Google+ for the Wedding Industry – Marketing to Brides

I’ve been playing with Google+ for about a week now and sending invites to wedding vendors who want in on this new social media platform. I’ve been asked many times on twitter and facebook whether I think that it’s necessary to join yet ANOTHER social media site. As little time as I have to devote to yet another platform, I think that google+ is one that we need to pay attention to. Do I think that it’s going to overtake facebook? I don’t think so. I think that it will however, divide early adopters vs. late adopters. Like they say, the early bird gets the worm. Get in there. Learn how to use it, and learn how to use it to market to your brides. It has a lot of buzz right now and the ability to communicate to your own group via circles and not have to include all of your other brides/friends/vendors in the conversation is a huge plus in my book.
I see the ability for you, as a vendor, to have conversations with individual brides in her own circle that doesn’t include spamming all your friends. You can upload photos to her circle and she can reply to the same conversations in complete privacy. Everything is more visual and all in one place. I also find that the user interface was also very well thought out and easy to use. With Facebook fan pages, Google has been rumored to have coming soon, brand pages. That’s another reason to jump onboard now so you’re familiar with how the whole system works.
And one more thing about the advantage of Google+ over facebook? Bye bye Farmville and Mafia Wars!!!
If you already have a google+ account, an easy way to create a vanity account is: visit: gplus.to enter a username, add your google account number and voila, it’s done!
Mine is: http://gplus.to/wedding if you want to connect with me.

Social Media Integration – Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr

Social Media Integration

We just launched our social media integration suite of tools tonight! We’ve made it incredibly easy for you to post any of the images found in our Image Concierge onto your social media accounts. If you go to our Image Concierge and do a search for any wedding related images, as long as you’re logged into your twitter, facebook, tumblr, or pinterest accounts, you can simply click the icon button below the photo to post the photo directly to those sites! With the facebook icon, you can also send your friends a quick note with the photo attached. I would love to hear if you like this new feature or how we can improve upon it! If you need a pinterest invite, please leave a comment here with your email address and I’ll send you one right away!
