Small Vent

So, I wrote a wedding review and then got tons of FM's saying "Great review blah blah blah" but then they ask a question - like "who did your invites" or "where did you get xyz" meantime ALL that information is IN the REIVEW that they just said they read!!!

Are people stupid? I don't get it Chat Icon

I'm not saying it to be a meanie, I just don't understand why someone would ask something if I already gave the information in the review....Is it b/c people don't read it - even though they told me how great my review was?!? Chat Icon

Re: Small Vent

Because people don't read.. They just look at the pictures.

I don't think I have patience for B2B anymore! LOL

Re: Small Vent

ITA with Kim people don’t read they just look at the pictures. To be honest that was one of my main reasons not writing a review. That plus I didn’t want it to have to be edited if I was honest about a vendor.

they do the same thing to me! I get it and I don't. I wonder if I did that to anyone while planning? Probably.

Re: Small Vent

I still haven't written a reveiw.. I have some not so good things to say about 2 vendors.. and don't want to be bothered editing it later. So for now.. until I am ready I am not posting one.

Re: Small Vent

Most people just look at the pictures and dont bother to read. You should respond saying "reading is fundamental" Chat Icon

Re: Small Vent

See this is my thing - I didn't read everything everyone wrote on their review when I was planning BUT if I loved someone's hair or make up I would read THAT part!! If I liked their dress I would read THAT part - see where I am going with this Chat Icon Chat Icon

So if you liked my xyz enough to FM me why didn't you just read the paragraph next to the picture Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Small Vent

Re: Small Vent

haha that happened to me too. I think people just look at the pics and don't read the details sometimes.

Re: Small Vent

ugghhh I hate that. I seriously regret writing a review. Nobody reads them. I get mail all of the time asking about stuff that is clearly in my review. The other thing I can't stand is that I gave some negative reviews on some vendors (I wanted to be honest) and I would get mail making me feel worse than I already did about the particular vendor. I.e. I hated my hair day of (as i'm sure many of you are aware) and I had someone write me and say "I can see why you didn't like your hair, the curls don't look right, they are too loose, your hair looked nothing like your trial, blah, blah, blah..Its like thanks make me feel worse than I already do!!! lolChat Icon I have contemplated taking the review down altogether...because I feel like I wasted my time writing one, no one actually reads it and after about a month it ends up on page 3..I feel like whats the point..
