Hi everyone, sorry i've been away for a while but i've been working incredibly hard on the business. As a major part of that i've finally released the first phase of my wedding services listing website.

The site lets wedding service suppliers join for free and add a full page listing about themselves together with images and text. Members can then come on and search (again, totally free) and find suppliers in their area.

The site is www.yourwedding.uk.com. Any feedback would be appreciated, and anyone who would like to join is more than welcome.

I'm busy putting the finishing touches on now then i'll start advertising it.

I probably should have put this on as a pilots log, but its a resource that people will be able to use for a long time so i thought it'd hang around longer here. It's designed to give other entrepreneurs the chance to advertise their businesses for free.

We're currently only charging a small monthly fee to add an image or to advertise on the site. If you are (for example) a florist and you want 20 images to be displayed with your listing, you'd have to pay for those images to be hosted on our site, the amount is negligible to most businesses but it will mean we be making a profit once there are a decent number of listings on the site.

Thats Great!

Cheers Paul, I've got a few people signing up already, i have no idea where from - but its great all the same.

I thought this would be the best place to start raising awareness about the site, i imagine a lot of people either know someone who can use it or would be able to use it themselves :)

sent to a couple of friends!

Great business idea. I hope you do well.

I've just sent your website URL to a couple of friends that play for a top quality barn dance band which is very popular for wedding receptions. You might want to contact other musicians who do wedding music as well.

cheers

40 Members!

Cheers Chris, I need all the help i can get advertising this site :)

Speaking of which, I thought you'd all like a little update. I've been advertising properly for about 4 days now and we already have 40 members - I thought that was pretty impressive, but I just looked at my mailing database and i have apparently sent 226 Emails so far. Is that a good return rate for 'cold calling'?

I wrote a quick script that checks each address so that I wont send the email out twice, it seems to have worked so far so i'm assuming that number is unique users.
