Wedding Industry Review Management Tips & Insights

Okay. WARNING: This pun is cheap.

Mea culpa.

But the wedding industry is definitely married to the internet.

From brides finding all their inspiration on Pinterest to grooms planning-on-the-go via mobile phone (or the other way around), it's probably safe to say the entire industry relies, 100%, on screen time.

That means consumer reviews are the key to success. No reviews? Bad reviews? Your customers will be seeing other people.

If you're working in this industry you can't afford to leave reviews up to chance. You need a strategy. A way to make sure you get the great reviews you need on a regular basis.

Fortunately, it is possible to control the review process and to make it work in your favor, no matter how much it may seem like you're at the mercy of the bridezillas and groom-o-sauruses out there.

• Jewelry
• Florists
• Caterers
• Musicians or DJs
