Unveiled – Smash Hit Patent-Pending Tech-Driven Wedding Platform Goes National
NORTHEAST PA, and now ALL of the U.S.A. – This will please millions. And infuriate just as many. The former: those who'll benefit from its streamlining, headache-nixing sleek 'n' chic technology; the latter: those who had to go it alone. The IamEngaged.com wedding platform, a virtual matchmaking service for brides and wedding vendors, and a bona fide Day 1 sensation, is going national, now providing wedding without worry from coast to coast.
Sorry, Tylenol. Sorry, Tums. Here's the skinny.
The bridal platform was first launched in 2006 in Northeast Pennsylvania. And Northeast Pa liked it. A lot. It went live and quickly found family. A big family. Nearly a third of all brides in the sprawling region signed up, linked in, and got to exploring, connecting, and materializing the day they'd been planning for years.
In 2008, the platform's second version launched and partnered with 2 of the top 3 radio broadcaster in the country to bring its patent-pending technology to 2 million people in 10 media markets. Reciprocal back-scratching ensued.
Traffic to those regional sites exploded, and the minds behind IamEngaged.com (IaE) helped thousands of brides and wedding vendors connect with one another. And via anything but blind dates. Visibility and voice—ample.
Wedding vendors enjoy unlimited space for company description, plus pictures—and linked videos—as part of their listings. IaE's one-of-a-kind SEO technology continuously—and automatically—optimizes each vendor's listing so it's easily discoverable through search engines. Its proprietary advanced targeting algorithm ensures their most likely customers will always see their listing.
Its Facebook app will allow brides to use the platform and find vendors without leaving Facebook. IaE's mobile app will expand this even further. The IaE platform features complete wedding planning functionality, including calendar and budget with reminders, guest list with RSVPs and meals, messaging and notes with automatic syncing, wedding pages with pictures, videos. The system is designed to work as a whole with each part automatically tracking and adjusting according to data from other sections, providing real time knowledge—real time control.
The current and completely redesigned version of the platform was launched this year, solidifying the platform creators' place among the crème de la crème of leaders in the wedding industry.
And, more importantly, it's taking the tedium and tiresome out of wedding planning, and helping brides-to-be stay stress-free. Not to mention, it's also keeping happy their better halves, friends—and families.
You could go it alone. Ask those who have. Or, you could enjoy the process. And, a more care-free Day.
