What's the most important thing to do in marketing? 

We will continue from last week and discuss more about marketing and copyrighting with Tayler Cusick Hollman

Tayler is the owner of TAYLRD Media + Designs, a Co-Founder of Sourced Co., Contributing Editor at WeddingPro, and the former Marketing Director at Aisle Planner. As a wedding industry marketing consultant and copywriter, she’s spent over six years working with wedding pros to help them develop the skills, strategies, and stuff they need to market their businesses and build their brands. 

When Tayler’s not talking shop, you can find her talking politics with anyone who will listen, whipping up something from scratch in her kitchen, or out riding or skiing a mountain somewhere.

Topics of Discussion:⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

- What's the most important thing to do in marketing? The answer is to speak to your ideal clients. Why is this important? It helps you cut through the noise

- How do you make sure you're doing that? The answer is a) build your customer map to know who you are talking to, b) define your brand voice to define how you are saying things, c) create a marketing strategy to define where you are going to say it

On this week’s episode, we feature a gem from the "lost episodes" and will be joined by Renee & Marc with Team Wedding Marketing

Renee and Marc are the founders of Team Wedding Marketing. We were both wedding pros (Marc owned a DJ service and Renee was a wedding planner, florist, and decorator) but we ultimately became wedding show producers (Best Wedding Showcase and Wedding Experience). Ten years ago, we met at an industry conference and eventually began collaborating on projects. We experienced the synergy and benefits of two industry peers learning from each other, and this expedited the growth of our individual brands.

Our many years in the wedding show industry gave us valuable marketing skills.  Each year, we successfully sold to thousands of engaged couples, motivating them to invest their valuable time and money to attend our events. As the world of marketing shifted from traditional advertising to digital, we evolved with it.

For the past few years, we have been laying the groundwork for a marketing agency that specifically serves the needs of wedding pros. When COVID-19 hit, large shows such as ours were no longer possible. We decided that the time was right to make our plans a reality. We like to joke that we were ‘pivoting’ before it was fashionable!

Topics of Discussion:⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

1. Do you really, really, know for sure from where your leads are REALLY coming? 

2 Do you have a working Sales Funnel, or is it a leaking Sales Colander, full of holes?
