the marketing

Face to Face contact with brides is the #1 benefit of participating in a bridal show! We provide you the opportunity to make personal contact with a huge audience of motivated brides in a fun and festive atmosphere. A Bride who has met you is more likely to consider hiring your services than someone she has just found online or by phone.

In addition, we have an extensive multi-media campaign designed to capture the attention of hundreds of savvy brides! With a team of marketing experts, we have an extensive multi-media campaign that includes Radio, Online, Social Media Marketing, Press Releases, Email Campaigns, and Print advertising to reach brides that will use your products & services. Each exhibitor receives a PR & Marketing form so that our media team can utilize this information to exclusively promote your business before, during and after the show.

Plus, The Bridal Extravaganza of Atlanta is proud to partner with so many local and regional wedding publications and websites. Our relationships include The Atlantan Bride, Atlanta Weddings, The Knot, Occasions Magazine, Points North, Weddings Unveiled, WeddingWire.com, Beautiful Bride and AtlantaBridal.com. Our marketing campaigns increase show exposure bringing brides and businesses together.
