New Wedding and Event Planners Group Newsletter, June 11, 2011

NWEP:

Good morning. This weekend should be cooler in New York. Will send NWEP an email tomorrow with some promised information. One of our members has two preaching engagements; will advise you of same as soon as I receive additional information. It is always a good idea to support one another. Enjoy your weekend.

New Member:

Melissa Rodriguez of Pink Chic Events has joined NWEP. She was referred by Kisha Kingston of Royal Amethyst Invitations. Will send additional information about Ms. Rodriguez later next week. Welcome to the group Melissa. At anytime if you have any questions or inquiries, please feel free to contact me.

NWEP Directory: From time to time, I may receive a request for a referral for a vendor and I cannot remember which member services a particular industry. If everyone was to provide me with some information about the type of services they offer, I would be able to send leads directly to you. Please let me know if you would like to have additional information concerning the directory. So far, I have five people who want to be included in the directory but almost seventy members.

What's Happening with NWEP:

NWEP's Blog: We now have a blog -- http://nwepgroup.blogspot.com. Feel free to follow (still creating its content, format, etc.). Please let me know if you would like to be a guest blogger. This blog will list all events and will memoralize some of our newsletters. A new format for the newsletters will occur soon as well as a calendar program -- I promise. Please do not forget if you know of anyone that could benefit from this group, please send me an email.

NWEP's Twitter Account: nwepgroup. I am also in the process of creating a Twitter account for NWEP and following some of its members. If you would like NWEP Group to follow you on Twitter, please send me your link. Your events, new products and ideas can be promoted on NWEP's Twitter account.

In the future for NWEP:

a. Industry networking group (August/Septemer 2011)
b. gathering for NWEP's members (August/September 2011)
c. newsletter program with calendar (and have events listed for those members who do not live in the tri-state area (Buffalo, CA, MO, FL and DC/VA) (July/August 2011)
d. website
e, NWEP's directory (August 2011 -- need more information from members)

Is there anything else you would like NWEP to incorporate into its goals for 2011 for you? Please let me know.

Royale Amethyst Invitations: Check out some of Kisha's latest designs: http://bit.ly/i7ujEk This information will be included on NWEP's blog and Twitter account. You can never get too much (positive) exposure.

Trunk Show: If you have never attended a trunk show and would like to attend one, Angela Lemos (a new bridal designer who specializes in celebratory wear, mother of the bride, bridesmaids dresses) is having a trunk show on June 27, 2011. Please visit her website: www.angelalemos.com for additional information.

PO Box v. UPS v. Mail Box Etc.: If you have a home based business, you may not want to use your home address as your business address. Do you use another source for your mailing address? I use a PO Box address and have been using the same address for approximately seventeen years. I prefer a PO Box because of its convenience; do not have to worry about the company going out of business or relocating and the fees are reasonable. The only drawback is that some companies do not deliver to a PO Box -- that is okay with me.

Targeted Lists: Has anyone purchased and/or used a targeted lists to increase your bottomline?

"A brides wedding day can be the most important and memorable day in her life. It is also probably the most expensive day in her life. A typical couple spends an average of $20,000 - $30,000 on their wedding and honeymoon (and this is a low estimate). Most Recently, With Direct Targeted Marketing Wedding Service Providers such as Limo Companies, Caterers, Wedding Halls, Bridal Shops, Floral Shops, DJ's, Video Services, Beauty Shops and Photographers have been enjoying the Great Response they get with our list of Newly Engaged Brides to Be List. They are able to reach these high ticket prospects at the time their Services are needed the most. less LSDI - Targeted List Services & Ethnic Religious Encoding listservicedirect.com NINA GRAY 201-585-1447"
