Do you wish more of your wedding clients were badass independent brides?
Although offbeatbride.com was originally launched in 2007 as a companion to my book Offbeat Bride: Taffeta-Free Alternatives for Independent Brides, it's become the web's most popular destination for couples planning their nontraditional weddings — with 150,000 nontraditional brides visiting each month.
If you'd like to introduce your organization's products or services to these these smart, stylish, and savvy women … I invite you to join the site as an offbeat advertiser.
Offbeat ads are different
Although Offbeat Bride offers traditional text and banner ads, I pride myself on doing advertising very, very differently…
Once a week, I select an indie business to feature in an offbeat advertorial. Advertorials are more like a customized publicity campaign than an advertisement. I write a blog post about your product/service, introducing you to my readers and explaining the ways that you cater to the unique needs of nontraditional brides. While your advertorial is clearly marked as paid content, it appears with all the other editorial content on the site and remains on offbeatbride.com forever.
Advertisers usually have a few questions about how offbeat advertorials work. Read my FAQ for more background and check out some of the great success stories:
"Hot damn, my advertorial paid for itself in less than 36 hours." — NYC wedding photographer
"I STILL get brides contacting me, saying they found me through Offbeat Bride — and my advertorial was almost a year ago! Now my business supports both my husband and I, and I know I couldn't have gotten to this point without Ariel and the support of her readers." -Felted bouquet artisan
"Six months after advertising, I still get TONS of traffic from Offbeat Bride — it's so great how my ads stay up forever; I'm still getting new clients from them." -Washington DC photographer
"Offbeat Bride has gotten me the best response out of all my advertising." -Super 8 videographer
"I got 2 inquiries for weddings within 5 hours of the advertorial going up…" -Philadelphia wedding photographer

"I wasn't sure what I'd get when I chose to advertise with Offbeat Bride, but Ariel added her special touch to my write-up.

My site has even been referenced and linked to by a bunch of hip wedding sites including Wired — and they all found me through Offbeat Bride!" -Los Angeles wedding photographer
