Lead volume can fluctuate depending on your local market, vendor category, seasonal trends, and Storefront quality. If your Storefront is receiving fewer enquiries than expected, use the optimisation checklist below to identify areas where you could improve your Storefront and engagement with couples.
Optimisation Checklist: 5 Areas to Review
1. Profile completeness
A complete, detailed and informative Storefront helps couples understand your business and decide whether your services meet their needs.
- High-quality photos: Add crisp, professional photos that showcase your best work.
- Business description: Write a detailed, compelling description of your business, services and what makes you stand out.
- Pricing information: Include clear pricing details where available to help couples understand your offering.
- Up-to-date information: Keep your business details, capacity (if applicable) and service options accurate.
2. Collecting reviews
Reviews act as social proof and help couples build confidence in your business. When couples are actively comparing multiple vendors, a strong portfolio of feedback builds immediate trust.
- Request feedback: Encourage past wedding clients to leave reviews on your profile.
- Engage with reviewers: Respond professionally to feedback to demonstrate your commitment to customer service.
3. Responding to enquiries
Couples may contact several vendors while planning their wedding, so responding promptly can help you make a strong first impression.
- Respond promptly: Reply to new enquiries as soon as you can to capture a couple's interest while they are actively planning.
- Follow up consistently: Maintain clear communication with potential clients throughout the booking process to move enquiries to bookings.
4. Seasonality and local demand
Lead volume can naturally fluctuate throughout the calendar year. External factors that may influence enquiries include:
- Seasonal trends: Enquiry patterns may change throughout the year depending on when couples in your market plan their weddings. They may surge during peak planning months and slow down during off-peak periods.
- Local demand and competition: Local market demand and the number of competing vendors within your specific vendor category can influence enquiry volume.
5. Keeping your profile up to date
Regularly review your Storefront to ensure it reflects your current business and services.
- Refresh your photo galleries with recent work.
- Update your business description when your services change.
- Check that your business information and availability are accurate.
