Wedding planners · Email marketing

Email is for the venue, the vendor and the family in New Jersey.

Email for a wedding planner works where WhatsApp does not: proposals to families abroad, venue and vendor partnerships, and the yearly note to past clients whose cousins are getting married. GullySales builds those lists and writes the mails, with consent handled properly.

What email marketing means

Email marketing is sending planned messages to a list of past and prospective customers who have agreed to hear from you. It suits offers, updates and staying in touch with someone who is not ready to buy yet. GullySales writes and schedules these emails and tracks who opens, clicks and enquires.

For wedding planners

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Families here use WhatsApp, families abroad use mail”

    A family in Chicago wants a proposal they can open on a laptop and forward to relatives in three time zones before anybody replies.

  • “Venues and vendors are a list worth keeping”

    Resorts, halls, photographers and decorators who get asked to recommend a planner will read a short note about your recent work and free dates.

  • “Past families have cousins”

    The sister who is next, the cousin whose date is fixed. A note a year later asks the question nobody else asks.

  • “Corporate work fills the off-season by mail”

    The team that runs a wedding can run an offsite or a dealer meet, and those buyers live in an inbox all day.

What we do

What we deliver for wedding planners.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A proposal format that works in an inbox

    Planning fee, vendor estimates, payment stages and exclusions in a document a family abroad can open, read and forward without a call.

    Result: Distance stops being a reason to choose somebody local.

  2. A venue and vendor list with a reason to write

    The resorts, halls, photographers and decorators who meet couples first, kept with a note on your recent work and the dates you still have.

    Result: Recommendations keep arriving between seasons.

  3. A yearly note to past families

    A warm message around the anniversary asking after the family and about the siblings and cousins with dates ahead.

    Result: Referrals come from families who trusted you once.

  4. A campaign written for enquiries from abroad

    Mails covering remote planning, guest travel, room blocks and meeting times across zones, sent to the enquiries that came from overseas.

    Result: A family abroad gets answers in the form they prefer.

  5. An off-season corporate offer

    A short proposal for offsites, conferences and dealer meets, sent to companies and event buyers during your quiet months.

    Result: The team has work when the muhurtas stop.

  6. Consent, replies and meetings tracked

    Permission recorded, unsubscribes honoured, and opens, replies and meetings reported against the starting figures.

    Result: You can see what the list is actually worth.

How the result is measured

  • Open rate
  • Click rate
  • Enquiries from email

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

What must be in place first

What a wedding planner needs in place before it emails families, venues and vendors.

A family list from signed events
Record the couple, the parents, the city, the event type and the date. A note to a past client about a cousin's wedding only works if the record shows who recommended whom.
Consent from the contract
Add a line to the planning agreement that the family agrees to hear from you by email and WhatsApp after the event. Note the date. A phone number saved for logistics is not permission.
Photographs with permission
Use photos of a family's wedding only with their agreement, and check that guests are not shown. Many families are private, and consent should be in writing.
A proposal that survives forwarding
Write the scope, the budget range, the vendors included and the advance terms on one document a parent abroad can read. Avoid heavy attachments.
A venue and vendor list with a reason
Add venue managers, photographers, caterers and decorators you have worked with. Note the last event together and what you sent them. A mail that says 'we are still available' is ignored.
A sender with a face and an opt-out
Send from the planner's name on your domain with a studio address. Keep a clear unsubscribe and respect a family that asks not to be contacted.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have no list of venue managers or past families, so there is nobody yet to write to.
  • Every one of your couples contacts you through WhatsApp only, and you have no addresses on file.
  • You have no one to read and answer replies from venues and families abroad, so the mail would go out and meet silence.

How it works

How the email marketing work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Understand your list

    We review who is on the list, how they got there, what they agreed to, and how long since they last heard from you.

  2. 2

    Audit past sends

    We read past campaign reports, your sending domain settings and any spam complaints to see what has and has not worked.

  3. 3

    Segment and plan

    The list is split into groups and a sending calendar is agreed, with a rule for unsubscribes and quiet addresses.

  4. 4

    Write and set up

    Emails are written, checked and scheduled in your email tool. Welcome and nurture emails are set to send on a trigger where that fits.

  5. 5

    Measure and adjust

    We read clicks, replies, enquiries and complaints by segment, and change subject lines, timing and content to match.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Do Indian families even read email?
The couple rarely. The father often does, and a family abroad almost always does, because a proposal has to be forwarded and discussed across households. Use WhatsApp for speed and mail for anything read twice.
How do we keep venues recommending us?
Write four or five times a year with something real: a wedding you ran at their property, the dates you still have free, a change in your team. Planners who appear only when they need a date get recommended last.
Should we email a couple's parents or only the couple?
Ask the couple who the decision makers are and record their addresses with consent. Send the proposal to both, and keep the budget conversation in writing. A copy to a parent abroad is useful. Never add anyone to a list without being told.
What do we say to a venue manager we have worked with?
Name the event you did together, say what dates and guest sizes you can bring next season, and ask whether they have a hold policy you should know. Offer something real, such as a site-visit schedule. Keep it short and personal.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
