So, why do I pose the question? I don't want you to be disappointed. Here's why.
When we surveyed wedding cake designers across the USA (through WeddingCake.org) to see if they were involved with at least one bridal show per year in their trade area, 80% said no!
This means you won’t see or meet 80% of the Omaha wedding cake designers at any shows.
Let me give you a
little inside scoop about bridal shows. The
smallest Omaha wedding cake bakers or the ones whose sales are slacking the most are usually the
ones you’ll find at smaller bridal shows.
Why? For two reasons; first, they
don’t have a way for most brides to find them. Many of them work out of their
homes, a shared catering facility, or small shop.
A bridal show brings you to them. They cannot afford to pay $1000 or
more a month for yellow page advertising, advertising in local bridal magazines, local Internet sites or PPC with Google, Yahoo or Bing.
Larger Omaha wedding cake bakeries typically represent themselves at larger or major bridal shows.
Their strategy
for being in larger shows is to “brand” themselves.They don’t get
that kind of “bang-for-their-buck” at
smaller intimate shows.
They want you to remember them when it is time
to start shopping for your wedding cake. They know it is hard to sell you at a
bridal show, so they try to entice you to come in and visit with a wedding cake
consultant at your leisure.
As I stated at the beginning, I don't want you to be disappointed over the amount of wedding cake designers you'll meet at the bridal shows. So, now you know, you’ll have to combine this method with other search methods to seek
for a more diverse selection of Omaha wedding cake designers.
Please share your experiences with any wedding cake designers you met at one of the bridal shows.
