To get started, you’ll need to create a website that has a clean design, with easy navigation and a clear message. Begin by brainstorming and writing down your brand values, services, and target client.

There are many different website design platforms available that have a variety of templates and features to choose from. When you are selecting a platform, make sure to look for one that is user-friendly and has a good customer support system.

2. Use social media to pre-warm leads and create a personalized experience.

Using social media to pre-warm your leads is an important part of the sales funnel. It helps potential customers get to know your brand and understand what your services are in order to make an informed decision.

A great way to do this is to create content that reflects your ideal customer and the kind of experience you offer. This could include sharing photos of real couples you’ve worked with, telling stories about your services, and showcasing the types of events you specialize in.

Utilizing reviews to illustrate the type of service you provide is an important step in the sales funnel process. It can help potential clients feel more confident in their decision to work with you, as it serves as a reassurance that you provide the service they are looking for.

For example, if you are an officiant providing a unique, personal, meaningful, and nontraditional ceremony, you can seek out reviews from previous couples that focus on the type of service you provide. These reviews should include descriptive language that speaks to the elements that make your service unique, such as the level of personalization or the effort you put into making the ceremony meaningful to the couple.

You can also use your website and social media to illustrate the type of service you provide. For example, your website should showcase the type of couples you work with and the type of design you provide.

You can also use pictures and videos of previous ceremonies to illustrate the unique elements of your service. Take advantage of social media can. Platforms like Instagram Reels, Youtube Shorts and Tiktok can be leveraged to both illustrate what type of service you provide and to feature reviews from previous clients.

Keep review posts and mentions short and to the point. Do not include the entire review. Cherry pick a few key lines from the review and highlight those. Keep the full review on Google and or your website.
