Many people’s only large-scale social event is their wedding. For these and other reasons, the wedding venue accounts for around half of a couple’s total wedding expenditures. Therefore, couples want the venue to be picture-perfect since it serves as the stage for their wedding day. However, wedding venues face intense competition from hundreds of different venues, each offering its own special amenities and atmosphere.

So, a well-thought-out marketing strategy not only aids in providing couples with the ideal venue but also boosts earnings. As a result, numerous venues dedicate a different marketing approach to weddings. One such is providing personalized wedding water bottle labels to make them more appealing.

Tips to Make the Venue Stand Out from the Rest

Here are some ways to market your wedding venue to couples that will help it stand out from the competition:

·       Promote What Couples Desire

Ensure your advertising speaks to the needs and desires of engaged couples searching for a wedding venue. Even while wedding planners may play an important role, your primary audience should be the happy newlyweds. You need to find out what people are looking for to assist them with the best service. In other words, this will set you apart from the competitors.

Businesses today have realized (and rightly so) to emphasize devising strategies that revolve around their customers. In other words, putting customers and their interests first is a way forward for companies in this digital age.

There was a time when marketing used to be a one way communication and businesses were dictating the terms. Today, however, it is customer who is firmly sitting in the driving seat and making informed decisions regarding what to purchase and whom to engage with. Part of the reason for this unprecedented age of customer is technology-driven change along with an explosion of open and online engagement. Companies are now constantly being scrutinized by consumers in order to ensure not just better quality of products or services, but better experience as well. Suffice it to say, the balance of power has comprehensively shifted toward customers.

Customer centricity, therefore, has become the central focus of any company. It’s a way of doing business that provides a positive customer experience before and after the sale with a clear vision, exceptional strategy, and powerful execution. It includes offering greater personalization, better communication, nurturing relationships, and high-valued connected experiences across channels.

When you design a website the ultimate goal is CONVERSION. Conversion Rate Optimization or CRO is a common practice followed by successful marketers to convert visitors into customers.

Opposed to the common misconception that online marketing is very costly and only affordable by big entrepreneurs, CRO boost conversion rates without incurring large and impractical expenses.

Let us point out some barriers to CRO, how it can adversely affect the “selling potential” of your website and subtle ways in which it can be overcome:

1- Speed means Customer Satisfaction

Slow sites are a bad User Experience (UX). Period.

Impatient Users get irritated by a slow loading webpage.

Back in 2009, Google conducted a research which shows that slowing down a page by 100-400 milliseconds (less than half a second) reduced searches by 0.2%-0.6%. This might sound like a small number but it amounts to a loss of 14,400 searches, per minute! Furthermore if the website keeps up this trend for a considerable time, the users get detached with an accelerated pace.

According to a study by Strangeloop networks a mere 1 second delay can cause “16% decrease in UX, 11% fewer page views and 7% loss in conversion”.

But it is 2016 and times have changed substantially. With plethora of options available to users, page loading time has become more important than ever. Here is a graph which compares bounce rate with loading time of the page.

Nowadays people expect a website to load within 3.7 seconds. Typical Ecommerce websites take 4.9 seconds to become usable.
