The 5 Hottest Apps & Programs to Optimize Your Wedding Business
Wedding pros simultaneously juggle various events, couples, and vendors, making it challenging to stay organized and on top of every deadline. The solution? Utilizing a handful of apps and programs to optimize your workflows.
If you’re not a tech wizard, don’t run! There are plenty of platforms that are easy to use and implement. Here’s a list of five of our favorite apps and programs to help you run your business like a well-oiled machine.
Quickbooks
Though finances aren’t the most exciting aspect of entrepreneurship, Quickbooks is a user-friendly option for those who want to stay on top of their revenue. This accounting software allows you to send invoices, generate spending reports, and manage your cash flow. Plus, it comes with free unlimited support, making it easy to resolve any issues that arise. Event pros can also use Quickbooks to track time if they want to examine their processes or pay team members by the hour.
Rock Paper Coin
A unique platform, Rock Paper Coin was explicitly designed for event professionals. This low-fee software allows you to send contracts, payment reminders, and store documents. It’s great for entrepreneurs who need to collaborate with additional vendors, viewing and approving items at the click of a button instead of going back and forth over email. Rock Paper Coin is an excellent platform if you’re looking to streamline your wedding business.
Doodle
Most event pros are familiar with scheduling meeting after meeting. However, Doodle is great for organizations that aim to collaborate, allowing all team members to schedule appointments and coordinate their schedules. An added bonus, Doodle also features group polls, so your team can stop playing tag on Slack and instead get immediate answers. This platform also integrates with popular scheduling apps such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams, so you can quickly adapt it to your current workflows.
Tailwind
What was once a scheduling tool for Pinterest, Tailwind now works for Instagram, Pinterest, and email marketing. With real-world post ideas, Tailwind users have inspiration at their fingertips. You can design graphics and branded images with one click and use Tailwind’s SmartSchedule to post when your audience is most likely to engage with your content. And with automated publishing, you’ll spend less time on your marketing and more time providing a stellar client experience.
Evernote
Note-takers and list-makers, this one’s for you! Evernote, a note-taking and task management application, allows event pros to create lists with due dates and reminders, so nothing falls off your radar. Users can also take advantage of the platform’s web clipper to save links to revisit later. Plus, they can add photos and files to their to-do list, giving you peace of mind knowing you won’t forget something as your schedule fills up again.
