During my first year of business, I had lunch or drinks with other vendors at least twice a week. Yes, online media played a large part of marketing my business, but so did getting to know other professionals one on one or in small group settings. I'm actually quite shy by nature, so these small meetings were (and still are) easier for me to handle than the large networking parties hosted by the local wedding associations.
Have lunch with another wedding professional in your area this week. If you can't steal away for lunch, meet up with a few colleagues for happy hour. It will help to unplug from your routine, refresh your spirit, and after all, everyone needs to eat.

Ah, good reminder. Engage09 did teach me the importance of 'getting out there' versus just using technology all the time, which is way easier for those of use business owners/mothers. It's all I can do to balance work and family, let alone meet up with vendors during the week - but it's SO important. Taking your advice and scheduling a few vendor meet-ups!
