As a Proposal Planning coach, I want to both educate and inspire you. I hope this blog does both. Some people don’t realize just how much money there is in Proposal Planning.  Sure, there are simple proposals out there which will require you to set up rose petals and candles.  And for those, the profit margin isn’t super high. There are also lovely custom proposals that you plan where your profit margin can be one to two thousand dollars.  But if you plan a luxury proposal, your profit margin can be extremely high.

Take Christian for example. He hired my company, The Heart Bandits, to plan his epic marriage proposal.  He is involved with the Pittsburgh Steelers and he had an unlimited budget. He really wanted his girlfriend to get taken on a journey for her proposal.  He didn’t just want her to walk out into a room and see a nice proposal set up.  He wanted it to be a multi-level experience that was different from anything he had seen.  

He also had one special request.  He wanted a rare Christian Louboutin bag presented to her before he proposed.  I must have called every Christian Louboutin store in America for that bag….but I got it!

Now, on to the Proposal Planning.  Christian and his partner are used to traveling the world.  In fact, travel is a huge part of their story.  So we presented him the concept of a “Jet Setter” theme and he loved. it.  First, we rented out one of the most incredible rooftop gardens in Manhattan.  We stationed a butler right near the elevator to greet the couple with Champagne.  When they arrived on the rooftop, we had an orchestra playing under an Eiffel Tower replica built of moss and lights.  When the couple walked out of the elevator, she was completely floored as the orchestra played “All Of Me,” by John Legend.

After the orchestra serenaded the couple, Christian lead her through hundreds of stunning red and pink florals and to a faux grass wall fashioned after a Parisian cafe.  Displayed on the wall were large canvases of the couple on some of their travels together.  After spending some time there, they walked out onto the garden and a string quartet began playing. It’s then, the couple passed a replica of a Venetian gondola with roses spilling out of it.  This was to represent their travels to Italy.

Christian escorted her over to some beautifully displayed Louis Vuitton luggage where she found a surprise gift.  The gift contained the rare handbag I was able to find which was Mexican themed and represented their travels to Mexico.  Finally, he walked her over to the pool where we had a custom monogrammed proposal message at the bottom of the pool that said, “Will You Travel The World With Me Forever?”  The pool was lined with gorgeous candles and rose petals. Christian proposed and she of course said, “YES!”

After the proposal, we transformed the garden for an intimate dinner for the couple to share.  The dinner was catered and came with a waiter to make sure they had a one-of-a-kind experience. The string quartet continued to play as the couple enjoyed their celebratory dinner.

Now, I know what you are thinking.  You’re thinking “Whoa, if he spent that much on a proposal, what would he spend on the wedding?”  And that is exactly what I am here to point out to you, and exactly what I want you to think about.  Really let that sink in.  If he spent $70K on a proposal, what would he spend on a wedding? And what if YOU were both the Proposal Planner AND the Wedding Planner for him?

If you have the opportunity to not only earn a significant amount of revenue for planning a luxury proposal, AND you get to earn the trust of a couple before they get engaged, why wouldn’t you? If you could have a built in lead in to be their wedding planner, why would you not take it?

And that is exactly what Proposal Planning can offer you.  It can not only increase your revenue and diversify your income.  It can provide you more leads for your wedding planning business. To find out more information on why I think you need to get started Proposal Planning right away, download our freebie below.
