Tips - How to get the most out of SchoolyWeds.com
Wedding planners
- Request references if they are not made available and you feel this is necessary, your supplier may be able to obtain a reference from their tutor.
- Communicate well – always give clear and precise details of your expectations. This will enable your supplier to deliver a service that meets your needs, and to cost their service accurately.
Students
- Ensure your profile is as complete as possible, state if references are available, encourage clients or tutors to submit a review or rate your service. This will all help to build trust in your ability and encourage customers to approach you.
- If you don’t have a website of your own you can paste a link to your own public photo album on Facebook, Flickr etc into the website field when submitting or editing your listing. This will place a Visit Website link on your listing that visitors can access.
