From growing Bridestory visitor in Singapore and the Philippines, here are a few things that have happened at Bridestory in the second quarter of 2016:
Monthly traffic
Up to the second quarter of 2016, Bridestory has seen a total of 512,000 monthly visitors, a 2.4% increase since previous quarter. Compared to Q4 2015 to Q1 2016's traffic growth, the Q1 to Q2 2016 traffic increment was not as high due to fasting month prior to Eid'ul Fitr holiday. This caused the slower growth of traffic in June in both Indonesia and Malaysia.
Overall, users from Indonesia contribute the highest traffic to Bridestory (49.91%), and there has been significant increase in traffic from Singapore (16.87%) and the Philippines (13.54%). Other countries with growing Bridestory users are Malaysia (7.45%), United States (4.6%) and Australia (1.61%).
Monthly growth of business leads
Together with the growth in monthly traffic to Bridestory, vendors are seen receiving more leads every month. On average, vendors with a Gold plan receive 48 leads monthly while vendors with a Silver Plan receive 26 leads monthly, a 2.08% and 3.85% increase respectively against the previous quarter. Meanwhile, non-paying vendors (Free plan) only receive four leads per month as they have limited access to many important Bridestory features. It is worth noting that a good 63.8% of leads come from potential clients 'asking or viewing pricelist'. This, again, drive the importance of vendors providing pricelist on their Bridestory profiles to target the right potential clients.
