Bridal Event Customer Testimonial
Katherine and Vow Bridal Show coordinators,
I just wanted to thank you so much for allowing me to participate as a vendor in this year's bridal show. I have been in the cosmetic industry for 16 years and have participated in hundreds of bridal shows during this time. Years ago, I decided VOW was one of the two shows I will ever participate in again.I have consistently received amazing bridal business as a result from your show. I have come to expect a major surge in my business after the show, and the months that follow. I have referred your show to other professionals in various fields and they have all experienced the same results.I also appreciate the fact that you have established a extremely reputable collection of vendors. I feel confident to be able to refer business to all the vendors who are represented at the show.Again, thank you so much for the opportunity to participate in the VOW show.Sincerely,
Amy Becraft
Senior Sales Director
Mary Kay Cosmetics
