My Wedding Concierge Inspiration Board Creator App – Desire Preview

We are getting ready to launch our Inspiration Board creator app for the iPhone and iPad! Get ready to be able to create inspiration boards in just a few minutes! No longer will you need to know how to use Photoshop or Illustrator. Make inspiration boards just like the professional bloggers! I just reread what I typed…and it sounds like an infomercial. But whatever…you’re going to love it. We’re looking to submit to Apple next week and vendors, if you want to get your photos on, let me know and we can make that happen! Would love to hear your feedback on this new app and how we can improve on it!

New Advertising Opportunity on My Wedding Concierge

categories: My Wedding Concierge Info,Wedding Technology,Wedding Trends,iPad App,iPhone App Tags: advertising, apps, inspiration engine, iPad App, iPhone App, media kit, mobile marketing, tumblr, wedding vendor marketing —

Our Inspiration Engine Apps have been out for a few weeks now and have done phenomenally well! We are on track to hit 750,000 pageviews in December!!! We’ve started a tumblr blog a few days ago and we love how easy and fast it is to post. We’ve skinned it and made it real pretty. We’ll be posting several times a day – really whatever tickles our fancy and what we think will inspire our brides planning their weddings.

Here is where we’ll help you shine!

Our Tumblr blog will be indexed into our website’s search engine, our Inspiration Engine iPhone and iPad apps, and each post will be tweeted to our nearly 5,000 followers. The posts will be search engine optimized for Google as well as My Wedding Concierge so brides who type your company name into our search engine will find you immediately. Each sponsored post will also be tagged for searchability as well. The posts live on indefinitely on tumblr and our search engines. We will never take them down so this is a great opportunity to reach tens of thousands of brides easily and forever! Because the posts are optimized for keywords, this works for local, national, or international vendors. You’ll also get a link directly back to your site. We are only accepting a limited number of sponsored posts each week and our rates are awesome (really they are!), so shoot me an email and we can get your ad rolling right away! You can email me at: info@my-wedding-concierge.com

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.

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:

my wedding concierge ipad blog search engine app

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!
