What inspired you to launch your own website?
With the growing popularity of the internet, I knew to be competitive in the wedding invitation business that an online presence was a must.
When did you launch your first website, and what was it?
I first launched this website in 2006, but it took some time to write the content and add the pictures to get it fully active.
How did you decide on a name for your website?
I was looking for anything realted to Wedding Invitations and WeddingInvitation4u.com was the first available URL I found that said Wedding Invitation in the title.
What makes your website different from other, similar offerings?
We offer an online discount. It saves us money on gas prices and our time so we run an ongoing promotion for 15% off web orders.
What is your eventual goal? (To sell it, keep it for income, secure a book or other mainstream media deal?)
I plan to keep this business and grow it. I expect the Internet to help me grow the business.
How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
The more time I spend, the more money I seem to make.
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?
I would definitely invest in a good new website.
If your site got really big, really quickly, would you be able to keep up with the demand?
There are no issues with keeping up with more web orders.
What unexpected costs and headaches have you had to deal with?
Its hard doing everything I want to promote the business (such as wedding expos) because it does get pricy. I just try to make the most educated decisions in where to spend the money.
What has been your biggest challenge?
Finding the time to do everything.
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
The Internet Search Engines
How has running your website differed from your expectations?
It's been what I thought. I put a lot of time and thought into WeddingInvitation4U.com before launching it and it's really doing how I tought it would be doing so far.
How long have you run the site already, and how long will you continue to keep it up if you don't enjoy big gains in traffic, income or popularity?
I've been focusing on WeddingInviation4u.com for about 1 year now. If I don't see big gains over time I will change the way I promote the website and the other sites that I advertise it on.
What's your most successful online purchase?
Wedding Invitations are our most popular product ordered online. It's very easy because someone can order a sample of an invitation online then build their own invitation with their verse to preview. Beyond the wedding invitation, engraved accessories like champagne flutes for a bride and groom or cake servers and knives are also extremely popular.
