Hi Everyone,
This is the start of my 4th year as
"Bonnie's Bloomers". I just have to THANK EACH AND EVERYONE OF
YOU for being there for me in so many ways. You each are just as
personable and friendly as the first time I sat down and talked
about promoting my business with you. Through the past few years I
have tried other Bridal Magazines, and it seems like once you sign with them,
you are not as important anymore... And the number of inquiries are
not even close to those received through Today's Bride. So I just had to
tell you how much I appreciate you. I try to follow your example with my
own Brides, and it too is working!..Kindest Regards, Bonnie Wygle

Dear Jim and JJ,
I thought I would take the time out to share some exciting news with you. Uponvisiting our studio, prospective clients fill out a questionnaire which is
designed to help us determine marketing dollars. We ask the usual how did you
hear about us questions, etc. in order to ascertain where our advertising
dollars are best spent. I want to share the figures with you below.
Todays Bride Bridal Shows- We booked 26 brides from initial contact made
through your shows!
In addition, from website traffic, brides are clicking through to our website through your website 50% more of the time than with other web site ads.
I want to take the time to thank Todays Bride, the two of you and the other
staff for making this a reality. Thank you so much and please feel free to spread the word
of our success!

Today's Bride Staff are very professional. They see to all the finer details
and create a very professional environment for you to plug your business into.
I highly recommend small business owners to consider increasing your wedding

payoffs are immense. I'm here to stay!! Thanks so much for the opportunity to
be a part of such a great team.”

Dear Jim,
I
must say that your presentation yesterday was first-class. We are
definitely going to commit to Today's Bride
I also would like to tell you we had a meeting later in the day with a
representative from one of your competitors and for the price, your professional package far outweighs the competition.
I’m
sure you’ve heard all of this before, but I just wanted to share that we were
all excited after the meetings yesterday, and feel partnering with Today's Bride will
truly launch our marketing campaign and be a successful announcement of our
arrival on the map!
Thank
you for taking the time, and we’ll be in touch VERY soon.

Hi,
Rick Sostaric here from Highlights Photography. Hope everyone has had a terrific summer and hopefully some of you were able to get away for a little while for some fun. The reason I am writing is to inform you that you will no longer be able to find me on the Knot.com but instead I
have decided to partner up with Today's Bride Online and Magazine. The reasons were numerous but primarily in an effort to keep my prices reasonable and still be able to reach my target audience, you the future bride & groom, it was a no brainer. If there is anything I can do for you or your family and friends in the way of 1st class wedding and portrait photography please dont hesitate to contact me.
All the Best,
Rick Sostaric

Hi
Jim,
I just wanted to send a
quick email to compliment you guys on the new website. The site looks really
nice, and I love the way that you incorporated the magazine ad into the online
ad. I’ve already received several leads from the site. Congratulations on
another job well done! Have a great weekend!

Hi Jennifer:
I felt that I had to let you and your team know how impressed I was with yesterday's seminar. As you may know I have done a lot of bridal trade shows and honestly spent a ton of $$$ on shows. I cannot say that I have ever had the such though and well thought out prep.
I agreed to go to be a team player. I left thrilled that I had committed the time. The topics were relevant and really made me go through a mental check list as to what I need to do to make the dollars I have spent with you work full force.
Thank you for inviting Jessica and I and I look forward to these dollars spent with TB being powerful dollars in our budget.
Have a great day - Debra

Hi
Jim,
This
is Mark from Willowdale Lake.
I
have not been involved for a year or so, therefore, I’m out of the loop. The last I have
heard. They are cancelling their ads with your magazine.
I
was cleaning out my hard drive and stumbled upon this. Last fall we were asked
to give a progress report on how things were going with Today’s Bride
advertising. We kept a log for the 4 months when showing the hall to
prospective brides. This
was the result of our findings
I
think you deserve to know how effective your advertising was. These
are actual true percentages. I actually wish it wasn’t so even (90-10) but we
still have the logs that back it up.
If
you would like to use these stats for advertising purposes or to help you
anyway you see fit, go for it.
Thanks, Mark

To All,
I was out of town when I received the new issues of Today’s Bride magazine – Cleveland. I just finished reading it over and can’t tell you how pleased I am at all the new set-ups, and little tips and the whole layout. It can match any bridal magazine out there. The new size makes it
an eye catcher at the stores for brides to pick up. Congratulations on all of your work and Jeff’s ad layouts, etc.
Looking forward to your fall shows.
