More Inquiries for the Dates You Want to Book

Event work sells from a portfolio and books by the date. A couple engaged over the holidays starts touring venues in January, then adds a planner, photographer, florist, DJ and baker over the following months, often for a June or October Saturday that every other couple wants too. Corporate clients book holiday parties in late summer and product launches on a few weeks' notice. A planner in Tribeca, a florist in Williamsburg, a photographer who shoots North Shore estates and a band that plays catering halls in Queens and on Staten Island all chase those same dates.

Most clients find vendors in a handful of places: The Knot and WeddingWire listings, Instagram and Pinterest, Google, and the preferred vendor list at the venue they already booked. Prostack Media builds marketing across those channels with an inquiry process that asks for the date, guest count, venue and budget up front, so you can answer fast and spend your time on events that fit. Each month we report inquiries, consultations and signed contracts by source, including which venues send you the most work.
