LiftEngine’s American WeddingBase is the perfect tool for marketers targeting this in-demand and unique audience in “purchase mode” for home, travel, apparel, gifts, etc. The database is updated semi-monthly and provides the couples’ wedding date allowing marketers to deliver offers leading up to and after their big day. Wedding data enriched with accurate and high-quality LiftBase data allows marketers to tap into 1,000+ elements to reach the perfect target audience.

Every year, over 2.1 million Americans tie the knot, making up 0.51% of the US Population. These newlyweds account for significant spending across a number of categories as they start their new lives together.

What is WeddingBase?

WeddingBase is a prospect file that provides data on couples who have recently married or plan to marry. Selections include their wedding date, which can be used by marketers to send offers for services and products leading up to the big day and beyond. The data is also enriched with LiftEngine’s LiftBase data, such as demographics, interests, lifestyle, and purchase history. This allows marketers to create a more complete picture of their target audience and craft targeted messages that are more likely to resonate.

Why Use WeddingBase?

One of the most powerful aspects of American WeddingBase is that it can be used to identify couples by pre and post-wedding date. This information is incredibly valuable because “tying the knot” usually precedes increased spending across many categories. If you can reach Newlyweds across channels appealing to their pre & post wedding needs and interests, you have a better chance to grab a piece of their unique spending behavior as they establish their new home, plan to entertain their guests, and gear up for their honeymoon travel while creating long-term loyal customers.
