Those FAQ's we feel you should pay particular
attention to are marked by a red star
WHY
SHOULD I SIGN-UP WITH THE COUNTY WEDDING
GROUP (Top
Of Page)
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 5 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.

HOW
DO I ADVERTISE ON YOUR SITES? (Top
Of Page)
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.
IF
I ADVERTISE IN MORE THAN 1 COUNTY, CAN
I HAVE A DISCOUNT? (Top
Of Page)
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.
WHAT
SHOULD I INCLUDE ON MY ENTRY? (Top
Of Page)
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.
HOW
DO YOU ADVERTISE & PROMOTE YOUR SITES? (Top
Of Page)
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)
CAN
MY ENTRY INCLUDE A LINK TO MY OWN WEBSITE? (Top
Of Page)
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 link can be added using the following
code.
Wedding
Planner Directory
County Wedding is a wedding
services directory for the whole of the UK, with
comprehensive information clearly laid out and
easily searchable. We also offer wedding advertising
for wedding vendors looking for cost effective
marketing that pays for itself many times over
throughout the year.
* 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.
IN WHAT
POSITION WILL MY ENTRY APPEAR IN YOUR DIRECTORY
PAGE?
(Top
Of Page)
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)

HOW
MUCH DOES IT COST? (Top
Of Page)
An
advert on ALL 5 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!
