useful to their business!
If either of those scenarios sound familiar then you are seriously missing a trick! While a business plan is important, a marketing plan is essential and will seriously take your business forward year after year.
Let me give you an example of what I mean.
A Wedding Business Marketing Plan shouldn’t just be a few ideas and a summary written down, referred to once and then forgotten forever, it should be a working document that you know like the back of your hand and that is constantly updated. You should look at it at least once a week to see what your actions are and update your results.
Your marketing plan should include the following:
- A list of marketing activities that you have used previoudly in your business.
- A description on how each activity is carried out.
- The previous return from each activity.
- A calendar listing when each activity will be carried out.
- An up to date report on how the marketing plan is working this year versus last year.
If you keep track of this information then I guarantee your business will move forward in leaps and bounds.
