Sneak Peek of our Wedding Blog Search Engine iPhone/iPad App

My Wedding Concierge Revolutionizes How Brides Find Wedding Vendors

We have been feverishly working on coding up an AMAZING App. We will be releasing an iPhone as well as an iPad app for our wedding blog search engine. It won’t only search through wedding blogs for bridal inspiration – we’ve added a geo-locator tool for brides. She can pull up on a map and zoom in on where she is located at that exact moment. What comes next is revolutionary for the wedding world. Pin drops will now dot the map around her to show her all of the wedding vendors who are indexed in our wedding blog search engine. She touches the pin head and up comes photographs of either the vendor’s work or photos of the reception site. She can read a caption on each photograph and click on the “More” button if there are blog articles associated with that vendor or review on reception site for brides to see the “Real Weddings” that have happened there! Here are some screenshots – I’m sure it’ll explain better:

Bride can geo-locate herself via GPS functionality and she can zoom in/zoom out to see all vendors in her area.

Vendor Locator allows brides to click on the pin drop for more information

Photo pops up and text explains photo or promotes location. Bride can click on read more button for access to blog articles about location or vendor.

Blog article that gets pulled up for bride to read - relevant and targeted content related to vendor/reception site - showcases real weddings

The blog articles that are pulled up are targeted and relevant. It will help brides find wedding vendors in her area quickly and easily. She will also get to see blog articles that are associated with you, your work, and location. Now, here’s the best part, we are making this available INTERNATIONALLY. Yes, all the vendors that have been contacting me from the UK and Australia especially, will be able to be on here! Our app will also be released internationally.

Vendors – If you want to be part of this amazing launch, please contact me ASAP and we’ll make sure that your wedding business, photos, and associated blogs are on the map. Since we expect this to be released within 6 weeks, to be part of the launch, you must contact me no later than no later than August, 10, 2010 to be part of the launch. Email me at: info@my-wedding-concierge.com for pricing and details!

Making Things Happen #MTH2010 – 6 Month Anniversary

categories: MTH2010 Tags: business, iPhone App, mobile marketing, MTH2010, trend report, Wedding Blog Search Engine, Wedding Search Engine, Wedding Technology —

Wow. It’s been 6 months since I attended Lara Casey’s Making Things Happen Intensive in Los Angeles. So many things have happened since then. I’ve taken a hard look at My Wedding Concierge and defined exactly what I wanted it to represent. I’ve learned that AUTHENTICITY and TRANSPARENCY would become the most important building blocks of My Wedding Concierge. I’ve CONQUERED my fear of being unable to be a GREAT MOM to my two young children, ADORING WIFE to my most WONDERFUL HUSBAND and growing My Wedding Concierge to where I want it to be. I CAN do it all. I feared FAILURE, but learned that without failure, I would never know SUCCESS. I was distracted and am now focused. I have chosen to be REMARKABLE.

I’ve connected with some amazing people who have helped guide me to where I am today. I met with the AMAZING Sean Low who is so incredibly generous with his time, infinite wisdom, and insights into this business that it would have taken me forever to figure out even 10% on my own. Lara has helped me make my brand stronger and understand that my brand needs to mirror the audience that I want to attract. I plan on attending Engage!10 at the Breakers to further learn how to become a leader in what we are doing in and for the wedding industry.

With all this said, what exactly have we accomplished in the last 6 months?

We’ve partnered up with some of the most talented wedding invitation designers to design our custom iphone apps for wedding vendors.

We’ve finished designing and perfecting our wedding blog search engine – brides can find just about anything she’s looking for without having to filter through useless posts that other search engines have.

We’ll be offering trending reports real soon to the wedding industry – we are able to see and will make available exactly what brides are searching for.

We’re now designing custom iPhone Apps for wedding vendors that stay consistent with their branding.

We’re creating a native iphone and iPad app for our wedding blog search engine – Lucia from http://www.utterlyengaged.com who I met at MTH2010 designed the app for us. Here’s a sneak peak of it:

We’ve been mentioned in INC Magazine.

Our My Wedding Concierge Vendor Guide has surpassed 40,000 downloads by brides.

We’re on track to for a record breaking month at over 200,000 unique pageviews.

We have a lot more gamechangers that will be revealed REAL soon!

We’re changing our directory listing business model from a pay per listing to a Pay it Forward model.

We’ve designed and ordered some spiffy business cards that really set us apart – It definitely has that WOW factor! Thanks Lara and Jeff for pushing me in this direction!

I can’t wait and see what the next 6 months has in store for us!
