I have not experienced the knot or wedding wire, but I have other Djs in my area promoting themselves then call me because they are over booked. They pay me and make money on top.
My friend finally took my advice and canceled his subscription. His listing went straight to last place 😂😂😂
Don’t forget that they increase your contract amount year after year while you don’t get anything extra, but the kicker is they don’t tell you they’re doing it. You just see an increased charge after 12 months.
Hearing you describe them joining forces sounded like the greatest villain twist of all time, actually scared me 😂
😂😂😂
I just use their free site and could care less if they cancel me. My couples are mostly all word of mouth and I'm booking two years out with 160 weddings a year. But I've also been in business for over 25 years so It's like you said being a good DJ and responding to your couples asap and not days later is the best thing you can do. Also don't sell what you can't produce! LOL they'll call me promising more weddings and I respond I can't take anymore I'm booked out, they hang up.They want startups who are hard up for business and they play on that. Great Vid Nick
My contract with WW & The Knot last year was $6k. I did not get $6k back, and they refused to let me cancel when my contract was up. I put it in writing three times, and they ran me around. I had to have my lawyer send them a letter with a lawsuit for harassment before they finally cancelled.
🤯🤯🤯
@@NickSpinelli Don't ever pay, just use it for reviews. Gen Z and younger millenials don't want to deal with the BS of every wedding vendor under the sun. So much low-hanging fruit there too.
Nick, this is the best video you've ever made lol. I've been telling brides for years that the reason I don't have an award is because I DON'T HAVE TO PAY SOMEONE TO GET HIRED! They want to charge the new vendor MORE than someone who has been with them for awhile. Every time they call me, I tell them that if they give me the same rate as my competitor, I might give it a try. They promise to call back and NEVER DO lmao.
I did a Gig some 20+ years ago for one of the owners of Gigmasters, which was bought out by the Knot and rebranded as "The Bash" for $8.5 million! The owners were probably only a couple years out of college barely pushing 30 and are probably now set for life - good business exit strategy! They were very nice and tipped well too :)
They have constantly hounded me for the last year. I switched to Facebook adds and told them to kick rocks
The code was also built with "no follow" commands where it told SEO to benefit wedding wire, but not the site that posted their code. They also do this to all of your listings too.
That’s insane!
they are yelp on ACID. Sad thing (as you mentioned) is that their main source of power comes from wedding vendors posting their own ww/knot page links on their own website (the backlink) which boosts their SEO and allows the knot/WW to rank at the top of google searches. This starts the domino effect of brides finding their site because of google searches. This is why when you search wedding DJ any city , the knot/ww ranks first no matter what.
Yo dawg thank you for this info, i got a wedding dj start up and was considering working with them! This is good shit to know
I am on Zola and they have been getting better and better every few months ! I booked a few good ones already. Its way better than the Knot Etc.
I was actually scheduled to have a call with one of their reps this week, I'm definitely having second thoughts about going through with it now. Maybe investing in SEO would just be a better decision and build my google reviews
Spend the money you would have spent on Google Ads instead.
After many years of advertising with them, I finally called it quits. Yeah I got some weddings from it, but was tired of the never ending price increases just because they could.
Their prices increase every year religiously but then again-so do mine. My ROi is keeping me there only because I invested about 6 years ago which got me to one of the top 3 in my area.
I always reevaluate every year and contemplate a divorce 🤣
Yo nick I wish you did this video last year lol. Lesson learned
They kept leaving me voicemails and telling me i can fill up my calendar for next year . They are relentless
I’m scared for your safety, Nick. The last guy that tried to expose The Knot hasn’t been heard from since.
👎🏽 the WW and The Knot. Gonna start my own! I love how you keep it 💯
The year I stopped advertising on Wedding Wire and went back to a free listing is the year that my bride's Choice Awards suddenly stopped being awarded. How ironic.
Thanks for sharing this information. I canceled my subscription and i’m getting bombarded with phone calls between all three. The Trinopoly is over for me and my business.
Duopoly.
Nick I hear you… I signed that 12 months…
But the question will YOU get a promotion deal from the new players in town?!?! 😅
Lol nooooo
Bro, you can’t get a free account anymore. My girlfriend is a Wedding Officiant and they told her she can’t have an account until she pays for 12 months first. They are only getting worse. I stopped doing business with them years ago. They are disgusting and criminal. Send you fake leads and take your money. So glad you did this!
WW and The Knot def change each year for ROI. Past 12 months, we've cleared nearly $20K in business (4x ROI). Zola and Pearl leads have been horrible so far - haven't booked ANYTHING FROM THEM as of yet. Sadly, still sticking with WW and The Knot. As a multi-op, it's still worth it to advertise for us. We rerun numbers end of each year before renewal. Single ops, just don't waste your advertising on them. You can't compete with the bigger companies.
Just finished my turn with them. Not. Worth. The. Fortune. It. Costs. Major money loser, and they tried several times to keep me paying for nothing. Now I’m going to start building this business organically. Booked one wedding in the year I was a member. So glad to be free of it!!
I run ads on both sites. It is so funny because when I don't receive leads, I call my rep and complain. Afterward, I will receive one or two leads. I lose money on these two sites. I think I booked maybe 6 weddings for the entire year.
Aww man I think I got got😮
WW or TK don't appear on Google here in Melbourne, Australia (Downunder)....Tell me more about the Farm....LOL
Haha well shit
Wish this video came out earlier , I just joined welding wire pro , the sales consultant are like fucking sharks , what they didn't tell me was to have a pro account you needed to have 5 review's. Why am I paying to get my samll businesses out there if you're going to require me to get 5 reviews thumbtack only requires 2 at minimum. Any recommendations for closing my account with wedding wire once my 12 months are over
I was a victim of this sales pitch. It was even nastier than Nick is making it. I had to take a shower after dealing with them.
Same. Sebastian Cross was my sales rep. He snickered when I told him my budget was $150/month. Then became aggressive when I was teetering between joining or not. They got me. Idiot of the year 🎉
Wow I'm really early!
The Knot & The WeddingWire are like these home warranty companies. They don't deliver on their word!
I signed up for Pearl by David’s Bridal. But they’re about to go bankrupt 😢
Not just no, hell no - never.
I had 3 friends all dj company small business owners. All advertising with wedding wire paying good money, hardly any leads, some seemed to be fake or computer generated and only when they called to cancel after the 1 year contract was up did they all see a huge bump I leads come through like magic. They tune and control the algorithms to drive leads to whomever they want. Huge waste of money.
Hey Nick , sorry I'm a day late to this but I don't mind someone out there for the money is they are also trying to make me money !
Man I stopped using both of them, do y'all get scammers because I was?
Just join what should I look out for when spoting scammer's
