How many of you advertise on

[Breezy]

weddingwire.com?
It looks like a really nice site. I am setting up my storefront now. Everything is free so why not? right?
Anyway any of you want to be on each others "vendors I know" list?

[Howard Barlow]

The few comments I've seen about them, from other photogs, have not been favorable.

One reports he was added without joining. Shows he would respond to brides' inquiries, but he would have to pay to access those brides' info. If not, they go unanswered.

Check it closely.

Thanks Howard
interesting. I have already received a lead with no cost at all, everything states it is free. now some of the other ones are not free.

I have a page on Wedding Wire and I get a about 3 inquiries per week through them when they follow the storefront to my website.

I don't participate in the whole referral thing as I figure any good lead will be responded to by dozens of photographers marketing their wares, which has a flea market kind of feel to me.

[Breezy]

Hey Carolyn
I get what you are saying.
I am just hoping it increases traffic to my site. :D And spreading the word

[Gateruner]

I am on WW and have gotten 2 referrals. One wasnt even close in budget and the other never responded back. It is free now but will not surprise me when they decide to begin selling top spots.

I have a storefront, but have yet to recieve any leads. I was like Breezy, free, so why not.

[mccls1030]

I have a storefront also and like the free part. Not many leads but did just book a wedding. The budgets listed are NOT what is in reality but what the heck - exposure by any other name is still exposure. And that's what I'm aiming for, still building things up. It is a nice site. Good support staff too because I've had problems uploading pictures and they are being very responsive about it, trying to figure it out.

I have a storefront there as well and have gotten several leads and about 3 return calls but no bookings
I got a call about upgrading, but didn't want to waste another $750 for something that I didn't feel would work
I'll keep it as long as it is free, but won't be upgrading...

[mccls1030]

Yeah, I won't be upgrading either. Not worth it. Free always beats the dollar sign.

[Breezy]

That is my thing Free is free. I won't be paying for it either.
But I have been able to network with a couple of other vendors here who are interested in working with me.
So hey that may be more leads too.
