i found the show, although smaller than last year’s, in just two weeks to have generated more calls to me than any other show i’ve been in. i ’m very excited about the calls i’m getting without having to call them first and

business that will come from the show.

Valerie Gossettowner, preMier resources travel

the golden isles Magazine staff does an amazing job every year to bring together both vendors and brides at their annual bridal expo. the opportunity is one you would not want to miss. Meeting so many new people and telling them about

what you offer is always fun. face to face contact with future customers is an exciting way to foster new relationships and the bridal expo has helped my

business to continue growing for the past 5 years.

Michelle Pinellowner, island day spa

doing the golden isle bridal show “Much ado over i do” was a pleasure this year. as a vendor, it was a very smoothly run show. there was always someone available and helpful from the staff from the moment i arrived. it also was a very steady flow of brides & grooms from start to finish. feedback and bookings started the very

next day. we hope to continue doing their shows in the future.

We are also developing a strong online presence

Our website, www.goldenislesbridalshow.com, lists every vendor who partnered with us for our 2014 show, along with links to their web-sites and contact information. We will be blan-keting our own extensive network of print and online products – Coastal Illustrated, Golden Isles Magazine, The Brunswick News – with advertisements designed to build excitement and drive traffic to the bridal show website.

Ads will appear in every issue of Coastal Illustrated and Golden Isles Magazine, while

a permanent link will be placed on The Brunswick News website.

If there’s a bride in Georgia who is considering the Golden Isles as her wedding destination,

we’ll put you on her mind, and here’s how.strategyOUrMarKeTinG
