Show notes

Do you actually want more of the business you've already got?In this episode, Katie talks about why "fully booked" has become such a status symbol in the wedding industry, even though it tells us very little about how profitable, stable or enjoyable a business actually is.We look at the difference between turnover and what you're actually left with, why doing fewer weddings can sometimes create a stronger business, and how to use what you've learned during this wedding season to make better decisions about next year.Katie also talks about why enquiry numbers and Instagram followers can give you a false sense of how well your marketing is working. If you've had 30 enquiries, what happened to them? If Instagram disappeared tomorrow, would you still know where your next booking was coming from?And with engagement season getting closer, we talk about why September is such an important time to fix the gaps in your business, rather than waiting until couples are already searching and enquiring.Why being fully booked doesn't necessarily mean you've built a profitable wedding businessThe hidden cost of taking on more weddings when your pricing or structure isn't workingWhy fewer, better bookings could be more valuable than a packed diaryWhat this summer's weddings can teach you about the business you want next yearWhy enquiry numbers don't matter if you're not tracking what happens afterwardsThe question to ask if Instagram disappeared tomorrowWhy September is the time to prepare your wedding business for engagement seasonHow to make sure more enquiries actually lead to more bookingsOn 29th September, Katie is hosting a free masterclass for wedding business owners who want to get their business into the strongest possible position before engagement season.We'll look at where your bookings are being won and lost, whether your marketing is attracting the right couples, what happens after somebody enquires, and where to focus your attention now so you're not trying to fix everything once engagement season has already started.Register for the masterclass:https://masterclass.wedproceo.com/booking-genius WedPro Studio has been built specifically for wedding businesses, combining AI with real wedding industry sales, marketing and business strategy.Inside you'll find WedPro Sales, Content, Nurture, email writing, terms and your own Business Brain, which learns about your business, brand, clients and voice so the help you get becomes specific to your business rather than generic.It's there to help you create better marketing, respond to enquiries, follow up couples who've gone quiet, write email sequences and make more confident business decisions without spending hours staring at a blank screen.Take a look at WedPro Studio:https://www.wedprostudio.comIf you enjoyed this episode, follow The WedPro Podcast so you don't miss the next one, and send this episode to a wedding business friend who needs to hear it.Episode HighlightsGet ready for engagement seasonTry WedPro Studio
