This is a difficult one and a question I get asked a lot by suppliers. Truth is you'd be perfectly within your rights to activate the terms of your contract under normal circumstances, but everybody agrees Coronavirus is far from normal. I can't advise what you should do, but I will let you know how I've personally handled cancellations during these awful times... I let them go. My Ts & Cs clearly state that if a couple cancels within two months of their wedding, the full fee is payable but under the cloud of Covid-19, activating this does not feel right. Couples have contacted me, devastated about their wedding and w... [read more]

URGENT UPDATE: Mobile Beat Las Vegas 24 Cancelled Live Show Cancelled; Seminars to Be Streamed Mobile Beat Las Vegas 24 (MBLV24) Has Been Cancelled... The quickly evolving coronavirus crisis has led to a critical mass of cancellations by exhibitors and pass-holders, which has made it impractical to proceed with the show as planned. We realize that, although Las Vegas has not yet seen a major direct impact from the coronavirus, an increasing number of other factors have come into play that make air travel and hosting a large gathering of people both inadvisable. The declaration of a world-wide pandemic by the World Health Organization, and the declaratio... [read more]

Before bookings became a certainty in my business, I was often distracted from achieving goals by my inbox, and I didn't even know it! I'd wake, check emails and instantly react to messages that had nothing to do with motivating engaged couples to book me, the next thing I knew, the morning was gone and sometimes part of the afternoon too! I was being bossed around by other peoples messages that were not helping me to fill the booking gaps in my calendar - can you relate to that? If you do, do you think you need to fire yourself and re-hire a more business-focused version of you?... [read more]

One musician who dramatically influenced sports betting is Kenny Rogers, with his signature "The Gambler" country hit. Don Schlitz wrote the song, and various musicians recorded it. However, Kenny Rogers is the one who brought out the tune perfectly and left a lasting mark in the lives of many since releasing it in 1978. Though Schlitz wrote the song in memory of his deceased father, it has had a considerable impact on the sports betting industry. In the song, Ken and the Gambler are on a boring train trip, playing poker, when The Gambler breaks the ice by claiming to read Kenny's face. According to the song, the expression on Kenny's face indicated that he was out of aces. The Gambler offers to give him some advice for a taste of his whiskey.  Below are the lyrics to the song "The Gambler" and their sign... [read more]

(Estimated reading time: 6 minutes, 24 seconds.) An effective influencer governing the buying decisions of your most valued couples is to offer a money-back guarantee (MBG). But of all I teach, this bold influencer meets with the most resistance. And I totally get it. I know your concerns (if you have any) because there once was a time when I resisted offering a money-back guarantee as well. Actually, that's an understatement. When I first contemplated the idea, I clenched my buttocks so tight, had I been sitting on a lump of coal it would have compressed into a diamond! But joking aside, the reason I objected was because it is an ADVANCED INFLU... [read more]

[caption id="attachment_126097" align="alignright" width="811"] Wedding Marketing Made Easy by Terry Lewis[/caption] I've been paying close attention to the language better-paying couples use to describe the suppliers they love for more than half a decade. "We changed the date of our wedding to have them." "They were exactly what we are looking for." "S/he was the only one we looked at."   When you create a signature wedding experience that gets couples fizzing with excitement the moment they discover it, price is no longer the #1 buying trigger, emotion is. Has that ever happened to yo... [read more]
