Vendor Growth Guide

Proven ways to get more bookings and grow your wedding business in South Africa.

1. Win the click with your profile

  • Lead with your 6–8 best photos — real weddings beat stock every time
  • Write a clear first line: what you do, where, and who you're for
  • List your service areas and starting prices so couples self-qualify
  • Add verified reviews and a short 'about you' to build trust

2. Price with confidence

  • Publish a starting-from price — hiding it loses ready-to-book couples
  • Offer 3 clear packages (good / better / best) to anchor value
  • Name what's included and what's extra to avoid back-and-forth
  • Review pricing seasonally — peak dates can carry a premium

3. Convert leads fast

  • Reply within an hour — speed is the #1 predictor of booking
  • Answer the question they asked, then suggest a call or viewing
  • Use a saved reply template, then personalise the first line
  • Follow up twice: after 2 days, then after a week, then let it rest

4. Turn happy couples into more bookings

  • Ask for a review the week after the wedding, while it's fresh
  • Request permission to share their photos and tag them
  • Offer a small referral thank-you to past couples
  • Feature real weddings — couples book what they can picture

5. Show up where couples look

  • Post consistently — a simple weekly rhythm beats sporadic bursts
  • Show behind-the-scenes and finished results, not just promos
  • Keep your WDDNG listing and socials in sync
  • Collect enquiries into one place so nothing slips
