Bridal Lead List Questions and Answers
Please refer to the following questions and answers regarding our bridal leads.
What are the Online Bride Leads?
Our sites are set up to be research tools for engaged couples and wedding planners. We are not really a lead generation service. The majority of our sites are freely and openly available to anyone who visits and we do not require brides register to see our advertisers or use our site.
However we do offer some features that require registration and this is how we obtain our bride leads. Less than 1% of the visitors to our sites register with us however we do collect hundreds of leads each month.
At the point of registration, brides can indicate whether or not they want to be contacted by wedding vendors. They also have to physically check the types of wedding vendors that they are interested in.
Only contact brides that have requested information about your type of service.
Please adhere to this rule. We are very strict with it and reserve the right to deny access to the Bride Leads to anyone who breaks this rule.
Please Discontinue Contact With Individual Leads When Asked.
Please do not continue to contact any bride or lead from this list after they have asked you not to. They may have hired someone else in your service area and may no longer need your type of service. We have had many complaints from brides regarding this practice.
Lead Selling and/or Sharing is Strictly Prohibited.
We didn't think this needed emphasis or explanation until it actually happened. These leads are the sole property of IBS Design, LLC, the publisher of this site. Selling or sharing these leads with ANYONE is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate legal action.
Please respect the National No Call List guidelines.
It is your responsibility to understand the law and to check the list prior to calling consumers. Although registration through this system indicates the registrant's willingness to receive solicitations, this type of registration does not comply with the National No Call Lists guidelines that you must have written permission to call on consumers. Plus the registrants can CHANGE this registration at any time. If you are unsure, email them or mail them and get written permission to call them.

Email Best Practices.
It is generally more effective to email each bride individually using her name rather than sending to a list. A personal email is less likely to be considered SPAM.
How do I use the Bride Lead List?
How To Use the Bride Lead List

- Select your primary business category from the list of categories on the left.

- Choose your download option.
- From the results page, right click on the .csv file that is created and select Save Target As to save the file to your hard drive.

Is it okay for me to contact the brides in the bride lead list?
You may contact the brides who are listed in your category in the online bride lead list.
Important!
Our permission based registration does not trump the National No Call List. It is up to you to check the National No Call List if you are planning to call them on the phone. Fines for calling someone on this list are steep. To be safe, we recommend emailing them first and asking if it is okay to call them.
