Whilst some wedding suppliers may choose to participate in
various wedding awards I personally choose to invest my time focusing on
customer care & my business rather than spending hours of my valuable time
& money on trying to win awards that are meaningless.
Here’s why…..
In my experience for most wedding awards you have to pay to
enter, making them a profit making industry in their own right. This means they
are not representative of the wedding industry as a whole but only of those
that have chosen to pay to enter and are driven by profit not quality or
customer service.
There is no selection process or voting. As long as you’ve paid
your entry fee you are shortlisted for your categories. This means anyone can
get through regardless of the services they offer or how they deal with their
customers.
Once through to the finalist stages Suppliers then need votes
to win. I don’t want to be hassling past customers begging for votes and
testimonials. Most have already given me valuable testimonials in my own right
which to me are much more valuable than any award.
There are now so many different wedding awards that none
represent a truly representative cross section of wedding suppliers
Suppliers that have entered these ‘awards’ drive a lot of web
traffic to the websites of those organising the awards meaning they reap even
more profits from advertising.
Because all suppliers are finalists they then have to pay (a
lot) to attend the gala awards ceremony & dinner adding even further to the
profits of awards body
Rest assured that I pride myself on delivering absolute
customer care and a second to none service to all my clients. You can see for
