As a veteran in the wedding industry who’s seen the ebbs and flows of our sector for over 15 years, believe me when I say that slashing prices to beat out your competitors is never a good thing. In fact, it’s an unhealthy and selfish practice. Let me explain 👇🏻
1. You deserve to be paid for your skill, years of experience, training, and talent = this all equals value. Don’t discount your worth 👏
2. It Hurts the industry. Charging too little sets unrealistic expectations for the industry and clients. It also causes others to not take our industry seriously. Rise together, don’t race to the bottom.
3. Low prices attract the wrong clients. Discount seekers often expect the most and value your work the least. Charge what reflects your quality. There, I said it 💁🏼♀️
4. Burnout is real. Undervaluing yourself leads to overworking for less—hello stress, goodbye passion. Makes sense right? 💓
5. Confidence sells! When you price with confidence, clients trust your value. The right ones will pay for the experience. This is something you hear me say over and over.
All in all, my policy is to think about that bigger picture and how much business decisions affect not only me, but those around me as well. And hey, it’s gotten me this far 🤩
As an entrepreneur/wedding and event pro, it feels so good to find local skincare products that fit into my busy lifestyle 👏
Thanks so much @osha_mae_soap for introducing me to your incredible, lux and all natural, delicious smelling, handmade in NS products 🤎
I’ve introduced Osha Mae’s Super Vitamin Serum and Neroli Hydrosol into my regular skincare routine and I’m so excited to try the Shampoo Bar and Natural Tint Lip Balm🧖♀️
Here’s to local supporting local 🤎👏
Price transparency should be a thing across the board in the wedding industry IMO. Here’s just a few reasons why, but I’ll preface that by saying - do whatever works for you and your business ✌🏻
1️⃣ Being upfront with your price point will attract the right clients by offering couples that are looking to hire you a glimpse into what they can expect and what their investment is before you even chat!
2️⃣Avoids sticker shock and disappointment! You may have a dream potential client reach out, you may vibe well, the consultation may go amazingly, but when they receive your quote, said dream client could realize that realistically, your services are too far out of budget because it’s hard for engaged couples to pinpoint how much things cost while planning a wedding. Or they may hire you, but your journey together starts with a difficult conversation and attempts at negotiation.
3️⃣Public facing pricing can save both the business owner and couples A LOT of time and energy! It’s a common misconception that quoting planning clients can happen at the snap of a finger. This simply isn’t the case. You communicate, you schedule and complete a consultation, you become invested and take time to create a quote for your potential client and still, in the end they may not be able to afford you. This can be avoided if they go into the consult already having an idea of cost.
4️⃣Being open and honest with your pricing and paying it all out on the table will always build confidence and trust in potential clients. They’ll immediately realize that you’re so great at what you do that you have nothing to hide and want to hire you even more to be part of their wedding day dream vendor team !
In a industry that’s only been taken seriously in recent years, I think it’s important that we set the standard together and take the guesswork out of things couples and colleagues alike.
