Our approach to marketing isn’t “set and forget” which means a Polka Dot Membership is best suited to support and champion those who actively strive to market their business through content. However, when you’re short on time, a beautiful Polka Dot Directory profile page is always online to show off your work. Even if your own website isn’t set up yet or is a little out of date, our directory pages are designed to give prospective couples the best insight into your business. Your directory profile page features:
- A choice of listing in either our Wedding Member Directory or Honeymoon Member Directory
- Your choice of location and category
- Up to 10 stunning gallery images (or films, you choose!)
- A crafted biography that introduces you to prospective couples
- A quick “get to know you” Q&A, to show off your personality
- Links to your website and social media profiles
- A contact form, allowing couples to directly contact you from your profile page
- Story snippets – at a glance information about your business
- Special offers – give Polka Dot readers something special!
- A virtual tour (for venues only) allowing couples to experience your space in virtual reality
- A real-time Polka Dot portfolio. Every time you’re featured on Polka Dot Wedding, we’ll add a link to your directory profile and keep it looking fresh.
