Q: WHY SHOULD
I SIGN-UP WITH THE COUNTY WEDDING GROUP (Top
Of Page)
A: Quite
simply, because advertising on our site really works!
Existing subscribers confirm this in the form of
increased enquiries and bookings for their business.
Many clients have been advertising with us for many
years and tell us how effective they find their advertising.
Click Here for a small selection of genuine client comments
received.
An
entry on our 3 wedding websites also offers...
-
Great Value For Money - One low cost
annual subscription (from only £45.00!)
will pay for an advert across all three of
our wedding websites. (A small fraction of the
costs of other forms of advertising)
- Prominent Search Engine Placement -
Unlike many other Wedding Directories, we optimise
ALL pages of our sites for the very BEST search
engine placement and regularly review results and
update pages as required. As a direct result
we can be found prominently under a whole host
of wedding related search terms, and have strong
ongoing monthly visitor counts. (Some of our existing
subscribers even appear higher on the search engines
on our site than their own!!!)
- Bridal Magazine Advertising
We regularly advertise the websites in the most popular Bridal Magazines. ("For
You & Your Wedding", "Cosmo Bride" to name just a few) An
example of our quarter page advert can be seen here.
- We Give You More For Your Money!
We
believe that there are many other directories that will either just list your
companies details in a text link, or provide contact details and a small paragraph
of text to explain the service you provide. (Really not enough to represent
your company in the professional manner you would like!) By comparison, our
most popular package B entry gives you a professionally designed page with
your chosen pictures/text and the option of a reciprocal website link. Please
see the examples below.

Q: HOW DO
I ADVERTISE ON YOUR SITES? (Top
Of Page)
A: Signing up to
The County Wedding Group of websites couldn't be easier.
Firstly visit our Advertising
Packages page and decide which best
suits your requirements, (don't forget our great discounts
for multiple entries!) Once decided, just visit our online
sign-up page and send us your details.
Once
we have received your details we will contact you
with payment instructions. When payment has been
received your entry will be added to ALL THREE
of our websites. Your annual subscription period
will then begin and you will be advised of this
by email.
Q: IF
I ADVERTISE IN MORE THAN 1 COUNTY, CAN I HAVE
A DISCOUNT? (Top
Of Page)
A: Of course
you can, we have a pricing
structure that offers substantial discounts
for advertising in more than one county or service
category. Many of our existing customers have reported
that a strategy of broadening their subscriptions
to adjacent Counties, or taking advertising in
all Counties has proved a big success.
Q: WHAT SHOULD
I INCLUDE ON MY ENTRY? (Top
Of Page)
A: For a Package
A entry see
example we require you to summarise your business
in no more than 45 words. For a Package B entry see
example, you get 60 words PLUS a
whole additional page of information to promote
your business. This page provides more in-depth
details, with photos and the layout and content
can be specified by you or alternatively taken
from your website.
Package
B entries also include the option of reciprocal
website link where required. (N.B - Package A listings
do not include this option) They are also proven to
be more effective than our basic package A listings.
Q: HOW
DO YOU ADVERTISE & PROMOTE YOUR SITES? (Top
Of Page)
A: We optimise
ALL PAGES of our websites for the best possible
search engine placement and constantly monitor
the effectiveness of this, updating and re-engineering
pages where required. (We are experts in this field)
This process, although time consuming, ensures
that we maintain our prominent position on all
the major search engines and keeps our visitor
counts high.
We
regularly advertise the websites in the most popular
Bridal Magazines. ("For You & Your Wedding", "Cosmo
Bride" to name just a few) An example of our
quarter page advert can be seen
here.
We
also run a banner add campaign with an extensive
list of other wedding related sites. (www.wsn-uk.co.uk -
For example, this site has our banner visible from
all pages)
Q: CAN MY ENTRY
INCLUDE A LINK TO MY OWN WEBSITE? (Top
Of Page)
A: Yes, as
part of a Package B entry, you are entitled to
a FREE website link,
see
example. However, this must be reciprocated* and
our our website link must be in place first on
your website before this is setup. (Cut-n-paste
HTML code for our banner link can be found at HTML
banner code. Alternatively
a text website link can be added and the code for
this can be found on the following
page.
* A
direct link to your web site is available
with our Link
on County Index or Home
Page subscriptions without requiring
a link back from your web site to ours.
Q: IN WHAT POSITION
WILL MY ENTRY APPEAR IN YOUR DIRECTORY PAGE?
(Top
Of Page)
A: Companies appear in the order in which a subscriber
joins the County Wedding Group with the earliest clients
at the top. Package B entries appear before package A subscriptions and
our more expensive packages appear before package B. We
believe this is fair policy to all as it provides
added value for higher priced packages and rewards our longer standing clients for their loyalty as they benefit from a higher position on their
chosen page.
Guaranteed Placements on a page
are available at a premium rate, or
to a first subscriber to a particular package (See
Below) and are proving extremely popular
and effective marketing tools. (N.B. - So
much so that a waiting list is in operation
in certain Counties)

Q: HOW MUCH
DOES IT COST? (Top
Of Page)
A: An advert
on ALL 3 of our wedding websites starts from a
reasonable £45 per year for our basic package.
(That's just £15 per site!) Our more popular
package B entry is just £15 more at £60
per year, but this includes a whole page of additional
information to advertise your business and the
option of a reciprocal website link. (See our packages
page for further information) We also offer
some page sponsorships options for those companies
wanting a prominent position on the page they will
appear on to ensure they stand out from the crowd!
We
are not VAT registered so your payment does not
include a VAT element
We
believe we offer a good service at a competitive
price, which ensures your business finds it's target
customers. Please take a look at our package
costs for full details on all of our advertising
packages available.
