Looking for 5 Guest Bloggers!

We’re looking to add 5 Guest Bloggers to our team! My Wedding Concierge is growing at an incredible pace! We are about to turn our wedding blog search engine into an iPhone/iPad App. The Android App is not far behind. You must currently have a blog and write on a regular basis – we will index it free of charge for you as well as place your banner ad on our blog’s sidebar. You will get great exposure for your business on our site and apps. You will be committing to a minimum of 1 article per week. You can blog on trends, create inspiration boards, wedding technology, wedding marketing – really anything your heart desires.

We will be hitting a minimum of 225,000 pageviews this month and I expect it to skyrocket when the Apps get released.

If you’re interested in being considered, please post a link to your blog in the comments section and we’ll be in touch!

My Wedding Concierge Wedding Trends Report

It’s Friday again! I love looking back on the week and seeing what brides are searching for. It’s fun to see what’s trendy for that week and to let you all know what they are. I just hate keeping juicy secrets to myself!

So, here are our most searched terms for the week:

DIY Guest Books – There are SO many ideas for DIY Guest Books. They range from leaving a vintage typewriter out for guests to type their well wishes to having guests sign vintage wine bottles.

Chandeliers – Chandeliers definitely add a very elegant feel to any wedding. Some brides hang it from their tents, some hang them around a ballroom. Wherever they’re hung, they sparkle and bring glitz and glamour to any surroundings.

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!

Wedding Trend Report

categories: Wedding Blog Search Engine,Wedding Trends Tags: blog, trend report, Wedding Blog Search Engine, wedding bloggers, Wedding Search Engine, Wedding Technology, Wedding Trends —

So, we’ve had all of our tracking in place for nearly two weeks now. It’s been fun seeing what brides are searching for on our site. Some days, I get the most random search terms that makes me laugh, ie: donkey & tequilla. Really? On a wedding search engine? But most of the time, brides are searching for colors, wedding gown designers, diy projects, milk glass, succulents, and wedding vendors. I have a lot of blogs indexed, but very few wedding vendors. Contact me if you’d like to have your blog considered for indexing!

We are currently implementing a geo-targeting system inside our wedding blog search engine. What this means is that when a bride searches for a mason jar diy project, I’ll be able to see where she’s located. Brides in different parts of the nation are definitely going to be interested in different things for her wedding – now I’ll be able to show wedding vendors exactly who’s interested in what.

Bloggers – I will be able to tell you how many times a bride clicked through to your site and based on what search term she clicked through on, as well as the landing page that she entered on. This will help you improve your articles, understand your analytics better, as well as see how we are doing for you in terms of traffic being driven to your site.

I’ll leave you with some of our top trending reports for the week:

Pinwheels are always a lot of fun: http://my-wedding-concierge.com/Wedding-Trends/Pinwheels

Vintage Glamour is HOT: http://my-wedding-concierge.com/Wedding-Trends/Vintage%20Glamour

Succulents are ECO friendly and Gorgeous: http://my-wedding-concierge.com/Wedding-Trends/Succulents

Milk Glass has a simple elegance to it: http://my-wedding-concierge.com/Wedding-Trends/Milk%20Glass

Cake Stands: http://my-wedding-concierge.com/Wedding-Trends/Cake Stands

Have a wonderful weekend!

P.S. If you leave a comment as to how you find our search engine useful, how you like it, or how we can improve it, I’ll pick a winner to have their wedding blog indexed for free on Wednesday, June 14!
