ENTER THE BRIDAL BUYER AWARDS

5 Reasons to Enter The Bridal Buyer Awards

1. Read the entry criteria carefully. Before diving into the application process, take your time to read through the categories and the requirements. Ensure that your business aligns with the category description, gather your supporting materials and plan out your answers first.
2. Choose your categories wisely. One or two strong entries stand a far better chance of success than entries across every category.
3. Be as unique and specific as you can. Providing supporting statistics and powerful testimonials will help to set you apart from the rest. Whether its your innovative designs, exceptional customer service or sustainable practices, emphasize the unique aspects that differentiate you from your competitors.
4. Strike a balance. Finding that sweet spot between being concise and covering all the necessary points can be challenging, but it is crucial to your success.
5. Review and refine your entry. Ensure all information provided is accurate, and make sure to give yourself ample time to proofread and edit your entry thoroughly. A well-organised and thorough submission reflects professionalism and commitment.

Aside from being an esteemed event, the Bridal Buyer Awards also offers a fantastic networking opportunity. Even if you are unsuccessful, the connections you make within the bridal community can be invaluable for your business’ growth. Take some time to chat with your peers: you might find some gems to take back and implement within your own boutique.
