Today is launch day the Society of Professional Wedding Vendors opens its doors to accept new members today but we are only open until 9 pm on Monday the 26th of April so you need to be quick.
In today's episode, I tell you the story of a bride named Jo. I forgot to mention in the recording she had actually requested black and white photos from the photographer but he hadn't edited the images at all. It was like he literally took the images off his memory card and put them straight on to a memory stick and that was it.
The Society is here to educate couples on why they shouldn't be looking for discounts from service providers and why they should look for the best for their budget. We also encourage our members to price themselves fairly and for-profit because though our members join the industry for the love of it, to stay in the industry we have to be making a profit, whether that's to cover your living costs, family fun money or just the costs of doing business.
Jo was very much let down by a photographer who didn't discount his service but rather did her a service to the value of what she paid which left her disappointed in her images.
I'm excited to announce this time around we have 2 levels of membership available, first is the Full Membership which is open to vendors who have completed at least 10 weddings from start to finish. Second is our Back End Membership which is open to all new vendors to the industry who want to get set up on the right foot from the beginning. Once you have completed and provided evidence of 10 weddings completed you will be able to upgrade to the Full Membership and get access to the public-facing benefits of the Society.
