Inquiries & Price Shoppers

Wedding season is fast approaching! Jan & Feb are the months for price shopping and email inquiries! This is the time to really sell your business and book the right clients. Right now business owners are receiving the popular questions as: How much? Are you available for this specific date? Website? Location? Rules/Regulations/Contracts/Payment Plans? It is very important to have your business ready. Sometimes you only get one chance or opportunity and you have to make the best of it. Your email response, consultation, and customer service can make or break the deal! Here are tips for this high volume time for inquiries and price shoppers:


  • Make sure your website, contact information, content on website, pricing, and service and product information are updated. Also updated on business cards. When potential clients are shopping, they want consistent and immediate answers. If they don't see it or receive it, they will move on to the next business.
  • Respond to emails or phone call within 24hrs! People say 24-48 hrs, i say 24hrs! You know how many other businesses they contact in 48hrs? You can lose the sale! Don't make the excuse i was busy doing this and that. Your potential  client can be your next client! One of the biggest compliments i receive for Selections Entertainment is my timely manner of getting back to them. Trust me, people remember that!
  • Proper customer service. It is so important how you speak and react to a client. That sets the t for eoneverything. You can even tell a business owner tone on how they respond to an email.
I hope these tips will help you with your transitioning of inquiries to booked clients!

Planning Vs. Coordination

Business owners are you ready for more business and consultations for the 2015-2016 wedding/event season? Clients are you engaged or planning a party or event? Well this article is for you! Many people use the terms: planning, coordination, organization, timelines, etc... Do you know the difference with these words and the type of services you are looking for ? Let Selections Entertainment help you out! Planning: Many people misinterpret wedding and event planning with other terminologies such as coordination. Planning  is more detailed, more work and more structure. Potential clients will contact us and say they need a coordinator but they really need a planner. Planners are usually starting from the beginning or taking over where you left off. Planners are the creators when it comes to budgets, themes, decor, colors, style, structure,  and organization. They are the front line of your special day, event, meeting or party and also there to the end. Coordination: Coordinat...

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...

Don't Give Up!

With many businesses closing small and big, the fight to keep a business open is very challenging in 2018! The big businesses are shutting down such as Sam's Club and Toys R US, so imagine what the small business owners are going through! 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...
