  • E166: Your Most Underused Sales Tool Might Be Your Inbox

    In this episode we’re digging into the one thing that could bring you more steady bookings than Instagram ever will: your email list. The simple answer is that your inbox is an asset you’re not using enough. Katie and Roxy break down how to keep email simple, what to send, and why this matters for your bookings. They share how one florist now fills workshops and sells flowers on repeat from one set of emails, and how a photographer made 11k across a three day fair using a clean nurture plan.


    We also talk through Flodesk’s pricing change and why this is the last chance to lock in their unlimited plan. If you want to try it, here’s our link:

  • E162: It’s Not Your Prices - It’s How You’re Selling Them

    Title: It’s Not Your Prices - It’s How You’re Selling Them

    In this episode, we’re tackling one of the biggest questions in the wedding industry: “Why am I not booking, even though my work’s amazing?”


    The simple answer? It’s not your prices — it’s how you’re communicating value. Katie and Roxy dig into how to bridge the gap between what you charge and what couples feel they’re getting, so you can confidently sell without dropping your prices. They’ll share how to position your offers, handle “you’re out of our budget” conversations, and make clients see your worth before they even see the number.

    In this episode, we’re tackling the big question: How do you build a wedding business that doesn’t fall apart the moment you take a day off? The simple answer — you need the right systems, mindset, and structure to stop being the “doer” and start being the CEO.

  • E159: Boring to Booked: Why You Need the 5-P Copy Framework (Part Two)

    In part two of our copywriting mini-series, Katie and Roxy are pulling back the curtain on the 5-P Copy Framework – the structure that turns dull, practical copy into words that connect. Last week was about the science (remember the bleach brand and the credit card company?). This week is about the framework itself: what it is, why it matters, and how it could transform the way couples respond to your marketing.


    You’ll learn why couples don’t just want hours and prices, but promises and proof. You’ll hear the emotional motivators that drive bookings, the myths that keep wedding pros stuck, and the questions you should be asking yourself right now.


    If you want to stop competing on price and start writing copy that books, this episode will show you what’s possible. And if you’re serious about applying it? You need to be at Wedcon this November.

  • E158: What a Bleach Bottle Knows About Marketing (and You Don’t Yet) – Part One

    In this episode, we’re tackling the big question: why isn’t your marketing copy converting into bookings? The simple answer is that most wedding pros write for the head, not the heart. Couples don’t book because of the number of hours, images, or bouquets – they book because of how you make them feel. Katie and Roxy share insights from groundbreaking research on emotional motivators (the feelings that drive spending), what most suppliers are doing wrong, and how you can align your messaging with what couples actually care about. You’ll learn why practical details matter but emotions seal the deal, and why connected couples are 52% more valuable than satisfied ones. Plus, they reveal how this ties into The Profit Shift – a new framework they’ll be breaking down at Wedcon this November.
