Hello there, darling!
Welcome to Le Blog. I am so happy you’re here. If you’re reading this, you’re in the right spot to elevate your creative wedding business! If you ask me, that calls for some champagne. So pour yourself a glass and read on!
What is the difference between Honeybook and Dubsado? And which one is right for me?
These are two very important questions, questions that I get asked more than any. other. question… and I promise that this blog post will answer them. But first, we need to establish what Honeybook and Dubsado are.
Honeybook and Dubsado are different brands of Client Relationship Management software (CRM) They help you manage your communication with clients, organize emails, invoices, contracts, questionnaires, scheduling, and more.
In short, CRMs make your life ten times easier. When you use one effectively, it can save you hours each week.
And darling, if you want to succeed in the wedding industry AND keep your sanity, you need a CRM. It’s a non-negotiable.
As you know, working in the wedding industry requires attention to detail, personalized service, timely communication, and high-level organization. If you send off a late, messy, or impersonal response to a lead, you’ll probably lose the booking. If you miss a consultation call because you wrote it down on a sticky note 2 weeks ago and forgot, you’ll definitely lose the booking.
And here, we’re all about avoiding those types of moments and, instead, connecting with – and keeping – those dream clients.
Ready to streamline your client communication and stop stressing about taking that week off for a dream trip to Italy next year?
Investing in a CRM will save you countless hours in your week, and help you bring your energy levels back up to normal. Instead of spending your Sunday checking your email, let your CRM handle it while you go out for brunch with the girls! Instead of keeping your laptop open during family movie night to figure out late payments, shut it down and snuggle in (your CRM will track those late payment people down for you!).
How?
Because you know that your CRM will take care of your clients while you enjoy your time off.
Honeybook and Dubsado are the two brands of choice when it comes to CRMs for wedding professionals. Everyone has their hot take about which one is better, but the truth is, they’re designed for businesses at very different stages!
