House of Elliot secures an exclusive contract with America

which of course we are thrilled about. Sandy Keller is such a lovely CEO to work with and her staff are super friendly.

Negotiations started end of April early May and a substantial order was placed in preparation for their Wedding Fairs that are coming up across the various states. We wish them well with those events, we are confident that Advantage Bridal www.advantagebridal.com will do very well because of the enormous response that we ourselves have had here in the UK from America.

Advantage Bridal's on line website really is worth a look!  www.advantagebridal.com and they offer a vast selection of wedding and bridal accessories, apparel and favors. Offering the largest selection of personalized embellished bridal apparel with more options for style and color than anyone else, brides seeking a high degree of customization seek them out. They also offer all of the most popular lines of wedding accessories;  toasting flutes, cake knives, guest books and ring pillows, most of which can also be personalized or customized for the bride. A unique option is allowing the bride to use her own fabric and they can make her bridal accessories to her specifications.

They also offer over 1,000 wedding favors, and many thousands of personalized wedding invitation styles. Another unique idea from Advantage Bridal is offering custom decorated bridal shoes and flip flops. They have a great selection of personalized bridesmaid and groomsman gifts, and also carry gifts for any other gift-giving occasion. In addition to weddings, they also carry prom, evening, First Communion and birthday accessories and gifts. The new 'I Do' shoe stickers and wedding shoe decals are HOT!

They have a huge following on facebook https://www.facebook.com/#!/AdvantageBridal and offer a discount to their Facebook friends!

We are thrilled to have you on board Advantage Bridal and looking forward to hearing all the news. Our prayers are with you. May God bless all who shop with you

Shortage of Lace Wedding shoes!

Hello my lovelies

A very Happy Easter and we thank Jesus for all that he has done for us on that cross!

Had an interesting email from a Canadian bride .........

"When I first started searching for wedding shoes I couldn't believe how hard it was to find lace shoes, until clicking to your site of course.  I'm from a small city in Canada and it's just a dream to actually go to England but somehow just owning a pair of shoes from there just makes the feeling better.  I'm getting married August 17th of 2013 and these shoes will just make it all the more special!"

Isnt that an encouraging email?

This brides second choice was Alexandra McLean costing a mere $900.00 so you can share a sigh of relief when she discovered House of Elliot's hand made lace wedding shoes were fetching a mere £150.00

wedding boots and shoes - drop shipping!

Drop Shipping

Since our photo shoot, we have been incredibly busy introducing House of Elliot to 'drop shipping' something we would highly recommend. Initially we send out a blanket email  to our lovely retailers asking them if they would like to become a drop shipper or an online seller. The reason for the positive response has to be the fact that no stock has to be carried. We are currently working with ten Retailers

Information that shines a light on social Media

Some of those ten Retailers that have joined the team have opened up a shop on their facebook page. During this process, we found a Social Media Savvy  named Gemma Thompson http://socialmediaillumination.co.uk/ . We learned so much from her video tutorials which are FREE!! explaining some simple but effective ways of improving your new timeline Facebook Page.

We have agreed to meet with Gemma Friday 23rd to discuss how House of Elliot can better serve their 'drop shippers' and those who are advertising our boots/shoes through Facebook.We aim to be of great support to our stockists and drop shippers demonstrating various ways to catch the eye of the shopper. Gemma is going to put together some video trutorials which will be provided for FREE through House of Elliot.

SEO

Suffolk Newtwork invited House of Elliot along to a  SEO workshop for wedding vendors, this ever popular event was well attended and the talk given by Tony Blacker was truly impressive. Tony was intensely passionate about this subject and gave us all some pretty impressive tips. We aim to have Tony on our team at some point in the year  http://www.flosee.co.uk/

Sex Trade

Because of our affiliation with Operation Justice  http://www.xpmissions.com/cambodia_operation_justice.html We have been negotiating some air time with Revelation TV which is a Christian Television Broadcasting Channel. Their rates are affordable and Joel Conder is a very friendly approachable bloke  joel@revelationtv.com
