CPR Promotional Check-Up - Mar 22, 2021

Finally Wed

Elizabethany at Hot 99.5 in DC is one of MANY women whose big days were delayed by COVID last year.

If you keep an eye on social media, it does all your research for you and last week three different friends with wedding-related businesses all said, basically the same thing: “It’s back. I’m getting lots of bookings.” The DJs who sidehustle doing receptions all seem to concur. A switch flipped and people are re-scheduling their events. According to my friend Jane, one of the event centers here went from vacancies to being fully booked May to 2022 in just the last couple of weeks

So…if that seems to be the vibe in your market, at the very least it’s a potential gallery contest with brides/couples posing and sharing some kind of image that reflects, “It’s on. Finally.”

Clients? Realtors. Insurance companies. Financial planners. Caterers and photographers.

Car Care Month One of the first of the virtual events last April was done by a Summit station: a Facebook Live seminar from a client where a tech showed basic things that people can do themselves to prepare for a Spring and Summer of driving trips close to home.
