New Vendor Manager tool for couples!
October 21, 2008Now couples can create a free Wedding Map and use our new Vendor Manager tool. Throw that spreadsheet away and keep all of your venue and vendor information in one place. The Vendor Manager tool will allow couples to:
- Get budget recommendations
- Send “Information Requests” to local vendors and receive more information about their services
- Manage vendor contact and payment information
- Schedule and track vendor payments
- View budget and payment reports
- Set reminders and create To Do lists
More great tools are coming soon!
The Wedding Mapper Marketplace is Now Open!
July 25, 2008Wedding Mapper has created a one-of-a-kind advertising system that allows vendors to reach only the customers that they want at a fraction of the price that they would pay on other sites.
Most sites only allow vendors to advertise in a geographic region such as “Northern California” and will charge hundreds of dollars a month, even though most of the people that view their advertisement are not looking for services in their specific local area. Wedding Mapper allows vendors to reach customers in over 10,000 individual cities and towns around the world, allowing them to target their message only to those people that are looking for services in the specific cities and towns that they serve.
We provide vendors with statistics about each local area so that they can tell how many people will view their ad, allowing them to make informed decisions about where to advertise.
The best part is that each ad costs as little as $1 for a 2 week time period. Finally they’ll be able to reach the customers that they want, when they want, at an affordable price!
Get started by creating a free vendor account.
A Glowing Review from Sharon Naylor
June 3, 2008We are excited to share our glowing endorsement from wedding expert and author, Sharon Naylor. Sharon used Wedding Mapper for her own wedding and was so happy with the experience that she recommended us in her high profile blog http://sharonnaylorweddings.blogspot.com/search?q=WeddingMapper.com and included this endorsement in the 3rd edition of her book ‘1001 Ways to Save Money and Still Have a Dazzling Wedding’ (due out in 2009):
“As a wedding author, I’ve recommended the top websites to my readers in all of my 35 wedding books, and when it came time to planning my own wedding, I knew my groom was going to LOVE working on the wedding maps with me. We opened up WeddingMapper.com, and we had a fantastic time entering our ceremony and reception site, the hotels for our guests, our own home for the rehearsal dinner — and it was so easy and efficient, with easy sends to our friends and family, easy updates, and the very fun attraction of satellite view which we and our guests loved! WeddingMapper saved us a ton of time (and paper!), getting our locations and easy To-and-From directions to our far-flung guests in record time. I highly recommend WeddingMapper to every bride and groom! You’ll love working on this together!” — Sharon Naylor, wedding expert and author of 35 wedding books, www.sharonnaylor.net
Sharon has written 35 wedding books that can be found online at her site, www.sharonnaylor.net.
Happy Mapping!
