Social Media for Wedding Professionals – What is the best Social Media Platform for you?
- We suggests mastering Facebook! Facebook is the platform that every wedding professional should be using to market to brides. Brides are literally on Facebook, everyday, looking for Inspiration from other brides. This typically happens in Facebook groups. In order to become a pro on Facebook and make it work for you, you need to make a few changes. Update your Facebook page and give it a new brand look. Go ahead and update your profile picture with a picture of yourself, or your team or Logo (Logo is typically frowned upon as you want your potential brides to connect with you on Facebook). Then go ahead and update your main picture and update all the important information on your page. Read more about attracting brides on Facebook right here!

3. You guessed which social media platform is next – Pinterest! Not only are brides using this platform to find wedding Inspiration everyday, but they are on it daily. How many times have you met a bride and they are showing you inspiration from Pinterest? Always! In order for some of your work to show up as well as brides are searching on Pinterest you need to post consistently. Every time you search something on Pinterest, it will show you the most relevant pins with the most repins , the most likes, those with descriptions and those with key words. That’s why every thing you post should be named appropriately, you should always fill out the description box and attach key words to it. Name your boards with appropriate key words. Instead of “Pretty Wedding things I like”- Name it “Purple Wedding Inspiration” or Rustic Wedding Ideas”. This way when a bride searches for these key words, you will show up. The more you Pin, the more Pinterest will show your work to brides. I post 50 pins a day using a tool called – BoardBooster! Read our post on how to “Use Pinterest to Plan your brides” Wedding.
