Wedding Consultants Can Increase Profits by Offering Products to Clients

Are you considering starting your own wedding consulting business?  Engaged couples turn to expert wedding consultants to help them manage their time, pick the best wedding accessories and provide valuable industry information such as what wedding table decorations will create the perfect ambiance for a reception.

In Australia couples get married every day. According to the most recent number released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, in 2010 there were 121,000 marriages registered. That is quite a decent number for a potential client base, but in order to compete with other consulting businesses you have to stay ahead of the game. One way to do that is to offer your clients products that can be purchased directly through you.

Offering items for your clients, like wholesale artificial flowers, is advantageous for all parties involved.

By including purchasing services as part of your consultant package, or as a separate entity on your website, this gives you the opportunity to make more money while being a one stop shop for all your clients’ wedding needs and saving them money.  In its purest form, buying wedding accessories for your clients’ at low, a wholesale price gives you the opportunity to purchase these items and resell them to your client at a higher price to make a profit. If you are making a profit, how is that helping save your clients’ money? This is a great question. The answer is simple. When you purchase items like silk flowers at a deep discount you do not have to charge your clients an exorbitant amount to realize a profit. Charging 20% more than what you paid is still a deal for them and a profit for you.

New businesses are always looking for a way to offer a product or service that distinguishes them from their competition. Wedding consulting services are no different. Being able to offer wedding accessories and wholesale artificial flowers to your clients can set you apart from other consulting firms; however, you must exercise caution to make sure this is beneficial to your bottom line. Do your homework when choosing a wholesale vendor. Here are some simple dos and don’ts:

• Do make sure you understand the return policy. You do not want to be stuck with unusable wedding accessories if the bride changes her mind about her theme at the last second. 
• Don’t forget to ask about the vendors minimum product requirements. This is very important if you are not planning on keeping an inventory. If you are offering products on a case-by-case basis, it might not be cost-effective to purchase wholesale and sell products to clients who are having smaller weddings and will, therefore, not need large quantities of items.
• Do you have to pay a membership fee to order from the wholesale vendor? What sort of proof of business is required in order to purchase items? These are important questions to know before you begin offering products to your clients.
• Do find out about shipping procedures and costs. Forgetting to include shipping in your resell price can be detrimental to your bottom line.

Ultimately, how you set yourself apart from your competition is up to you. However, offering wedding accessories to your clients can increase your profits while keeping you competitive.
