Why be a member?

It is hard enough running your business in the current climate, never mind promoting it. The rise in the last few years of websites devoted to saving money has shown the public have a real appetite for cost cutting. The Martin Lewis website http://www.moneysavingexpert.com targets the middle class and is currently one of the biggest sites on the internet, people are not ashamed to look for bargains. Weddings however are a little different, it is the most special and precious day you can have and asking for discounts can be a touchy subject. If, however they visit this website and see that you offer a 5% discount or free bridesmaids car or 50% off Shoes when bought with a dress, they know this is the deal they get when they walk in and show the Maritus Card. It takes away the embarrasment!

What do you get?

Firstly, we don't ask you to sign up for two years, not even a year! We only ask for a month at a time and the first three months are free for the first 100 to sign up! We are launching throughout 2010. If it doesn't work for you in the first three months then you can cancel without ever paying. No commitment whatsoever! We won't even send you a Direct Debit mandate until you confirm you wish to proceed. Even better, until we are happy that there are enough cardholders in your area, we won't contact you about payment! Only then will we ask you to start paying.

In this time you will get a listing in the directory for your catagory, in your area, and incidentally, we don't split the area's into counties like Lancashire or cheshire, you get the whole of the north west or south west or whichever area you are in! You will get a page all about your business with all of your contact details plus a contact form which will put the customers question straight into your inbox. We won't send you details of people who don't want you to contact them!

What else?

We will supply point of sale in the form of window stickers informing people you accept the Maritus Card and as the card is free to the end user there will be plenty of takers. When a bride or groom or parent signs up for the card they give us their details, including when they are getting married and what they have already arranged and crucially, what they haven't yet arranged. This information will be matched with our members and distributed accordingly. So if a bride has her venue and dress but doesn't yet have a car, DJ or photographer then we send their information to the nearest three photographers, DJ's and Car company.

What we won't do is send you a hundred rubbish leads farmed from a day at a wedding fayre which you then need to spend days trying to contact only to be told they have already been sorted.

More?

We are experts at internet marketing. We have spent the last ten years building and maintaining one of the largest most successful niche comedy websites with nearly two million visitors and we were employed to successfully launch a wedding car company. We understand pence per click campaigns, do you want to spend £2-£5 per click just to get a visitor to your website? Let us do all of the new media stuff such as twitter, facebook and other emerging media whilst you get the benefits.

Anything else?

Oh yes, we distribute the card. We have thousands of Maritus cards ready for circulation. We will do Wedding Fayres ,we will advertise in the big media magazines, we will be involving register offices and churches but there is a quicker more targeted way. Let us get you the results!

So how much?

How much are you currently paying and will you do it again next year? Are you paying £250 to have a listing in Lancashire and £250 to have a cheshire listing? Do you know which of your customers come from the listing? Has it paid for itself or has it made you money? Is the site aimed at a national audience? People travel a fair bit these days! Internet dating is huge nowadays which means weddings can be two hundred miles away from one set of parents!

Every penny you spend on advertising is a penny less you can offer in savings to your customers and every minute spent promoting your site is a minute less you can spend with your customers giving them the great service they expect.

As we launch fully in March 2010 we are offering three months free to the first 100 sign ups as an introductary offer, a chance for you to get in first and help us grow. Once the three months are up and you can see how it is working for you we charge £10 per month. A simple Direct Debit which can be cancelled at any time. No long term sign up, one month at a time.

What have you got to lose?

Start by deciding what your offer is going to be. It may be a small discount or a large discount, a time limited offer or maybe a buy one get one free or half price? You may offer something a bit more personalised? A photographer could offer a free upgrade to a better album for instance?

Once you have decided on your saving, complete this form below and we will be in touch to do the rest. You can be up and running in a couple of days!

If you have any questions you can contact our Senior partner Jason Kenny on 07801 992359 during office hours and he will be glad to help you further.
