Advertising & Marketing: Remember You Still Need A Website!

Selections Entertainment specializes in many areas when it comes to planning but we also specialize in advertising.  We all know social media has taken over tremendously but business owners, please don't forget or ignore your website!  The following situations occur in today's society:

1. People start a business and feel they don't need a website.  They go straight to a social media website to create a page or group and feel that is their website.
2. Business owners create a website but don't monitor or keep website updated.
3. When marketing and advertising a business, some business owners get so caught up with social media they don't list their website on their business card or when conducting interviews or speaking they don't mention their website or give out the website information.

*Remember websites represents your business and gives a first impression of who you are and how your business is conducted.  You are not limited on your website to explain your services, show pictures,prices, and testimonies .  Eventhough social media is popular, there are still people who don't visit certain social media websites and would prefer to see a personal website.  Websites also show professionalism and the hard work you put into your business.
 
It is also important to update your website.  You took the time and money to create it, then you should take the time to update it.  A potential client does not want to see out dated information or pictures.  People will wonder are they still in business or they are not taking the time and effort to market and advertise their business.  Why should they spend their money on you.  Impression is everything!

Don't Give Up!

With many businesses closing small and big, the fight to keep a business open is very challenging in 2018!

I write this blog today to the small business owners to say don't give up! I know as you are reading this you are saying "easier said than done" but i'm a living witness that you have to keep going! Selections Entertainment is in year 9 and there are many days I want to give up but I say to myself "look how far you have came, what you have accomplished and how you have helped others. Take your business day by day, challenge yourself, ask yourself what you can do different, and how can you meet  and network with different people to build working relationships and build clientele. Also work on supporting other businesses!. The struggle is real but pray, have faith, and believe, you will get through the rough patches. I don...

Covid Times!

Where do I start with the wedding and event industry pertaining to covid! It's like a slow spiral going down! If  you are a business owner or in this industry, you can relate!Back in January I started hearing all this talk about covid in other countries and many people getting sick. I didn't think anything of it because they were in foreign countries and i thought"The U.S. should be fine.  That virus is not coming over here!" Then in February the first case came to NY. I still thought the virus would be under control. Then mid to late February many people started passing away and several celebrities also made the news on contracting the virus! Next thing I know we are in phase one of a mandatory shut down! You know what that meant for the event and wedding industry! CANCELLATIONS & POSTPONEMENTS! During this time i had few rental orders because it was the end of the winter going into spring but this is the time that things pick up because people are ordering renta...

Budget Wisely!

Many brides are overwhelmed when they are planning a wedding. Many couples have estimated budgets for their special day but many don't plan a realistic budget. The best way to establish a realistic budget is to have a budget in each category. Hire a professional wedding planner to help you with your budget. A planner will let a couple know what is the average cost of a vendor in each category. People are very surprise how much a caterer, florist, or photographer cost in their area. The guessing game of expenses will cause a couple to overspend and become overwhelmed. A planner can also help you with saving money on do's and don't's. Their professional vendor list will help you plan your special day! Happy Planning!
