MailChimp
There are multiple reasons why I love MailChimp, and if you are a wedding planner looking to grow an email list, I have a feeling you are going to love them too. They have so many great email templates that make you emails LOOK good. I know I’m not the only one more excited to create a beautiful email, right?!
Since I enjoy the design process more, I’m actually sending out more emails to my list as well (which leads to more sales). Lastly, I love that the price for MailChimp is so affordable. Click here to get a % off MailChimp promo code and save on your first year!
Entrepreneur Encounter Circle
Can I be honest? The wedding industry is full of amazing talent, but sometimes we get caught up in our own bubble. Look beyond the wedding world for inspiration. Connect with a diverse group of entrepreneurs, share ideas, and step outside the typical wedding planning circle. If you want to transform your wedding business into a place where you are more than just another wedding planner but a true leader in your community, consider Entrepreneur Encounter Circle as your stepping stone to truly lean into and embrace that role. If you want to connect with fellow entrepreneurs of all kinds and want to step into something a little different than the typical wedding planner education circles, I highly recommend it!
