To provide locally owned businesses with an affordable, sustainable marketing package specific to the wedding industry.

Wedding-Link offers a subscription based marketing package aimed at businesses that provide goods and services to the wedding industry. This package takes the form of newspaper advertising in local papers, direct marketing through a local Wedding-Link Celebrant, and a webpage hosted on the Wedding-Link site.

What makes Wedding-Link different to other 'Wedding Websites' is that it combines four important factors:

- Web page - an 'online brochure'

- Newspaper advertising - Regular eye catching ads in the "Engagement Section" of local newspapers helping you to reach your target market more effectively.

- Direct Marketing through the local celebrant who provides brochures with a list of local wedding-link subscribers

- Non competition rule - Your business will be the only one of it's category in the local area.*

What's in it for me?

Subscribers enjoy the low cost benefits of advertising and networking of possible clients both locally - through regional celebrants, and nationally and internationally via their internet webpages.

Background

Wedding-Link was designed to help locally owned businesses compete with their larger competitors by use of the economy of scale concept. This means better local exposure and direct marketing without the expense and hassle of managing their own web site and wedding specific marketing plans.

How it works

All administration is handled through the 'Central Administration Team' based in New Plymouth. This team is currently comprised of Mark Baker, who handles website administration and Nicky Bryan the Admin Team Leader.

A contracted 'Regional Celebrant' assists local businesses during the set up process, and provides the direct marketing link at the Regional Level by referring their clients to the local business subscribers for any goods and services they will need during their wedding preparations.

Vision Statement

To provide ongoing cost effective and flexible marketing solutions for local business.

To establish wedding-link as a dominant source of wedding specific information on the internet within New Zealand by Dec 2004

To promote and reward regional celebrants in return for establishing and maintaining their respective client bases.

To provide shareholders with a reasonable rate of return on their investment.
