Are my prices in the range of what they are looking for? do you think at my prices I would do well? I know some of you guys have used the service before and was wondering what price range a lot of the soon to by brides are willing to pay on there. It's a pretty big investment so I was just trying to figure out at my prices if I will get a good return.

I have friends who shoot $4000+ weddings and advertise there and get bookings. Others of the same caliber get nothing.
So with these two tiny pieces of information we might come to the conclusion that the pricing isn't all that important, or that it could well be very far down the list, but we're just bringing attention to it because it's more immediately measurable. The same conclusion you might make about just any other potential inquiry.
I was curious so I looked it up, seems like you'd pay $570 USD for one of their "feature" ads for 6 months. Seems like A LOT for what is just a directory. I have no idea how many are in each section, but if it's pages, that's just terrible. Eitherway, I agree with Tony that I think it would be a poorly calculated risk. You would have to be charging more and getting a lot of bookings from it, for it to really make sense in my mind.
What are your current sources of work? Have you gone slack on any of them? Try re-addressing these and working on them further. Then try and branch out into something new. I don't think it's entirely bad thinking at all, I've looked at similar - you want to try something you're not currently doing. But in this case, I don't think it adds up.
Happy shooting!
