How My Business Performed During Summer of 2022
I’ve been planning destination elopements for 12–1/2 years now; I am nearing on 5,000 couples my business has married!
The experience I’ve learned from this business allows me to map out my calendar like a finely calibrated computer. I know my busiest season (fall), my least (winter), and how much I should expect for the in-between.
Not only does it help me plan out my yearly vacations and outings with my family (my October birthday hasn’t been celebrated properly in years), it allows me to bank money effectively during the busy months so I can not be too stressed during the lean ones.
Summer is our second-slowest month. Most people don’t fancy the ideas of sitting and baking under a July sun in a full wedding dress or black tuxedo. I don’t blame them – as a suit-wearer myself.
Even though I have waterproof underwear (seriously) that keeps my looking like I don’t sweat.
You can use the slow months as an opportunity to take a break from weddings altogether and focus on building up another area of your business. This is what I did this summer.
For years, I’ve been dreaming of pivoting my experience as an elopement planner into using it…
