Have you successfully worked with bridal stores for your business expansion?

[PamperedChefDude]

We're trying to expand where we are targeting for our business this year.
If anyone works with Bridal Stores or Bridal Consultants how did you contact them, do you use any type of incentive, etc? Please impart your knowledge so we can also be successful! Thanks as always to the all knowing ones out there!:chef:

I have one tux shop in town that I have my brochures at. I have offered the owner, a $20 PC gift certificate for every wedding registry I get from his place. I met a florest and a wedding coordinator at a bridal fair I did last week and they are presenting the information to their clients as well. I offered the same. I haven't response yet, because there weren't many wedding in winter. I'm hoping to see a response.

Let us know Julie if you get any bites. I heard this morning on GMA that between Christmas and Valentine's most people get engaged.

I have a contract to be an exclusive vendor partner with David's Bridal. Do you have one near you? You can simply call the store and get the number for their corporate vendor program.

LisaDream do you have to pay for that?

Bridal fairs I hear work well.

Ugh - my SIL works for DB home office and couldn't even get me into this program! I guess my area is pretty saturated already - I think I know who the ED is who snatched up all of the DBs in my area.

Yes. I pay $225 per month in this area. But I charge consultants for time they work at the booth. Plus PC pays me $50/month for exhibiting at fairs,etc. So it really costs me nothing out of pocket.
