What could becoming a UKWHA finalist do for your business?
Being shortlisted is more than attending an awards night. It puts your business in front of more than 100,000 engaged couples through our media partners’ magazines, online platforms and social media channels. It also gives you recognition you can use in your marketing and complimentary media coverage with real commercial value.
★ Receive media coverage worth an estimated £2,000 – Finalists receive complimentary coverage in Weddings & Honeymoons magazine and social media coverage across both UKWHA and Weddings & Honeymoons channels. That is tangible publicity for your business, included as part of your finalist recognition.
★ Show couples why they should choose you – In a crowded market, an official UKWHA Finalist Rosette gives prospective clients another reason to trust your work. One finalist told us that displaying the rosette on their website helped reassure couples and led to additional lucrative bookings.
★ Turn recognition into new opportunities – Share your finalist status on your website, in proposals, on social media and in your emails. It gives you a story to tell and a reason for clients, collaborators and the press to take a closer look. Finalists have already made connections through the Awards that led to shoots and other projects.
★ Build value beyond the coverage – Display your Finalist Rosette and certificate on your website, and share them across your social media channels. They show prospective clients that your business has been recognised among the UK’s elite wedding suppliers. A single new booking or valuable partnership could make your finalist status worth more than £5,000 in wider commercial value. The opportunity extends well beyond the awards night.
★ Give your team a moment to be proud of – Celebrate the work behind your success at a spectacular London gala alongside some of the best people in the wedding industry.
★ Keep using your recognition long after the gala – Finalists receive an official Finalist Rosette. Category winners receive a Gold Winner Rosette and Winners Trophy, giving them powerful credentials to display across their marketing.
The question is: what might your business miss by staying out of the spotlight?
