June weddings have been around a long time... would you believe centuries? The month's name originated with Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage, home, hearth and childbirth, giving rise to the popularity of weddings under her temporal auspices. Our ancient ancestors believed that June weddings assured a lifetime of happiness for married couple. These days the month of June is popular mainly for the happy fact that the weather is usually favorable!
So Brace Yourself. June is Coming.
We decided to brace ourselves and all you engaged couples by launching the Andrea Brown Events website this month!
Her most frequent customer is the "destination bride," but calling Andrea Brown a mere wedding planner would be an understatement. ABE offers a sensational Savannah experience not just on the big day, but over the entire week or weekend here in our southern paradise. She takes care of every detail of your trip from airport pickup, to flower arrangements, guest seating, catering, rehearsals, and more.
Andrea is a consummate professional when it comes to complete event production, and in addition she is happy to work with other event or program planners for partial services. She will be your shadow in every detail of your wedding or event to ensure it turns out perfectly.
Here’s how satisfied customer Jantrell Williams describes her:
“Andrea Brown started out as our wedding planner, but along the way she became my aunt, best friend, maid of honor, and at times even my mom! She never told me what to do so she could gain financially from us, but instead patiently explained the budgetary impact of decisions and constant add-ons. I was able to just sit back and concentrate on becoming a wife. By the end of the event, Mrs. Brown's family had become our family. I highly recommend Andrea Brown Events for any event you and your fiance or family may need. I don’t give her 5 stars I give her 10.” - Jantrell Moultrie Williams
How did Andrea become so talented and successful? We believe one reason is her father Frank Smith's wisdom. She says the best business advice she got from him was: "Never stop dreaming. If you do, you will stop trying. You are your only competition."
We already knew Andrea was quite awesome for the unique services she provides as a wedding consultant, event planner and production specialist. But it certainly blew us away to find out that she is also an army veteran, a retired army wife, a registered dental hygienist AND… wait for it… a NASCAR driver!
Andrea Brown Events gave United WebWorks a job to do: design a website that tells her story in a crisp and elegant way. The first thing we did was to include a lot of white space and simplicity in the design to showcase the fact that Andrea knows how to take the complication and stress out of event planning. We believe it is one of the most elegant wedding planning websites out there. But we might be biased.
The second thing we did was to make the site responsive. According to a survey by Google, 48% of users said if a website didn't work well on their smartphone then it made them feel like the company didn't care about their business. This kind of adaptive ability is something we highly recommend to all of our new clients as web searches continue to migrate to handheld devices.
Take a look and you'll see that ABE's new website looks great on any size screen from smartphones to tablets to large desktop monitors.
We are so proud when any of our clients are recognized for their talent, service, and impeccable reputation. Andrea Brown Events is now a member and featured vendor of The Celebration Society, a Southeastern regional publication promoting the celebration of special events in style. ABE is also a member of the Association of Certified Professional Wedding Consultants.
Also, Andrea's company was featured in The Knot last fall and in Savannah Magazine in the May/June 2015 issue.
We love the local and national attention ABE is receiving and wish her the best, especially because she's getting even more attention online with a brand new responsive wedding planning website! Now that her internet presence has been established, it will soon be time to look at what inbound marketing can do for her business. Automated lead generation could be her next big step. A wedding planning website like hers offers numerous possibilities for successful inbound marketing campaigns, so the creative juices are definitely flowing in our office! The thought of generating leads through the website and increasing traffic with blogging is like that first morning whiff of coffee - it gets us excited and full of energy. Sorry, but we do get a little nerdy when it comes to online marketing for awesome companies.
Developing a website establishes your company's presence online. It makes you official on the world wide web, much like a wedding makes a couple official as a family. However, what truly makes a marriage successful is the love, understanding, and effort both parts put in it. And what makes a website successful is the love you put in your inbound marketing campaign to yield more sales and qualified leads. Your team at United WebWorks put together an inbound marketing kit that has it all laid out and planned for you. Put it to work and enjoy the success!
