The appetite to market your business should not be influenced by just quenching your psychological thirst to take action. This can result in you spending a little money in a lot of places and still have a company that needs nourishing. Better to wine and dine your company with the best marketing and branding, take in a belly full of business and never again go hungry.
It is easy for a wedding professional to feel they are very proactive in promoting their business by taking the time to take a basic listing on many advertising websites or take small ads in wedding magazines. Getting noticed and generating a meaningful response this way is like attending many crowded sporting events hoping that the television camera panning the crowd will see you and put you on television.
