Bridal Show Facts
Bridal Show Facts
An estimated 40% of all brides attend bridal shows for their planning needs
15% of all engagements occur in December and 10% of all engagements occur on Valentine's Day, making Spring bridal shows statistically higher in attendance than those that occur in the fall. Does this mean that Fall shows should be neglected? Absolutely not! It means plan your marketing materials according to the season!
It also means that shows that fall after Valentine's Day hold promise of capturing both December and February's engaged brides & grooms.
Brides make up 40% of our overall attendance.
Nearly 50% of our attendees are planning for an event 6 months or more in the future.
Nearly 30% of our attendee's event is 3-6 months away
The remaining 20% encompass attendees whose events are within 3 months from the bridal show date, or they have not yet decided on an event date.
Our Marketing Campaign
We advertise our bridal shows through a balanced marketing campaign of radio, TV, newspaper, bridal planning magazines and guides, Internet presence, direct mail, event posters, and email advertising.
Our marketing campaigns are based on research analysis of historical attendance trends and actual survey responses.

Exhibitor Spaces
All spaces include: a table, two chairs, linens, an event program listing, a website listing, which includes business name, address and phone number (active for one year), an electronic (Excel) list of all attendees, lunch, and a guest pass to our exhibitor’s reception.
Shared booths are permitted; however, shared booths may only be shared by two businesses. For clarification: a business may join the show in the Shared booth category without a “booth partner” and that business will be paired with another business (separate category).
Associate members of one company (i.e. Princess House, Pampered Chef, etc.) can exhibit in one space amongst each other, but only one person will be responsible for payment and will be listed as the booth exhibitor. To receive separate program/website listings, the associates must purchase a shared booth at the shared booth price. ($75 more)
Home-based businesses receive special savings. Please call to check availability.
Television Presence (Modesto only)
Join us on Sacramento & Company during the week prior to the show! This morning talk show is very popular with women in Modesto and will grant you and your business high visibility. This offering is very limited, as we allow only two exhibitors per segment, and only one segment per day of airing.
Radio Advertising
Get noticed on the radio with radio mention that you will be a featured vendor at the International Wedding Festival! This mention will include your business name and tagline as a commercial sponsor! Only one business per 25 commercials, so space is limited.
Event Program Advertisements
Include a full color or black and white advertisement page in the program, given to brides at registration. These handy programs will be researched through long after the show as brides & grooms make their final decisions of vendor selections. The planner area will be cherished as a useful tool to ensure use after the show!
Gift Bag Advertisements
The first 200 Brides will receive a special gift bag to hold all of their show goodies. These bags are well sorted through once the bride has left the show and has returned home. Leave a lasting, cheerful impression with a reminder of your services and your contact information by sending something home with her!
Overhead Presentation Advertisements
Our professional team will broadcast your company information via an on-screen, revolving overhead presentation that will feature your business continuously throughout the day
WedBlast!
We have contracted the services of WedBlast! an Advanced Marketing Solutions company for wedding professionals for a reduced rate. As an exhibitor you will be able to capitalize on this offer of sending your information to 1000 local brides! Emails can be sent using your new, fresh show leads after the show, or prior to the show to build that connection before they arrive.
Our special contract with WedBlast equates to a $100 savings to you, as they are waiving $100 for our exhibitors. www.wedblast.com
The Leads List of All Leads Lists
One of the things that our exhibitors rave most about after the show is the bridal leads list.
We understand that 80% of our show exhibitors could gain new clients from any of our attendees, not just the brides.
For that reason, we ask every attendee to complete a registration form. They know that by completing the form that they too will receive an opportunity to win prizes, either for themself or for the event hostess who they are in attendance with.
Our attendee lists, not only include their mailing information, but also their phone number and email address when provided.
Additionally, our lists include their role in the event (bride, groom, bridesmaid, mother of the bride, other, or in the case of a Quinceanera, the list specifies birthday girl, God-parent/sponsor, mother, etc.)
Lastly, we ask each event host or hostess to complete specific information about their upcoming event, such as number of guests, number of attendants, event budget, and event/service needs.
Now you can see why our exhibitors find our lists to be useful in reaching their specific target market.
As if that were not enough. We also show our exhibitors the marketing survey information that we obtain, which shows us (and our exhibitors) how the attendee heard about the bridal show. Exhibitors can use this information to help them decide on what advertising might work for their services or promotional events.
We want our exhibitors to have a lasting experience from the show. That means that they have all of the tools that they need to follow up with attendees who have proven that they are on the hunt for services.
We want our exhibitors to utilize the experience to make marketing decisions for their own business that will have meaningful results.
