    Starting a affair is always a better thought than putting your life in the hands of someone elses affair ( ie: being an employee)….

    Making and Keeping customers is what any affair is really about…so learn the skills that make you better at doing that, and it won’t matter what disorder the economy is in.

    People always get married. Dont let the economy stop you if you have a will theres a way. GEICO or AIG ( cant remember) was started in 1931 in the Fantastic Depression and there still around today

    People are certainly cutting back their spending, but don’t let that deter you. Folks will always need help preparation their wedding no matter how terrible the economy is. Even if, be realistic about the fact that your pricing and revenue will be affected.

    The vital thing is that you differentiate yourself in a crowded market. In fact, you may be able to use the economy to your benefit. You could market yourself as a wedding planner that will save couples’ money on their wedding, It’s the spend a small to save even more principle. If you could demonstrate the mean savings by hiring you, I’d expect you’d get a lot of affair.

    If you need any help in starting your affair (affair plot, marketing, etc), please contact me and I’d be pleased to help you.

    It’s not that it’s a terrible thought to start a wedding preparation affair in a terrible economy, the problem is whether you are doing it because you need money aptly away. It takes time and referrals by word of mouth, and that’s not a touch you can cash in on the first year or so. Print up about 1,000 affair cards and start handing them out to friends, co-workers, at church and at professional meetings. When you get your first job, question the bride if any of her friends are preparation a wedding. If you can’t afford a booth at a marriage show, for a fee they will insert your affair card into every package they give to brides.
