Is your wedding business in need of a fairy godmother? Lucky for you, wedding industry virtual assistants (VAs) are on the rise and they are here to offer some extra support for your business without you having to commit to hiring a full-time employee. Having a VA on your team means you can have someone help you with specific tasks and lighten your own workload. They are a great support and can help wedding business owners find that work life balance.
What is a Virtual Assistant?
Virtual assistants are freelance employees who work remotely to support you and your business. They often specialise in specific tasks like content creation, email and diary management and copywriting. As well as specialising in certain tasks, they often also work within an industry or sector so that they have a deeper understanding of their clients needs.
Who do Wedding Industry Virtual Assistants Help?
Wedding industry virtual assistants specialise in helping wedding industry professionals. They work with wedding planners, wedding photographers and videographers, florists, caterers, mobile bars, wedding entertainers, celebrants and wedding venues. Wedding industry VAs are ideal for anyone working in weddings or the events sector.
How Can a Wedding Industry Virtual Assistant Help Your Business?
With a deeper understanding of the wedding industry than most VAs, a wedding industry VA is able to tailor their support to your business with insider wedding industry knowledge. They can help you tackle your current workload, or even allow you to accomplish the things you’d want to do, if only you had the time. Tasks that always fall to the wayside, like setting up your Pinterest, or keeping your social media schedule consistent are perfect to hand over to a VA.
Having a wedding industry virtual assistant on your team can give you someone to discuss your business with and help you plan big for the future.
What Specific Tasks Can a Wedding Industry Virtual Assistant Help With?
Wedding industry virtual assistants can specialise in a variety of services. However, the most common tasks a VA can help you with are social media management including content creation, caption writing, hashtag research and scheduling. They can also help with blog writing, copywriting, magazine article submissions, supplier research, wedding website creation, email campaigns and email marketing, video editing, aisle planner support and pinterest management to name a few.
Some wedding industry VAs might also offer wedding day assistant services and be able to help you on site at your weddings. This can be a great way for them to get some behind the scenes content for you.
What are the Benefits of a Wedding Industry Specific Virtual Assistant?
Since a wedding industry virtual assistant already understands the industry, they are able to help support your wedding business more effectively. They understand the pressures and stresses of working on a wedding, so will know what helps to take some of the pressure off your workload.
They will be up to date with industry trends and can help recommend things to keep your wedding business ahead of your competitors. They are someone you can trust to help you and your business grow and flourish. Most importantly, they are someone you can chat to about wedding details, without them ever getting bored!
