As a Hawaii Wedding Photographer and being a Groom myself I've experienced the rigors of being in touch with vendors and receiving promotions from potential wedding businesses while get yourself ready for a wedding. While I'd to understand this lesson the hard way, I'm giving you this tip so you don't have to. One of the very most beneficial bits of advice I could share with any client is to set up a separate temporary email creator account for your wedding planning and use it to join up for staying in touch with vendors, contests at bridal expos and if you are requesting information from a possible vendor online. Having an throwaway email address that is separate from your personal email account not just keeps your entire wedding-related emails organized in one specific location but it addittionally prevents spam and spam from cluttering your personal inbox.
There are many FREE resources on the web to make use of at your disposal. Google's Gmail and Yahoo Mail just to mention a few are resources that anyone can use to subscribe for a free temp email account.
Whenever using vendors you've to consider every company you contact wants your business. And most will do anything to obtain in touch with you. One tactic many vendors will do, whether it is a marriage photographer or a marriage florist, is not give a pricelist on the website or at their Bridal expo booth. Therefore will required a possible client to get hold of them in order to gather probably the most crucial bit of information they need to come to a decision, the PRICE. I tend to consider this as a fishing technique because once you return them a contact requesting information they've got you hooked and they're trying to real you in. Consequently, Brides and Grooms fall under this trap when "shopping around" for the best deal.
Another way to limit the quantity wedding-related emails you obtain daily is once you've chose to hire a particular vendor, let the rest of the vendors know of your intentions that "you've went with an alternative vendor and are no longer need within their services." Don't be worried about hurting anyone's feelings because its just business. This, most of time, will prevent them from trying to get hold of you again in relation to servicing your wedding.
Finally, the best part of this tip is that once the marriage is all said and done, go ahead and DELETE the e-mail account. You'll never see another wedding-related email!
