Edinburgh, one of the most magical cities in the UK, is the perfect place for a honeymoon. Especially in the summertime, with events like the Fringe Festival and the Edinburgh International Book Festival, the days are filled with activities and seem to never end. So even though you’re spending a lot of your time planning your wedding and choosing the right bridesmaid dress design for your best friends and a beautiful dress for yourself, what you’re most excited about is your honeymoon in Edinburgh. You can’t wait to stand at the top of Arthur’s Seat, looking at the view with your new partner for life, seeing the city in front of you glowing in the summer light.

However enchanting Edinburgh is, it can also be pricey. And with all the money you’re spending on your wedding already, you want to find some ways to save money in this city. Luckily, there are some great strategies you can use so that you won’t spend a fortune.

1 Be smart about flights

Flying internationally can cost a fortune. And especially if your wedding is in the summer, prices are going to be even higher. But if you’re creative about it, you can save money. In 2017, there were 36.8 million flights performed by the global airline industry, and this number is rising in 2018. With more routes and options, chances are that there are going to be sales you can take advantage of.

As a rule, you should first subscribe to an airline deals subscription service that goes straight to your inbox–for example, Travelzoo and Scott’s Cheap Flights. You should also use apps like Hopper that’ll track the specific flight from any American city to Edinburgh (and cities near Edinburgh, for example, Glasgow). That way, you’ll get notified whenever the price goes down. Finally, check your favorite airlines once a week or so to find about flight deals to Europe generally. Oftentimes, you can fly to another city, then take a cheap flight on a low-cost airline like Ryanair. Remember: if you do book a low-cost airline, pack light, so you won’t get charged for extra bags.

2 Dine and drink like the locals

One of the greatest things about Edinburgh is its size. Starting from one end of the city, you can end up on the other end in just under an hour. This means that, even if you’re staying a nice hotel in the center, you can easily wander off to other areas–and this means saving money. A pint of beer usually costs somewhere around 3.73 to 5.33 pounds, but if you’re in a more touristy area, it’ll cost more. So walk along the less-traveled paths, exploring the entire city. Edinburgh is built on a series of hills, so you’ll discover beautiful hidden gems in neighborhoods like Cowgate and close to the university.

Additionally, don’t forget to do some online research. Check out TripAdvisor, and download the Spotted by Locals app, where locals give personalized recommendations based on interests and proximity to where you are. Whether you’re looking for theater events or a quiet firelit place to taste flights of local whiskeys, you’ll find what you want on the app. To check out some of their recommendations, look at this blog post on how to spend 48 hours in Edinburgh.

3 Save on accommodations

The downside to Edinburgh being such a small city is that it can be challenging to find accommodations. If you aren’t careful and wait too long, you won’t even be able to find a place to stay during the busy summer months. So even more than with the airfare, you have to get creative. In addition to looking at hotel rates (which cost on average 100 pounds a night), you should use websites like Airbnb and Booking.com. It might even be worth hiring an agent if it looks like too many places are booked up.

Additionally, don’t forget the power of haggling. According to Million Mile Secrets, some ways to save money on Airbnb include staying longer, going during the off-season, offering something in return for a lower price, and, of course, being polite and understanding in your message about haggling. Think about what you’d want to hear if you were a host, and write that message.

These are some of the best ways to save money on your honeymoon in Edinburgh. That means when you finally arrive, you can spend money on what matters: sharing beautiful experiences with your new life partner. What other strategies are you using to save money on your wedding and honeymoon?…

Launching your first business can be a fun and exciting venture. Not only do you get to practically enter any industry you want but possibly make a big impact on it. Who knows? You may even change the world. Although a lot of people assume what’s holding them back is the price, starting a business doesn’t have to be expensive; which is why I’m going to show you how to start a business on a budget below.

Know Your Costs

If you’re going to be starting a business, then knowing how much you’re going to have to invest in it will be crucial. Depending on the type of company you’re trying to launch, the cost of this can vary tremendously. For example, as noted by the MBDA, the estimated cost for your average business is around $30,000, which is a pretty significant figure considering what goes into that price tag. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean your efforts will cost nearly as much, especially if you know how to go about this thing head on.

To begin, map out all the costs that are going to be associated with your business, no matter how big or small. Furthermore, it’s also important now to decipher how much you’re going to need to live off of, as well as how you can reduce that runway starting out. A good rule of thumb with your budget is to give yourself a conservative estimate that protects your foundation rather than the stressful position of having to catch up. Take your time in developing your budget, as this is going to be the foundational bedrock to your future success.

Research. Research. Research.

Once you’ve got a good grasp on your budget, the next step is going to be researching how you can tackle the market. While you most likely have a rough idea of where your market stands based on your interactions with it, actually coming up with a plan on how to go to market is an entirely different ball game. After all, as noted by Entrepreneur, with 82 percent of businesses failing due to cash flow problems, it’s imperative you know how you’ll make money from day one rather than merely relying on guesswork.

Take a look at not only your current demographic but how you plan on approaching new avenues as well. This includes reading things like ebooks and paying attention to other marketing materials, honing in on what could help you grow. The name of the game here is to be calculated, speaking in terms of what KPI and ROI you’re after, as well as getting those numbers up over time. Because although there is a particular realm of trial and error you’re allowed, it’s also a very limited window, and one you want to be prepared for sooner rather than later.

Define Your Place In The Market

As you’ve started to cultivate what type of audience you’re after, we now need to figure out what separates you from the competition in reaching them. This is perhaps one of the hardest hurdles for a lot of new businesses to figure out, but one that could potentially make or break you. In short, the practice we’re aiming for is defining your niche, which can be a little bit more of a challenge than you might assume.

Your niche is essentially the product differential you have over your competition. Whether you’re looking to scale an app internationally or be the only place in your city that serves pizza by the slice, it’s important to not only know where you stand amongst the competition but how you can stand out. This will be especially useful in things like SEO, which as noted by Search Engine Journal, with 93 percent of online experiences beginning with search, owning that keyword term “(city)+pizza+by+the+slice” or whatever niche you have could be huge. However, this comes with taking the time to hash out what makes you different and why.

Keep Your Outreach Consistent

Finally, as you near closer to launch, it’s important to establish patterns that you can adapt to consistently. As noted by Zimmer Communications, consistent presentation of a brand increases revenue by 23 percent, which is a pretty staggering figure if you know how to capitalize on it. And although you might be thinking this is simply posting consistently online, there’s a certain science in how to be effective.

Create a marketing mix for your business, including items like social media, email marketing, SEO, and any other mediums you consider essential for your industry. Additionally, it’s a smart move to create a calendar to know when you should hit these aspects, honing in on testing when you’re most effective. Granted, this will take a little bit of time to figure out, but once you do, you’ll …
