Welcome to the latest episode of Book More Weddings with WedHustle! In this episode, we're discussing a topic that many wedding professionals struggle with - social media. Let's face it, social media can be overwhelming and time-consuming. It can feel like a never-ending cycle of content creation, posting, and engagement. And for those who don't enjoy being in front of the camera or writing captions, it can be downright painful. However, as much as we may hate it, social media is an essential part of the wedding industry. It's where engaged couples go to search for inspiration and vendors for their big day. If you're not present on social media, you're missing out on potential clients. So, how can you learn to love social media or at least tolerate it? We'll be discussing practical tips for creating a social media strategy that works for you, how to save time with social media scheduling tools, and ways to make the process more enjoyable. Finally, we'll be discussing the importance of being authentic on social media and not comparing yourself to others. It's easy to fall into the trap of feeling like you're not doing enough or not as successful as your colleagues. But remember, everyone's journey is different, and it's essential to stay true to yourself. So, whether you're a social media lover or hater, tune in to this episode of Book More Weddings with WedHustle to learn how to make social media work for you and your wedding business. -- 🔥 Work With Us: https://wedhustle.com/work-with-us/ ✅ Join Our Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wedhustlecommunity 📱 Social: TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@wedhustle Instagram: https://instagram.com/wedhustle Website: https://wedhustle.com/

We all want to have a conversation with a potential client, via email, message or phone, so we need them to respond in order for this to happen.  If you’re finding that you’re being ghosted more than not in your wedding business, then you need to make some changes. -- 🔥 Work With Us: https://wedhustle.com/work-with-us/ ✅ Join Our Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wedhustlecommunity 📱 Social: TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@wedhustle Instagram: https://instagram.com/wedhustle Website: https://wedhustle.com/

Have you ever heard the phrase, “if something is too good to be true then….”   Of course you have, well the same logic can be applied to the price of your services.   If you put yourself in your client’s shoes, they’re shopping around for all sorts of wedding suppliers, they’re starting to realise how much services cost, and whilst it may be a surprise to them, they understand why.   Then they get a quote from a supplier who is a lot cheaper than the rest, they’ll either jump for joy at finding something so cheap, or more than likely think “why is this so cheap? It can’t be very good!”.   This is true in many aspects of life, but really does ring true in the wedding industry.   For most clients you encounter, they’re doing this once, it’s the most important day of their lives and they want to make sure it’s all absolutely perfect, so why are they going to settle for the cheapest options?   So here are our 5 reasons that low pricing will actually hold your wedding business back!  -------   🔥 Work With Us: https://wedhustle.com/work-with-us/  ✅ Join Our Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wedhustlecommunity  📱 Social:    Instagram: https://instagram.com/wedhustle  TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@wedhustle  Website: https://wedhustle.com/
