HOW THIS SUCCESSFUL SYSTEM WORKS.

Our state-of-the-art interactive software is highly intuitive and easy to use.

On an ad page a bride & groom member will simply click  'SAVE or PRINT VOUCHER'. This is only visible to members once logged into BDB's database.

This will email you the automatic notification and lodges member details within your account under  ' Voucher Redeems '  for your future verification.

With the information you've received in the automatic email notification you can follow up & secure the booking or subject to how soon their wedding is a member can contact you when they are at the stage of organising your particular service.

Because Bridal Discount Book®  believes in protecting your existing business your offer can be claimed & is valid for 'NEW  BOOKINGS ONLY',  which in turn helps to gain new clientele. Read more in FAQ

CONCERNED ABOUT OFFERING A DISCOUNT?

Well DON'T - No saving is too big or too small because it's not ALL about the discount!

Unless you're listed on Bridal Discount Book ®, going un-noticed amongst your competition is your greatest disadvantage not discounting your services!

Offering a saving doesn't have to represent a loss!

In fact Bridal Discount Book® can increase your bookings average dollar intake and we do this by encouraging business to add -on- sell. What does this mean?

Here's an example:

Photography - To encourage greater sales on a premium package, streamline your offer to reflect a saving or value save (eg: additional enlargement etc) on the purchase of this package in particular.

A cake example - Offer a free cake topper on the purchase of a 3 tiered cake.

This will help you to achieve a greater average dollar amount from the bookings you receive.

What's a value save? This is something added to create the saving. For example:

  • Free postage
  • Additional time or item
  • Up size a package
  • Include an enlargement
  • Gift with purchase

Bridal Discount Book®  is proof that the ' largest saving ' doesn't always win the business. Simply because there are many other factors that influence a bride & grooms final decision. These often include the quality of goods & services to how well the business conducts itself.

In fact brides & grooms often tell us that the reason for their choice of business on Bridal Discount Book® was due to the high level of service & satisfaction they received in dealing with the business rather than the amount of discount they offered - To many the saving is a bonus.

Whatever your choice this must remain completely exclusive to us and redeemable only on presentation of a current voucher &/or valid bride & groom member number (please view terms & conditions).

WHY DOES A BRIDE & GROOM PAY FOR MEMBERSHIP?

Sites offering free memberships may have a larger volume but quantity does not offer quality. In many cases the membership is of no value because the mentality is easy come, easy go!

Research & stats on our past members has proven when a bride & groom commits financially to a Bridal Discount Book®  Membership they are far more inclined to use it to it's full potential.

Therefore our wedding directory comes with a greater assurance that brides will follow through and our leads remain direct and solid.

"I found the website to be very welcoming and easy to use. I love the colours and layout. The email was welcoming and it was good to see my password and username in the start of the email, so it's easy to find. It's all pretty straight forward and to be honest, I can't see anything that needs to be changed. I must say, you have done a great job with it. I only listed late yesterday on bdb I have had 2 brides save my voucher and contact me to book for their wedding".

" We have watched the creation and growth of your business with much enthusiasm.
It is a wonderful concept and one of those things which makes you wonder ‘why didn’t someone think of that before!’
Although, as a venue, it is not part of our marketing plan to discount our services in anyway, we will certainly consider Bridal Discount Book®  as an option over the next couple of months (we never rush into decisions when it comes to advertising & marketing)
We wish you much continued success and will be in contact in the near future ".
