| She is a makeup artist, just started out a year ago. She has her diploma etc. She has spent thousands in advertising her services to clients in a bridal magazine, in the Yellow Pages, on local newspapers, on her website, on magnets carrying her ad on her car doors, on tons of business cards, which she has handed out. She made posters and dropped them off personally to twenty schools. She has circulated pamphlets. She knows she still has to go market herself to the advertising agencies, the modelling agancies the wedding consultants, the photographers, models etc, etc, which she intends to get to that asap. But my question is: After a whole year of being very proactive in her advertising and having spent so much money, how come she has only had one phone call for two school girls, ie. only two clients? Why does advertising not work? Her ads are beautiful and has a photo of her on her wedding day on it (she did her own makup for that), e-mail, website, tel numbers & her specialities. |

| Thousands for Ad,but only 2 students?I can't believe it!There must be something terriblly wrong about it.As a makeup artist,reflection from customers is utmost important. It's very "concrete" and "visible".So Ad may not make sense.Focus your target to the churches and wedding agency(is there an agency for that?),with this you can know who may need makeup.Then sponsor the agency or the churches,leave your ad on the cover of the wedding certificate ,or you can have some gifts to them.Is this helpful? |

Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
