If you haven’t considered building in ‘add-ons’ to your business, then it’s time to rethink your business structure. More often than not, engaged couples are in need of standard décor items for their wedding day – think candles, linens, or even boutique candy favors. By upselling these types of products, you can not only make more money, but you’ll also be saving your clients the time and effort of buying them from a brick-and-mortar store.
