How would a wedding planner handle the H1N1 crisis?

By on October 30, 2009 in Blog

I was recently interviewed by a reporter for Metro News Today who asked how I would help manage the chaos at the H1N1 clinics. Below is an excerpt, or you can read the full article here.

“Ciara Daykin, CEO of Firefly Occasions Inc., would remedy the situation with an online form so paperwork is completed in advance. “Just like asking wedding guests for their meal choice before the wedding so the kitchen is prepared, the online form would ease lineups.”

She thinks there should be an online and offline way to make an appointment. “Then priority cases could be distinguished, just as we distinguish wedding VIPs who have special needs.”

Daykin understands planning means comfort. Just as she doesn’t want wedding guests asking the bride and groom organizational questions, she would spare the H1N1 clinic receptionist and medical staff. “I would have at least four co-ordinators at each clinic to make their way from person to person to see if they can make their experience better and answer any questions.”

She would try to reduce vaccine jitters with essential oil candles and calming music.”

I’m writing to remind you about my free teleseminar that’s happening on Monday September 28th at 2pm MST/ 4pm EST called “5 Ways to Renovate Your Wedding Planning Business and Earn More Money Without Exhaustion, Frustration and Worry.”

When I saw the economy getting funky I knew that I needed to renovate my business to prepare for the storm and I did just that and my business has continued to grow and prosper while I see many others going out of business. I count my blessings that in September alone I’ve signed not one, not two, but three… YES 3, $10,000+ wedding planning clients. And while others have been shutting their doors, I’ve been opening new ones by expanding into the Los Angeles market and we already have clients coming on board with us. I’ve doubled what I made over the entire last year except this year I’ve done it from January- September. I still have 3 more months to go!

And I want to show you the 5 steps I’ve taken to renovate my business, get back to basics and make a big impact in wedding planning.

This call is my gift to you and completely free. All you need to do is CLICK HERE to sign up and you’ll receive the call in information. But hurry, we have limited lines available for this call AND THERE IS NO RECORDING. So you need to be on this call LIVE to hear my business renovating success tips.

See you on the call!

Love,

Ciara

Everything’s Changed

By on September 18, 2009 in Blog, Ciara's Updates, Coaching, Coaching Programs

RSWP_091709_pic_oceanarmsI just wanted to give you an update on what’s going on here at Rockstar Wedding Planner.

You see… everything’s changed.

I’ve been receiving a lot of emails and phone calls about our programs. The information that I’ve been sharing with wedding planners is really working. Despite this “interesting” economy wedding planners are finding success by educating themselves about growing their business through sales, marketing and mindset. I’ve realized that I’ve been blessed with a special gift and I need to share it with as many people as possible. When wedding planners apply what I’ve been teaching them to their businesses everything changes for them. They increase their income, the amount of time they’re able to spend with their family, and their confidence. That’s why I’m making my programs and products more accessible to more wedding planners.

That’s why I want you to join me on a special free call “5 Ways to Renovate Your Wedding Planning Business and Earn More Money Without Exhaustion, Frustration and Worry” on Monday September 28th 2009 @ 2pm MST/ 4pm EST. In this call I’m going to review 5 ways you can make adjustments in your business that really work to increase your income. I know it’s tough out there and that’s why I want you to click here and join me on this special call.

I’ll see you on the call!

Love and wedding planning success,

Ciara Daykin
