Why Advertise on the CWD?
According to The
Wedding Report 2006, in Cook County alone, an estimated
34,970 weddings will take place in 2007 at an average
cost of $31,000. DuPage County adds another 5,160 weddings.
Will County increases that number by an additional 2,240
weddings and Lake County adds 4,540 more. But how far
does "Chicagoland" reach? Does your business
operate in Kane County? Add another 2,860. McHenry?
Another 1,260. Lake County, Indiana? 2,080. Kenosha
County, Wisconsin? 970. Further?.
Based on Cook County alone, 2006 wedding consumers
"will spend an average....
- $2,130 on Wedding attire,
- $2,703.00 on their Wedding Ceremony,
- $1,277.00 on Wedding Favors & Gifts,
- $1,314.00 on Wedding Flowers,
- $2,012.00 on Wedding Jewelry,
|
- $1,066.00 on Wedding Music,
- $3,075.00 on Wedding Photography & Video,
- $15,838.00 on their Wedding Reception,
- $936.00 on Wedding Stationery, and
- $651.00 on Wedding Transportation."
|
But how many of these consumers will spend their wedding
dollars on vendor services they found on the internet?
The Wedding Report 2006 indicates that "77%
of couples will use the Internet to help plan their
wedding." That's more than 3/4 of all marrying
couples! And here come the Echo Boomers, the technically
savvy children of the Baby Boomers, with "more
money to spend than any previous generations at their
age -- and this group is now approaching the 'marrying
age' of 27 years old." (Gourmet
Retailer Magazine).
To take advantage of this 77% of the weddings market,
brides (and grooms) need to be able to find you on
the internet ... and you WILL be seen when you advertise
with us. The Chicagoland Wedding Directory leads
the pack in Chicagoland area wedding vendor directories
because we cater specifically to the needs of
brides and grooms in the Chicagoland area. As a result
of several specialized advertising campaigns, the
CWD is top-ranked on Google™ and all other
major search engines. But don't take our word for
it...we invite you to perform your own Chicago wedding
searches and see where we rank.
As an advertiser, you can rest assured that your
ads will be seen by real potential clients
~ by brides and grooms in the Chicagoland area.
Take advantage of our top-ranked exposure in the Chicagoland
area and place your business listing with us today!
