I like the site… thanks for the info. I have a wedding dress listed on eBay that isn’t selling. When the auction is over I think I’ll list it on OnceWed. Thanks for the tip.

Hi Roberta, what a cool service you provide with the Maven’s Creative Plan Makeover. I did want to point out that the http://mgpdirect.com/makeoverplan/ isn’t currently working. Perhaps it’ll be back soon?

Take care,
Jay

As my husband mentioned above I am a wedding planner in Las Vegas. I LOVE the idea of this site and will happily recommend it to my brides.

The big suggestion I have is that you need to have a way for the people shopping on the site to save the dresses they like. It is sooo hard to find the dress you like once you have clicked away from it.

My manager liked this site as well, she said that she wouldn’t mind looking in to advertising on it. I have all the coordinators interested in this site and the adjustment I listed above would make it even better!!!

Thanks so much for taking the time out of your day to give feedback on Once Wed. Everyone’s comments were extremely helpful and I look forward to implementing them in the next few weeks.

The email list is very important especially if you have additional products to sell to the list. Weddings happen once, or perhaps once in a while. A logical next product would be renting maternity clothing.

I worked with a large telco in the ’90s. One of the Marketing Managers had a side business renting business maternity clothing to colleagues. She told me she made more money from this side job, which she managed from her cubicle, than she did from her salary.

Well, if it’s any help for Emily, my wife is a wedding planner and is working right now and just asked me for the web address of “that site where you can buy gently used dresses” I told her about this morning.

Hopefully her exposure on here will drive her a little business.

As Roberta mentioned, the one column blog style probably isn’t going to be sufficient for their goals.

I think what’s really needed on the home page is to have the little “Find A Dress” search box in a sidebar and not 1 page deep. This is why people are here, so give em’ what they want on the landing page right up above the fold.
