The arrival of your new baby is a special occasion. You will treasure the memory forever. Your family and friends will be eager to see your baby as soon as possible but they may not live close by.
The solution – upload a video of your new baby on YouTube and/or Facebook and share your joyful moments with those closest to you. Add photos too. Even relatives who live far away will be able to see the video and photos within minutes of uploading. Mums and dads can talk to their family and friends via the video and capture their happiness and excitement for always.
Let online video and marketing services film and photograph your special event and share it on social media sites. Being a new parent is a busy time. We can save you time by announcing the birth for you on your Facebook page with a lovingly created video, complete with a beautifully designed title page. Your baby’s name and any other text that you wish to add will be inserted using the colour and font of your choice.
The normal price for this service will be:
Film, edit, upload to Youtube and link to your Facebook page £129.
Plus up to 30 photos on the video (photos will also be supplied on CD) – add £30.
Edited film also supplied on DVD – add £30. (Further copies will be just £12 each.)
50 photos on disk – not uploaded to any social media sites. No video. £50.
This amazing price is available until 30th September 2013 so don’t miss out. Reserve your spot ASAP.
Please note: This price is for filming in the maternity ward (subject to permission) or in Cherry Hinton. Other locations (by arrangement) will be subject to travel costs.

Video newsletters attract a higher click through rate and retain viewers for longer than traditional print newsletters.
To test the difference in response rates between a basic text newsletter and a video newsletter for online marketing, why not carry out split testing? In other words, produce two email newsletters – one with text only, the other with a video link. Have a separate landing page for each and compare the results.
Rather than embed your video in your email newsletter, it’s better to upload it to YouTube and just put the link in your newsletter. This will make the video quicker to download.

Are you engaged? Then have you considered a blog to tell your family and friends about your wedding plans? With WordPress it’s easy to set up and, if you use the .com version, it’s free. Let your friends help you choose your venue or your wedding dress. You can upload photos, insert links to wedding websites and ask for comments on your blog posts.
Some WordPress themes are especially designed for wedding blogs. For example, the theme Forever has a widget called Milestone. This counts down the days to your wedding day. You can enter a title for your event (e.g. “My Wonderful Wedding”) and choose a message for that special day. There is also a guestbook template. Why not invite your guests to write messages for you? Maybe they have some funny stories about your past. Let’s hope they won’t make you blush too much!
You can customise the header with your favourite photo. Perhaps you’d like to upload your engagement photo. All you need to do is browse for the file on your computer and crop it to fit the header’s dimensions. Alternatively, if you have photo editing software, you can crop the image to the correct size before uploading. This will save space on your WordPress site.
After your wedding you can upload photos of your wedding day and your honeymoon. In this way, family and friends will see the pictures immediately. Just phone them or send them an email with a link to your blog.

Ever After is another WordPress wedding theme. Like Forever, it has a milestone widget, custom header and a guestbook template. But, whereas Forever has a sidebar as well as a column, Ever After has just one column. This is not a problem as you can use the footer to insert up to four widgets. For example, you may wish to show your recent posts here or perhaps your wedding day milestone widget. Ever After has a responsive design. This means that the pages are shown optimally on whichever devices they are viewed on. Thus they look good on tablets and mobile phones as well as desktop computers.
Go to http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/ever-after/ to see an example of this theme.
Lovebirds is a pretty WordPress wedding theme with fancy text for headings. Again, it has a guestbook template and a custom header. The custom header gives you the option of selecting the height. Like Ever After, Lovebirds has a responsive design. It has two columns and an infinite scroll. In other words, you keep scrolling down the page rather than having to go to a new page. Ever After has an infinite scroll too.
This is a link to the Lovebirds theme.
Lovebirds and Ever After are quite recent WordPress themes but no doubt they will soon become very popular with brides-to-be. If you are engaged, why not start your wedding blog today?
If you need help getting started with your wedding blog, please give me a call on 01223 514109.
