Thanks for wanting to be a part of the Arkansas Wedding Collection – each of our listed vendors have gone through an application process to keep our list updated with only the best-of-the-best in Arkansas. We only offer 25 listings per category – this is to help our viewers make decisions without being overwhelmed by choices, and to allow our vendors the best opportunity to be seen.
Benefits of Joining
By having your brand listed on our website, you are strengthening your brand. While other directories list you with any competitor, ours only lists you among the best.
Aside from strengthening your brand through brand alignment, our vendors get additional benefits such as:
Concierge Client Handoff
Every contact that reaches out through Arkansas Wedding Collection will send a follow up message to get more information on your behalf. This means less time spent qualifying couples, and more time booking them.
Off-Page SEO
Your vendor profile is the first point in SEO – but this is a directory. By Google standards, the website listed on your profile is listed as “noindex” – meaning this link sometimes works for SEO, and sometimes does nothing at all. This is standard for all listing sites. The real benefit comes in blog submissions.
All vendors have access to a blog submission tool that helps them outline a blog post in their own words. Then, after submitting, our team will style the post for submission as well as list images from the provided gallery. You and involved vendors will receive backlinks to your website – links that actually help your SEO.
Utilize Our SEO
Each week, we’re dropping new articles to help improve our own website presence. On our pages, we drop relevant tools to drive readers to our vendor listing pages – from interactive quizzes to backlinks.
We receive approximately 1000-1500 organic searches each month and are continuing to grow this traffic. Between our own content marketing strategy and your blog submissions, this will continue to grow.
Growth Strategy
We will take 5% of the revenue earned from Arkansas Wedding Collection to spend towards Google Adwords and Facebook marketing. The more this site grows, the more we will pour into advertising.
This will be in conjunction with our SEO strategy to help you, and Arkansas Wedding Collection, grow their brand awareness.
Cost
There is a $35 monthly cost that is due each month at the time of your application approval. Our reason this is not a free listing is simple – we have a small team helping cull through applications and managing the vendor listings, as well as the blog. 5% of all revenue also goes towards our growth strategy – meaning the more we grow, the more visibility to your brand grows.
Cancellation
You are billed by the month to be a part of Arkansas Wedding Collection. Vendor listings can be cancelled with 30 days notice and you will be removed from the listing. However, we will reach out to our waiting list to fill your spot. Once all listings are filled, you will be removed from the list and you will need to reapply to be considered to be listed on Arkansas Wedding Collection again.
