Words without strategy mean nothing.
This might sting, but you need to hear it: weddings aren’t rocket science. You’re not selling cars, refrigerators, or medical services. Couples don’t need to hire you to get married.
So how do you convince them you’re worth hiring?
You focus on how your services will make them feel. As a wedding pro, you’re selling an experience, peace of mind, and ease.
And making those things tangible requires a strategic argument– because even if you’re the most qualified in the room, you won’t book those “holy sh*t I love working with them” couples if you don’t show them what working with you will feel like.
Emily is so knowledgeable and the process to work with her was very streamlined! I really enjoyed hiring Emily for my website copy for multiple businesses of mine. The final deliverable exceeded my expectations and gave me more confidence on the front end of my business. I highly recommend her if you are even considering outsourcing copywriting.
The average cost of getting married increased 33.5% since 2020
Which means…The market is shifting. Is your copy cognizant of couples’ budgets?
Poor grammar or spelling in web copy or a landing page can increase the bounce rate by 85%.
Which means…Having an extra eye on your copy might be why people stay on your site.
69% of businesses are investing in SEO marketing
Which means…If they’re not finding you on Google, you basically don’t exist. (Sounds awful, but it’s true.)
Personalized calls to action (CTAs) increase conversion chances by 202%.
Which means…You need to have your brand voice nailed down, like yesterday.
Hiring Emily for my copy gave me a website that I 100% knew would help clients get to know my team and showcase our services to increase bookings
First, we’ll talk about what’s not working. Maybe you’re getting lots of traffic but no inquiries or *crickets* instead of traffic. Whatever the issue, we’ll talk about it before I put pencil to paper so your copy will address and fix it.
A goal-focused questionnaire, a 60-minute meeting, and a few hours of internet stalking later, I’ll have all the research I need to ensure I’m writing in your voice.
Time for strategy. I’ll create a plan to strategically use keywords, sales psychology, and other techniques to set up your copy to sell.
I’ll dive into your first draft, playing around with structure and tone to give you a few options to look at.
You’ll give me your feedback, and I’ll work on tweaking and tinkering until it’s all perfect.
Shiny new copy hits your inbox, ready to be uploaded by your designer, a team member, or yourself.
Three and six months after your copy is published, I’ll do a deep dive into the SEO to ensure everything is working as intended. If changes need to be made, I’ll let you know. I can’t guarantee SEO results, but checking my work is pretty damn close.
“I was in information overload and saw the copywriters I loved, but knew I couldn't afford. Then I would find companies I could afford, but I just didn't trust they could do what I needed. Emily had it all. I am not the greatest with punctuation and getting my ideas out of my head and on paper (or online). I knew I needed someone who had the right brain and could help me. I just loved Emily, to be honest. I trusted her instantly.
I love Emily’s process and how on the ball she is. I also love how much research she did for my project. I always felt confident with what she was telling me! She kept me on track too. I needed that. I just felt like I was in good hands.
Just starting out? My services are perfect for the business owner who’s been in the game for 2+ years.
For great copy to work, you HAVE to know who you are inside and out. When you’re getting your feet wet, you don’t have that understanding yet, which means your copy will be pretty generic– and hiring a copywriter would be a waste.
Instead of investing in custom copy right now, I’d start with some DIY resources
When marketing your business, the first impression can make or break that connection. As a wedding pro, YOU are your brand. If your website sounds nothing like you, you’re getting lost in the shuffle.
Anyone can work a wedding. But no one does it quite like you. Show your website visitors what you’re all about!
