GAIN CREDIBILITY:  If your business is just starting out, you need to make a name for yourself. You need to become recognized in the industry by other professionals and known to prospective clients. Bridal Shows are a great way to do that. Not only will you market your business to potential customers and become more well-known in the area, but you’ll gain more credibility with other industry professionals who have been in the business for years. Anyone can download a program for designing invitations, but you’ll become a reputable and credible invitation and stationery stylist by exhibiting in the Unveiled Boutique Bridal Show. And by becoming reputable and credible, you’ll seem more knowledgeable to prospective clients.

NETWORKING WITH LOCAL PROFESSIONALS:  To gain credibility with local professionals at a bridal show, you need to network. You are surrounded by dozens of experienced, knowledgeable professionals who have been in this industry for years. Why not take advantage of it? Share ideas, give advice, take suggestions, listen to stories, learn what to avoid and what to do, consider a partnership or collaboration, and meet new friends! Knowing someone in your profession – or even just the wedding industry in THE QUINTE REGION– will make your life so much easier when it comes to running a business. Not sure what printing service is best? Want to redesign your site but not sure who to hire? Want to suggest some vendors to a bride you’re meeting with? Having connections is so important to becoming a credible wedding resource. Plus, they can help you market, too! If they like your work, they’ll refer you to brides and clients they meet with; that’s free marketing for your business!
