Unit 5: Business & Marketing

Course Introduction

Now that you’ve mastered the techniques & skills to design a beautiful wedding or event, the next step is to make your services available to those who need it! 

Starting a small business is never easy. You will have to wear many hats and be persistent in your work ethic, following up with potential clients, marketing & social media, all the while staying competitive with the local market.  

Even though it’s not easy, it’s not impossible either! And the freedom and satisfaction of running your own business is most definitely worth the effort.

In this Unit we will review client consultations, how to promote your business & services, ensure you have the proper contracts and protections in place, how to price your services and finally how to stay up to date on wedding & event industry trends & patterns!
