INTERVIEW WITH 'CREATE MY WEDDING'

It is our great pleasure to introduce to you the unique Wedding Planning and Directory company CreateMyWedding.com. I spoke to owners Rob & Waseem to find out more about their company and they share some valuable tips on fruitful exposure for your Wedding business.



When and why did you start your business?
Our official Royal Launch is on 29th April, however getting to this day has taken 6 months of careful planning, researching and many sleepless nights!
We started this business to provide both an easier means for couples to find providers for their wedding day and to provide a quality, value for money, means for wedding suppliers to market their business.
What is it you do and what services do you offer?
I could talk about this for hours, but I'll try and keep it short.
We provide what we like to call a "wedding marketing platform" where through combining the power of the Internet, especially social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, with personal recommendations we bring future brides and groom (but mainly brides, as let’s face it the grooms don’t tend to get involved too much in the planning of the special day!) to our user friendly site to then provide them with some informative options of wedding suppliers to make their special day perfect for them.
For Wedding suppliers we offer a fantastic platform to market their business in a variety of ways and at such an affordable price. Wedding Suppliers can have an advert in multiple counties, where they can have their images displayed across the site for free and can also get premium banner adverts for free. Perhaps most importantly we provide a great platform for suppliers to have their satisfied customers leave reviews about the service that they received. These reviews are then easily shared to all their friends throughout Facebook, raising the profile of the Wedding Supplier
What makes you Unique?
Excellent question! Well here at CreateMyWedding.com we didn’t want to be an ordinary Online Wedding Directory, we wanted to have flair and stand out from the rest. How have we achieved this? What we have done is completely decluttered the site from side ads, which when we spoke to Brides to Be said sometimes gave them too much choice or confused them!
We have made the site more visually appealing and very simple and friendly to use, but most important we have implemented a unique feature which we can proudly say no one else offers is our “Fair Viewing System”. Simply put our adverts randomise each time the page has been refreshed giving Local Wedding Suppliers a fair chance of being seen.
We also have exclusivity where only 16 suppliers from each category can be featured on the site giving the chance for fair competition and not being lost in a sea of suppliers once again confusing our fabulous Brides to be, as let’s face it choice is great but too much can drive you mad!
Another Unique feature is that we cater to both Traditional and Asian Wedding sectors allowing you to showcase your fabulous business in both areas furthermore increasing your exposure!
We have some more but will keep those for another day!
What inspired you?
Both our wives have businesses in the wedding sector and we came to recognise that although there are plenty of "directory" style websites out there, there was a lack of sites that provide the full package of user friendliness , with informative adverts with reviews and that were actually value for money.
What's your greatest achievement?
Our greatest achievements have to be finding amazing wives who are so inspirational and also have been so patient with us over the last 6 months
I think we would both say marrying our lovely wives is our greatest achievement!
What's the future of your business?
The goal and focus of the business hasn't changed from day 1, where we set out to be the No.1 wedding site, that thousands of brides visit each month to plan their perfect day.
We have some fantastic offers for your Blog Readers for our Royal Launch Weekend.
