Great video, Brian!

You were saying this is more effective on corporate events, as you can get to the targeted leads more effective, but I am thinking this could work great for weddings too. I am thinking of partnering for the big bridal shows or even creating smaller ones from zero with the partners we identify.

Very inspiring, thank you very much!

Brian,

Thank you so very much for sharing this information. Cross-promotion is huge, but I hesitated as I was unsure of how to begin. Any suggestions on how to approach other businesses?

Hi Allison,
Use the sidebars on your blog to promote. “Sales copy” refers to the sales pitch or marketing message you want to promote and should contain a call to action. For example you might create a graphic banner for the side of your blog that features a seasonal campaign or a coupon. This way if someone lands on your blog because they want to read your review of the event facilities at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens … or your helpful post on how to get a permit to wed in Prospect Park … the reader will see your promo, for example, to save $800 on there wedding when they get your coupon pack featuring discounts from New York’s best wedding professionals when they sign up for your newsletter.
Sorry it took me so long to reply!

Dear Brian,
Your article is very timely, You were talking directly to me. How healthy is it to bring work home. I’ve find myself doing it but I’ve cut back a great deal. Sometimes it doesn’t seems like there’s enough hours in the day and I’m very organized. Being a Wedding Event Planner is very demanding and detailed. Thank you for your advice and words of wisdom.
Warm regards,

Thank you for the insights. We are a Family owned French Cafe and have found that Catering helps get us through the slower days. Thanks again.
