Personal branding · Creative and design

Families hand over a year of savings and one date that cannot move.

Personal branding for an event or wedding planner is the visibility of the person who will be awake at two in the morning fixing something: the scale you have handled, the venues you know, and how you deal with other people's money.

A professional shares her expertise in a recorded interview

In one paragraph

Personal branding for an event or wedding planner is the visibility of the person who will be awake at two in the morning fixing something: the scale you have handled, the venues you know, and how you deal with other people's money. GullySales writes and runs it from the hours you can spare.

Also written for

Event planner, Wedding planner, Event manager.

Where this sits

For event and wedding planners

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

  • “Every planner's reel is the same twenty seconds of decor”

    Drone over a lit mandap, slow motion entry, the couple laughing. The bride's mother comparing four planners learns nothing from it, so the family goes back to comparing quotes.

  • “The venue and the caterer send the work”

    Banquet managers, resort sales teams, caterers and photographers hand out names. They forward a link, and where yours shows only decor, you get priced as a decorator.

  • “The fear is the vendor payments, not the flowers”

    Advances to twelve vendors routed through you, a tent contractor who wants cash on the day, a caterer nobody has met. Families have heard the stories. How you handle money is worth more than another mood film.

  • “Corporate buyers need a different person entirely”

    An admin head booking a dealer meet or an annual day is buying invoices, safety, compliance and a fixed cost. That page has almost nothing in common with the wedding one.

What we do

What we deliver for event and wedding planners.

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

  1. A profile that states scale and scope

    Guest counts you handle, cities you work in, venues you have run events at, and what your fee covers and does not.

    Result: Enquiries from families whose event is actually your size.

  2. An hour after the last van leaves

    An hour of your time after a function, about what nearly went wrong and how it was covered. Everything published starts there. In a week carrying three auspicious dates that hour will not happen, and the plan is built expecting it.

    Result: A record of your judgement without writing during the season.

  3. One event followed end to end

    A single wedding or conference written from the first meeting to the settlement of vendor bills, with the family's permission and no invented figures.

    Result: A reader who understands what a planner does before the first call.

  4. The money question answered in public

    How advances are collected, who holds the vendor contracts, what a cost increase looks like, and how the final settlement is presented.

    Result: A father who stops comparing you to a quotation on WhatsApp.

  5. A page for corporate work

    Dealer meets, annual days, conferences and product launches, written for an admin or marketing head, with invoicing, safety and reporting spelled out.

    Result: Corporate enquiries that do not land in the wedding inbox.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries that name you or came through your profile
  • Searches for your name, from Search Console
  • Profile views and connection requests from your industry
  • Speaking invitations, press enquiries and podcast requests
  • Posts published against posts planned, and what held up the rest

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

How it works

How the work runs for event and wedding planners

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

    Work out whether this is even your bottleneck

    The first conversation covers how enquiries reach you today. If the company's own site is the weaker link, that comes first, and we say so.

  2. 2

    Search your own name with you

    We look at what a buyer sees today: every profile, old listing and photograph. Some of it you will want taken down, and some of it only you can take down.

  3. 3

    Agree what you will and will not say

    The subjects you know cold, the ones that belong to your clients, and the lines your regulator or association draws. Written down before anything is published.

  4. 4

    Rebuild the profiles

    The bio page, LinkedIn and the directories that matter in your field, done once and done properly.

  5. 5

    The routine

    Interview, drafts, your approval, publication. The interview is the only part that needs you, and it is the part that cannot be skipped.

  6. 6

    Hand it over

    The subject list, the drafting notes and the calendar are yours. If you would rather keep it running yourself, that is a fair outcome.

Before you hire anyone

The first thing to do yourself.

It costs nothing, and it shows what a buyer sees before they ever call you.

  1. Search your own name and your practice or business name in a private browser window, and list the first ten results.
  2. Open your profile on each major platform and check that the name, photo, description and contact details agree.
  3. Ask two people who recently chose you what they looked up first, and write down their answers.

Judge any provider

What to ask any agency or ghost-writer.

Useful whoever you choose, including us.

  • Who writes my words, and do I approve everything before it goes out?
  • Which of my own details and claims will you need to check with me before publishing?
  • What will you not write because of the rules my profession follows?
  • Whose account do the profiles and the content sit in, and what happens to them if we stop?
  • What do you count as a result, and what will you not promise?

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

GullySales builds every engagement from three pieces of sales work. This page is not one of them, but the same three steps apply to the business behind it.

  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

    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.

Tell us what you need
Season is four months. When would I do this?
We record inside the season, because that is when you have something to say, and publish through the quiet months when families are choosing. The hour still has to happen. If it will not, we will probably tell you, after the first conversation, that a quicker reply to enquiries is worth more than this.
Can I use my clients' wedding photographs?
Only with the family's written permission, and for corporate events the brand's as well. Plenty of families do not want their guests online. Where the answer is no, the event is written up without pictures and the writing does the job.
How do I stop looking like a decorator?
Stop leading with decor. You sell a schedule, a vendor list and somebody responsible when the generator fails, and none of that photographs well. Put it in words on the page and in the first reply to an enquiry.
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 what is being changed and how many of the people who matter see it. 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 the work touches, such as your profiles, your website or your accounts, and time with the people who can answer our questions.
