A short episode this week as I wanted to address just this one point of consistency during this messed up year.
Being consistent regardless of what is going on behind the scenes of your business is so important. It shows couples that they can rely on you and that's important to them. Whether you get help from the government or not and regardless of needing to source other work opportunities or not showing up for your business consistently through it will put you higher on the desire list for couples.
Imagine you are a bride or groom looking for a vendor you come across one that has good reviews and you go onto their Facebook and they haven't posted anything since March about weddings or haven't posted anything since March at all! Would you think that vendor was still in business and even if they were would you think they were still passionate about weddings? I have to say I wouldn't.
Now let's say you look at another vendor and they were last active yesterday and you can scroll back in their feed and see wedding images, positive quotes for couples, sympathising messages of advice for couples. Behind the scenes peeks at other things they are doing while they wait to get back to weddings. Would you have more faith that vendor would be reliable?
I know I would.
So despite lockdown 2 happening let's be consistent for our followers let's keep it upbeat and positive and focus on what we can do. Many vendors I know had already written off doing any more weddings this year with all their 2020 brides having moved to next year already so this set back shouldn't make much difference to them. What we need to focus on now is marketing and setting up our socials to receive new couples in the new year.
Don't forget now is also a great opportunity to look back at episode 002 ~ Future-Proofing your Business episode, 005 ~ Social Media Consistency, 028 ~ Content is King and 029 Giveaways for Lead Generation.
