Bridal Show Ad/Showing off Bose

Aaron,
To help your ad, i will allow you to use my picture in it
Seriously,
As far as mentioning bose, go for it. I use the same method Cap said in his previous post.
there are some realities about using the bose system that ANYONE who has used them for longer than a trial can tell you:
1) Customers recognize and respect the name
2) Customers think the set up looks new, cutting edge and professional
3) Customers love the sound
4) Customers realize you didn't skimp on the equipment you purchased for their special event.
I use a Sennhieser wireless mic. I love it. If they marketed themselves like Bose does and the average consumer though Sennheiser meant top quality and expensive, but worth it....i'd throw that name around too.

How 'bout them Yankees!!???
Just tryin ' top lighten the mood here!
They were beat by the Tigers (last fall).
Hey Cap!!
Is this what you meant a few months back when you told me not to bring up BOSE on these threads or all hell would break loose? Dawg is right, the client wants a party and don't care how it is delivered as long as it shows up!...
MYSOUL,
Some marketing advise I got here from MainEvent... using pictures of happy brides and grooms in your advertising goes a heck of a lot further than pictures of yourself. I'm an ugly guy so that works twice as much for me! Have you ever considered that potential clients may have had some bad experience (however unlikely.... pause for sarcasm.....) with a BOSE product and may actually hurt your chances at closing a deal?.... Food for thought B4 you print it in your flyer/add. Good luck...

Big Don : I rest my case, sir. Nobody is right and nobody is wrong, except to accept somebody, anybody else's word what is "right" or what is "wrong".
Before rambling on about pictures in ads, when was the last time anyone scrounged through a major national bridal publication? The majority of the pictures are not Brides AND Grooms, or even partying! That's a guy thing.
Elegeant, serene, sexy, BRIDES! The dream of 20 years is now. Her day. Her time. Grooms (above their own protests), at weddings, are window dressing. So is the "party" or pictures of it.
It's HER!!!
Some of our brethern need to get in touch with their feminine side!
and I don't mean that way.

Aaron,
I have skimmed the entir thread to see if you have mention this...
My Question, Will you have the BOSE at the Bridal Show?
If so, I beleive this is where your strength will come from
It will not only be a name the Brides know,
It will have that Elegance Factor. That WOW Factor!
Again, Good job!
I have also been considering getting BOSE as an upsell for my Brides
I have personally not heard them, but again the Look of the system
alone will turn heads.

Yes indeed. I'm getting them on Tuesday. The only reason I'm doing this bridal show is I want to see how much difference it makes to have them there. I am mentioning it in the ad as well so people will see and be reminded. This will really be an opportunity to watch brides & grooms faces, listen to their questions, and put it to the test of whether or not it is an attraction.
I'm excited!
The slant runs both ways its just more popular to be onside than not.....
Aaron the ad looks great and the Bose name will definatly garner attention
I like the ad BUT as others have said, the photo of you is perhaps NOT the way to go. At least youre not like this other DJ (who's site I happened to see today)...this clown has his picture all over his website with the ULTRA CHEESEY... "Im cool and Im POINTING AT THE CAMERA" pose!! Beyond pathetic.
Keep in mind this ad is JUST for the bridal show. I designed it so Brides who meet me there will remember me later.
Otherwise, I would not use a picture of myself in advertising. lol

Between wireless mics and paying your Merrymen tribute, you're never gonna have any money man.
Aaron,
Keep the ad like it is. It is very clean and classy looking and should be effective for you.
You're KILLING me!
(actually, I'll have tons more money when it's all said and done....*fingers crossed*)
I have only done 3 Bridal Shows so I am by no means an authority, but I have booked at least 4 or 5 jobs as a result of each one I have done (Good for this area from what I hear....) . Charm their socks off and listen to their wants and desires and then let them know how you can deliver what is is they want. Be sincere without being cheesy and overbearing and they will remember you because many of the hacks out there are so busy trying to hard sell themselves that you will stick out as the guy who didn't come off like a desperate used car salesman. Having your new toys there should help as well!...
BTW, are a few thread's here about Bridal shows and Giveaways with good tips and ideas so the bride has something to remember you by. Last one we did we got two cases of wine (one Red and one White Zinfandel) and had my wife pretty up the bottles with white & silver ribbon & bows and the Brides I felt we made a "real" connection with, on top of just handing them a business card, we offered them a bottle as a congratulations on their engagement. Conveniently we also had a business card tied on a ribbon onto the neck of the bottle... I gave out 10 bottles and signed 5 of them... 1 is on the hook and I have not heard from the other 4, they probably got drunk and lost my card
, was only two weeks ago though!
