Hi all :) I have access to a Bridal Leads List and I believe that it is a monthly list thought a Bridal Show Web Site and Company that I have worked with before exhibiting at their shows and also advertising on their web site. They are one of the premium and most well-known Bridal Show Companies in my area and I know both owners in person as well.

What would be done is after the bridal shows take place, a list of leads is generated with names of Brides, wedding dates, addresses if known, e mail address if known and phone numbers or whatever personal information has been given, but we have to be paid advertisers on the web site to get the leads.

The cost is $100.00 monthly to advertise and get the leads and I would like to know who among us is in the North/Central New Jersey area and would like to split this list with me 2 or 3 ways, as well as the cost? I believe we can list all of us on the web advertisement on this site and share contacts from potential brides as well in some way that we can all work out.

There are also many bridal shows that we may be able to split the cost on too, but mostly, I'm interested in the leads that will come from these shows.

Anyone interested can contact me here or at [email protected] so that we can work things out.

Excited here at the potential leads and business!!!:rolleyes:
 
Oh how I wish I was near you. If anyone near the panhandle of WV is doing this, I would be soooo interested in helping with expense..

I wish you were too! :( But, maybe this would be a good idea for the rest of us. Look up companies that do Bridal Shows and see about getting their leads if we advertise on their sites? Or share the cost of Bridal Show tables, which can be very expensive as a single Consultant expense.
 
We have a huge bridal expo at the mall, but it is in Feb. I think (which I am sure was covered by PC). I will check for the next one though
 
anyone near me looking to split? st louis metro area

One question though...........what would the boundaries be for advertising on a Bridal Show web site? Would we be able to have the links to our web sites posted as long as we don't use the PC logo? The new guidelines have made me very wary about advertising these days.

I've looked into this and I've been in contact with the HO. We can't advertise on the internet at all, even if we don't list a link to our websites. We cannot mention "The Pampered Chef" in any way. When I spoke with someone in the HO, she said the only way this would work is if the ad said something like us being a consultant for "a direct sales company that specializes in high quality kitchen tools, gadgets and cookware" or something to that effect. To me, it's not worth it to put the $$$$ into internet advertising if it wouldn't be clear who we are. I'm hoping that someday the rules about this can change because these days SOOO much wedding planning is being done on the internet.

If you'd still like to pursue advertising specifically for getting bridal-related leads, look into print advertising. There are lots of wedding guides out there. And most of them have some type of lead sharing program. Be forewarned....it's very expensive. I think $100/month (that was mentioned in the post above) is extremely reasonable and I'd definitely go for that. I've never seen anything that cheap in my area. Especially if you're getting the leads too. Good luck!!!
 
Oh...one more thought. Check and see if you can elect NOT to advertise on the internet if you do the leads program. Maybe they'll knock down the price. If not, depending on how many leads they say you'll average per month, $100 could still be very reasonable.

I use to leave in Northeast NJ, but moved to PA. I so want to move back to NJ.:( If I ever make it back, I'll be in contact. Good Luck!
