OC Brides Monthly

Bridal Networking Event

Connecting Brides and Wedding Professionals

through Social Tools and Bridal Events!

One of the great misconceptions about word of mouth marketing is that it’s all happening online. Social media sites are a big deal because they empower lots of people to share ideas. But that’s only a part of it—only about 20 percent of word of mouth happens online.

Each and every one of us talks to a friend or family member before we buy something. We listen to our friends before we bother going to a store or restaurant. And we don’t just ask for advice—we also make rec-ommendations about what we liked and what we hated. Word of mouth marketing can only succeed when people trust each other to talk honestly about what they like and don’t like. Join us and see this fabulous contemporary venue, try some fantastic food, network with your peers, and meet some brides.

Testimonials from the Black Gold Golf Course Event:

"I wanted to say how much I enjoyed visiting with you last night at the OC Brides event. As it was my first such event, naturally I was a bit anxious. Silly me… Everyone was so friendly. It was lots of fun (and a successful networking opportunity). Keep me on the mailing list. I want more!

Hope to see you again soon at one of the upcoming OCB events."

Sincerely,
Carol Hugh
