So many choices and so many shiny objects! The problem quickly becomes that you simply do not have the resources to chase them all. Nor do you need to.

Additionally, wasting time and not getting the appropriate return-on-investment (ROI) and/or return on effort is just throwing money into a blow-torch.

In the wedding industry, I recommend that you use the following, in the order presented, and optimize your presence at each before moving on to the next. There is little argument about the power of social media, and that it will help you book more weddings. The only question is which channels to use.

  1. Facebook
  2. Instagram
  3. Pinterest
  4. Twitter

Unless you have unlimited resources, focus on Facebook and Instagram.

Action Items
