I'm an aunt!!!
Alright, that's not what this post is about but it is very exciting news in our family!! My sister Rachael and her husband Ben had a little boy named Jack last Wednesday, and I can hardly think of anything else!
Well... except for two very big things that are happening this weekend! 1). Erin + Ryan's wedding and 2). The Knoxville Premier Bridal show... the main topic of this post plus there is some great news for brides at the end which you'll definitely want to stick around for even if you don't live in the Knoxville area.
To start, Dan and I don't do a ton of advertising, that's just not us. We rely mostly on word of mouth, referrals from past clients, friends and family --- so far it's worked really well for us and we know that is the best kind of advertising anyways. Like most businesses we do some Google ads, a few Facebook Ads and the one Knoxville-specific thing we've participated in since we started our business and love, is Premier Bride Magazine. They put out a local magazine twice per year and put on two bridal shows, one of which happens to be this Sunday!
For those of you who have never been, the bridal show is a really great way to meet a lot of vendors and see their samples all in one day. The show is a whirlwind so my advice is to go with a plan! Before the show you can click here and make a list of everyone you want to see. That way you can be sure to meet them & see their stuff, making the most of your time... I personally have a really great time at the show so you should go on and put Watson-Studios at the top of your list ;) (if I do say so myself!). Really, we would be honored if you stopped by our booth and said hello!
The show is this Sunday, August 8, from 11:00-4:00 at the Knoxville Convention Center. Tickets are $12 dollars at the door and $10 dollars online. I also have 5 free tickets to give away! So if you're one of the first 5 people to email me they're yours and I'll pop them in the mail asap so go on and include your addresses.
Also, we wanted to make a few little announcements because who doesn't need a little happy news to spread around from time to time?
- 1). We're having a Bridal Show special for the first time! Starting now and ending next Friday, August 13 (ooh, spooky!): Anyone who books us for a 2011 wedding (contract & deposit in) will receive an additional $250 product credit.
- 2). Winter special -- Last Feb we were so antsy to shoot a wedding and so if you are having a winter wedding please talk to us!! For the next month, until September 3, anyone who books a January or February wedding with us will receive a $600 product credit! That's huge! Help us cure our winter blahs!!
- 3). Referral program. If you are our client or one of our friends and you refer a wedding client to us, and they book us, we will give you either a $200 product credit or a $100 gift certificate to the spa or restaurant of your choice :). Sweet right?!?
Adios friends, hope to see you Sunday!
Here are some pics from the hosiptal --- Ahhhh, soooo sweet! Some captions: (left to right, top to bottom: Our brother-in-law Ben (dad) holding Baby Jack, Baby Jack, Natalie's mom holding baby Jack, Natalie's mom and sister Claire (aunt), everyone with phones :), Jan (Ben's mom), Bunnie & Natalie w/ Baby Jack, Claire, Lauren (cousin) looking at Jack through the window and Jack!
