Wed Society - Franchise

What is Wed Society?

Founded in 2007, Wed Society is a fun franchise surrounded by beautiful weddings!  Wed Society is a home-based media business perfect for mothers or couples looking for the stability of our reoccurring revenue, recession resistant, fun and flexible business model.  We are not wedding planners – instead Wed Society owners feature inspirational local weddings to an audience of engaged couples.  By publishing beautiful local weddings, you help engaged couples research their perfect wedding while helping your member businesses gain exposure to potential customers.

What’s the earning potential?

In the past year, the average Wed Society market generated over $635,000 in annual revenue – more than $50,000 per month.  Working from home with little overhead, Wed Society enjoys strong profit margins.  

As the local publisher, Wed Society franchise owners engage with wedding venues, photographers, florists, bakers, and dozens of other wedding vendors to curate and feature the most inspirational weddings in their community.  These vendors become members of Wed Society and have their weddings featured to your high-value audience of engaged couples.  The average Wed Society market supports 245 paying members, meaning your revenue streams are diversified.  Generally, member companies set up automatic monthly payments and stay with Wed Society for years as you help their business gain exposure across our digital, social, and print media channels.  Plus, they love attending our exclusive, twice annual, in-person events to network with other Wed Society members and learn about the latest trends in the wedding industry.

What does support look like?

Wed Society provides robust support.  It all begins the day after you are awarded the franchise by working with a opening coach who supports you in all the steps necessary to get your business organized and ready to launch.  Training begins at home with virtual lessons, followed by a week long in person training at our Oklahoma City headquarters.  During your grand opening week we send support staff to your home market to work with you during your first week in business.  Ongoing you have a dedicated Franchise Business Coach who works with you weekly during our Profit Pathfinder coaching program for the first 6 months of business.  For the long term, annual conferences, regular training programs, recognition and rewards, and a team of 40+ people work to support your growth.  

Who makes a successful Wed Society owner?

Our owners have a sense of style and an eye for detail.  In curating the most inspirational weddings and talented vendors to feature, our owners appreciate the joy that comes from discovering and sharing the best their community has to offer.

Our local owners generally work from home, other than an occasional coffee meeting, using virtual meetings to lead the sales and marketing of their business.  While owners often come from a business development or similar background, we don’t require sales experience, and provide a robust training program.  The most successful owners are excited by the prospect of networking with other local small business owners and building a sense of community.
