Andy Ebon

The presentation peels back the layers of the wedding industry: Brides, budgets (or lack thereof), selling, and the various interactions (functions and dysfunctions) of the wedding day participants (bride, groom, family, and wedding vendors).

Andy will discuss issues that most people just whisper about. His perspective comes from personal participation in close to 1000 weddings, as a DJ Entertainer, and close interaction with wedding industry businesses over three and a half decades.

His recurring theme..

“What’s in the best interest of the bride?”

… will resonant with you, long after the meeting concludes.

The presentation will be provocative, politically incorrect, and will surely give you pause.

Come to LVWN at The Platinum Hotel … invite an industry friend. Maybe two or three.

MarcPhoto3 July Las Vegas Wedding Network Meeting featuring Myths of Selling to Brides by Marc McIntosh

Marc McIntosh - The Myth of Selling to Brides

You hear lots of things in the industry press and from self-proclaimed wedding marketing “experts”. Everyone who sells advertising paints a rosy picture of the bridal market. How do you cut through the clutter to find out what REALLY matters to the bride-to-be? In this no-nonsense presentation, you will learn why selling to a bride is different than selling to any other type of customer, and discover what works and what doesn’t when selling to today’s bride. Find how to better target the bride and maximize the effectiveness of your advertising dollars. What you thought was working just might be missing the mark and costing you business.

The event will be held at Bear’s Best Golf Club at 6pm. The cost will be $35 per person until July 5th.
