In other growth news… While Slay My Day has been busy growing, Haley has been too. This photo was taken before she welcomed her beautiful baby girl 8 weeks ago, so she no longer looks quite like this!!

The Slay My Day Mid-Year Update

Firstly, THANK YOU.

Whether you’ve been with us since day one or joined more recently, we genuinely appreciate every vendor who has backed Slay My Day. The support we’ve received from the wedding industry has been incredible, and honestly, we’re blown away by how far we’ve come in less than a year.

The Numbers Are Looking Good

Over the past few months we’ve continued to see strong growth across the platform:

6,000+ active users visiting Slay My Day every month
13,000+ monthly sessions across the website
600+ couples have created accounts and are actively using their planning dashboards

Behind the scenes, our digital team has been focused heavily on SEO and improving the overall user experience. One of the biggest benefits of your listing is the strong, relevant backlink it provides to your website.

If you’d like to support us (and help strengthen your own SEO), we’d love you to link back to your Slay My Day listing, add a Member Badge to your website, or share one of your featured articles.

Hire & Recycle Has Officially Launched

One of our biggest projects this year has been the launch of our Hire & Recycle Marketplace.

Our vision is simple: couples can plan their wedding, hire what they need, then recycle and resell items afterwards — all within the same platform.

It’s a huge step towards making wedding planning more sustainable and helping couples discover quality pre-loved and hire items in one place.

Vendors: if you offer hire items, jump in and add them to your account. Listings are included in your membership and the more stocked the marketplace becomes, the more valuable it is for couples planning their wedding.

Have You Checked Your Dashboard Recently?

We’ve recently added improved tracking to enquiry forms and social media links on your listing.

Inside your dashboard you can now:

View listing analytics
Track enquiries and click-throughs
Manage subscriptions and payment details
Update your listing
Add hire listings
Manage your account information

A quick note: social media click tracking has only recently gone live, so don’t panic if those numbers are still building.

If you ever need help navigating your account, we are here to help at hello@slaymyday.co.nz.

Investing Back Into Our Industry

One thing we’re passionate about is helping the entire wedding industry grow.

We’ve just wrapped up another FREE Social Media Masterclass with the amazing Sophie Piearcey, fully funded by Slay My Day for our members.

Coming in July is our new “Digital World” course covering websites, SEO, Google visibility and digital marketing essentials.

Your listing is only one piece of your marketing puzzle. The stronger your overall digital presence, the better every marketing channel performs.

Keep an eye on your inbox and our Instagram Close Friends stories for upcoming course dates, industry tips and member-only education.

Meet Sophie

We’ve recently welcomed Sophie to the Slay My Day team.

Sophie will be focusing on venues and vendor support, helping members with listings, answering questions and making sure you’re getting the most value from your membership.

If you need anything at all, she’s only an email away.

What's Next?

Right now we’re focused on growing three key areas:

More amazing venues and vendors
Growing the Hire & Recycle Marketplace
Expanding our digital marketing and advertising campaigns

But we have plenty more ideas brewing…

We'd Love Your Thoughts On:

– A Deals & What’s On page showcasing wedding shows, promotions and seasonal offers from members

– Member events and industry catch-ups — think end-of-season drinks, mid-winter Christmas parties and opportunities to connect with fellow wedding professionals

– Guest management and RSVP tools integrated into the couple dashboard

And we’d love to hear your ideas too. What would make your Slay My Day membership even more valuable?

Send us an email to hello@slaymyday.co.nz

One Final Thank You

To everyone who joined us before launch using the SLAYERS2025 code, your complimentary first year will be coming to an end soon. Please jump into your dashboard to check your renewal date.
If your payment has failed and you missed the email, get in touch and we can help you reactivate your membership/listing

We’ve worked incredibly hard to keep memberships affordable while continuing to add more value, more features and more opportunities for our members.

Thank you for trusting us, supporting us and helping us build something special for New Zealand’s wedding industry.

We can’t wait to see what the next year brings.

Love,
The Slay My Day Team
