The bride secretary is one of the most popular female venture industries in recent years. However, after receiving the bride secretary training programs, many people find that it is hard for them to start a business. This study thus aims to investigate the bride secretary training channels and the training outcomes of these channels. This study utilities a qualitative research method to interview consumers, the new entrepreneurs of bride secretaries, and the mentors of bride secretary tutoring centers, and then analyzes the bride secretaries’ training, entrepreneurial, and marketing strategies. In this study, we surveyed 11 samples from 4 mentors of training centers, 4 bride secretaries, and 3 consumers. The empirical findings indicate that the new entrepreneurs of bride secretaries should evaluate their skills and then select appropriate training programs. Besides, according to the consumer decision process model, consumers will evaluate the bride secretaries’ practical experiences and creative works in order to reduce their perceived risk for the potential service failures. However, these two requirements seem to be the weaknesses for the new entrepreneurs of bride secretaries. Finally, this study provides some suggestions for the new entrepreneurs of bride secretaries: (1) selecting appropriate training programs and channels; (2)producing creative works to reduce customers’ perceived risk; (3) utilizing network marketing and word-of-mouth effects; (4) improving professional skills; (5) creating service differentiation; (6) improving communication skill and building standardized service process; (7) building a cooperation team to increase business and reduce investment cost; (8) modifying attitude toward starting a business. |
