Weddings

[Makeupgirl]

Hi, Im looking for a little advice and wondered if anyone could help me. I work in the wedding services industry and run a family business in West Yorkshire, with a team of Makeup Artists (specialising in 'Airbrush' Makeup, mainly for weddings and special Occasions etc
Obviously spring and summer keeps us extremely busy with lots of weddings, however during quieter seasons we will sometimes attend wedding fayres to boost the coming years business. A friend of mine has suggested attending a huge wedding fayre/exhibition at Elland Road Stadium in November, its pretty special as I believe its the first Gay Wedding Exhibition in Yorkshire, so hopefully it will be a huge success.
Its pretty expensive to exhibit so I just wanted a little feedback on whether having a stand there with live demos of 'airbrushing' on models would be something of interest and whether having a makeover on your wedding day would be on the list for you.
To explain; Airbrushing is extremely natural looking, so even for guys its not a case of being OTT and can just even out skin tone, cover rosacea, and generally just give a real healthy look which is great for photos due to its matt finish etc. I hope I have explained it in a positive way; If anyone would be so kind as to take a minute of their time to let me know whether they think that it may be something they would put on the list for their wedding day it would help hugely?
Thanks to all in anticipation x

Hi there.

I used to associate myself with wedding companies. I was under videography though (Mostly video editing).

Do a demo at the exhibition. It helps to showcase what your company and you can do. You can also use it as a window opportunity to introduce and market airbrushing to people who are not familiar with airbrushing.

Few months ago, a famous Japanese make up brand did a promo for their latest makeup collection in a shopping mall. They had air brushing booth, photography booth and style booth. People who purchased their makeup goodies were given one free airbrush (Each finished 'product' was uploaded to the make up brand's Facebook, if I'm not mistaken). If these customers want them in soft copy/hard copy, they have to pay extra.

Speaking of Facebook, maybe you can airbrush potential couple and ask their permission to upload their before and after photo to your company's Facebook. In return, you give them high res soft copy/hard copy of the airbrush/photography/etc.

Oh, have your company's cameraman to record the company's wedding booth at the exhibition. Interview people and ask for their opinion on your wedding company. Upload the finished/edited video on YouTube and Facebook.
