Has anyone else been approached by a site called BridalQuotes.com??
I can't figure out how "brides" find this site and can't figure out how they send me so many "leads" each day.
I get a "lead" and often, and I mean quickly, the "requests" for a wedding photographer have disappeared as fast as I can click on the link. They've been "booked". Really? You found and booked a wedding photographer within a few hours??
And the bizarre University of Buffalo domain??
I even tried to look up the names of the photographers or vendors under the "testimonial" section and couldn't find any of them on the internet.
Testimonial from: "Judy Law" - photographer. Nada, zilch. Doesn't exist, unless she's not on the web and wants privacy.
I received a "hot" wedding photography lead a few days ago and after a few tantalizing back and forths it was then:
"50 percent down is just not what intend to pay before services are even rendered. Youre work is beautiful i wont deny that. But nowadays i do not feel comfortable taking that chance. I understand if you do not want to take this further.
Thank you,
Ashley"
Soo.....no deposit maybe? Just turn up on the day and hope the wedding is still on? Shoot the wedding, show them the pix and hope they still have money left and "like" them enough to cough up the $$??
Any insight would be most appreciated - I just can't figure out where they're getting their "leads" and how any site can show photographers booked after going live at most for a few hours to a day? I can't figure out what the scam is unless it is advertising on the site because the "bride" would have no financial incentive at this stage in the game.
