My business has been open for a few months and I'm searching for ways to increase traffic/business as well. I have a bridal jewelry and accessories boutique website http://www.allysonjames.net I carry just about everything for the bride and bridal party (event girl) but the dress. I have a Twitter and Facebook account and am listed on a few blogs. I've placed a few ads on the Wedding Bee Classifieds that has resulted in sales any even more requests for my website. Have you found anything that works for you?

I would continue registering on other free sites to promote your business, starting a blog, attending as many bridal shows as you can

I have a blog.....not very good at keeping it updating but trying :)

I have contacted local bridal shows but unfortunately they are just way too expensive for me right now.

Keeping up with your blog is a necessity. Also, the topics that you use for your blog is very important too. Utilize Keywords that are in demand.  Use google's tool for  google adwords to look for keywords that you can write about.  Here is a free ebook that you can download on  making your site sell . It is a long read but it is fully packed with great information. Hope this would help.

There are some great resources right here on bridal tweet for vendors.  look under the vendor marketing secrets menu at the top of the page.  Connect with other vendors and trade links, likes and follows.
