A Guide to Advertising Your Wedding Business or Service on ~ Wedding-Service ~ UK

~ Wedding-Service UK ~
EVERYTHING for Your Wedding Day in ONE Website since 1997

Updated: 13 February 2008 - should print out easily for future reference

We aim to deliver our visitors quickly to our customer's websites, and have done this successfully since 1997, and in most cases we offer much better value than pay per click style advertising. Our main attributes are as follows:

q    Fast Loading with Easy Navigation – No multiple menus to delay search for info by customers. Every service listed by both by Service Type and County or regional Area. Our site exists to pass visitors as quickly as possible to your own web site with direct Website hyperlinks and E-mail links.

q    Well placed with Search Engines – many firms find themselves by searching for their name or service type in their area ! Site Regularly Updated – most changes and New Adverts are added within 48 hours. Regular change means search engines continue to take notice of our site and often the profile of your own site may well be enhanced as a result.

q     Consistently large numbers of UNIQUE VISITORS. Since 2002 we have averaged over 15,000 a week, who usually view about 25,000 pages. Some sites have loads of hits, but often the visitors don’t get through to the supplier directory and their website links.

HISTORY

WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW ?

~ Wedding-Service ~ UK

was established in 1997 by David Allison from Dundee and was acquired in February 2002 by Andrew Hale, who has run The Wedding Emporium and Bridal Information Bureau in the West Country for many years, so is experienced in both the Wedding business as well as Information provision.

Our philosophy is to provide an effective and value for money service for a whole year for the price of a single press advert in your local paper.

We are currently updating the design of the site to make navigation clearer and also to give greater prominence to advertisers who have paid most money.

We are also limiting the amount of advertisers in each category so that levels of enquiry will be greater for each advertiser.

We are continuing a programme of of advertising to further stimulate interest in the site and hence overall visitor numbers.

February 2008 - We are currently finalising our brand new site look. Please see our testing site which will also include a Members area which will allow advertisers to offer Special offers to Site members in their local area .
