HOW IMPORTANT IS YOUR DEPOSIT TO BOOK YOUR FAVORITE VENDOR?

Happy wedding season! Many business owners, brides and grooms are staying busy with planning their special day! Business owners are booking many consultations and possible clients are setting many consultations to narrow down their best and favorite vendors! Many clients are viewing websites and checking out the business owners prices and their work. The consultation goes great with the cake tasting, food tasting, venue walk thru, etc..... and what's next? You guessed right! Let's get into finances! Most business owners in the wedding industry will explain  the payment process before the consultation(most of the time posted on their website) and they will explain it again during the consultation. The average business owner has a non refundable deposit. This deposit secures your date and guarantees not to book another client or over book.

As a business owner it is very important for clients to realize how important it is to pay your deposit to the business owner you really want to book. The majority of business owners do not hold dates and spaces. Business owners want guarantee customers and by placing that initial deposit, it shows that the client is serious about using their services. Deposits also relieves the stress off of the client and you can mark that check off of your list of vendors you have booked. Also clients should really have the opportunity to book the vendor they really want to use. Who wants second or third choices? Budgeting and planning is very important so do your research of your favorite vendors to find out total cost and deposits. This will help you be better prepared to make the deposit during the consultation.

Happy Planning

Reflecting On 2010 As a Business Owner

As 2010 comes to a close i wanted to reflect on this year as a business owner. I'm sure many can relate to this and i hope you enjoy! Going into 2010 i was very excited! I had a great successful year in 2009 and i just knew it was going to be a repeat! Boy did i have a rude awakening! I was on a natural high from the wonderful new years party i had with an attendance of over 400 people, i was saying to myself oh this is a piece of cake! I started the year off with vol.2 of Speak Now Or Forever Hold Your Peace relationship forum.. Great crowd but of coarse i wanted my events to improve. I continued to step out the box with my other events such as the wine tastings, sex,sassy,& classy, my debut of desire desserts vol. 1 & 2, business mingles, spades tournament, and how can we forget two speed dating events! While all this was going on i continued my weekly radio show great minds think alike, book club Imaginable Minds, and continued with my catering services. Through all

How Important Is The Word Support?

In our everyday lives we use the word support for many reasons. We encourage and support ourselves and others.  In today's society technology has taken over with twitter, myspace and facebook and many people hide behind that wonderful computer screen for marketing purposes for their business or personal use.  Eventhough in society we shouldn't look for someone's approval but support really runs a long way.  Are the majority of people really there and supporting you or are they just putting together a bunch of words on social media websites to make you sound or look good and deep down inside they are not really happy for you?  There are so many so called businesses on these sites.  Please take the time to get to know someone when conducting business and creating ideas together.  There's a difference when meeting so called business owners on the web and meeting them in person. Also get to know current business owners.  Just because they are in business doesn't mean th
