A Year of Blog Post Ideas for Wedding Planners

by Danielle Andrews, President and Co-Founder of The Wedding Planners Institute of Canada Inc.

Blogging is a wonderful way for Wedding Professionals to grow their businesses. Having a Blog on your website increases your SEO (Search Engine Optimization) by consistently updating the content on your site. A blog also allows you to showcase your wedding expertise and gives your clients insight into your style and personality.

The most important tip I can give to you about Blogging is: be consistent! If you start a Blog and do not update it regularly, your readers (and potential clients) may assume you do not follow-through with things, you do not care about your business, or are just too busy to take on anything else. Posting twice a week, every week, is consistent and manageable.

Coming up with content for your Blog can be daunting, but here is the good news, you don’t have to write huge, crazy, intricate articles.

KISS – Keep It Simple Silly! The average reader loses interest after 400 words, so focus on quality over quantity.
