Question: What are the Financial Pros and Cons of Marketing to Same-Sex Couples?

Bernadette Coveney Smith - Wednesday, October 12, 2011

Question:  What are the financial benefits as well as ramifications for vendors who choose to either work with gay couples or not? 

Answer: The obvious benefit is that there's money to be made! Weddings are big business and every client - gay or straight - is money in your pocket. However, if you are very proactive and "out" about marketing to same-sex couples you run the potential risk of offending potential straight clients. You may say to yourself, "I wouldn't want that kind of straight client anyway..." but a lot of businesses can't afford that risk. There are ways to discreetly attract gay clients without your straight clients noticing or caring.
