Supporting Small Businesses, A Must Needed Push!

We all love the big chain stores such as walmart, target, mcdonald's and many more. When we see their logo we automatically know their services and products and we are ready to spend! Even sometimes when we don't have the money we still go inside to look around and we end up purchasing an item or service!

Small businesses need your help, support and assistance! There are so many professional and talented small businesses out there. Many small businesses just needs that extra push and support to get a bigger audience! Most of our prices are economical or lower than the bigger businesses. Sometimes we have to work 200% harder just to make the sale because people don't believe in us or take the business serious or we have to run miles, jump through hoops to make a sale. One major obstacle small businesses run into is finances! We struggle to obtain grants, loans, clientele, investors, and partners. If you see a professional business owner working very hard and being consistent with quality work and services, please support.

Selections Entertainment is working hard to make our next goal and dream come true. We are on a hard working journey to raise money to obtain our venue! The venue is more than SE! We want to expand our Open Heart Giving Program and create a food and clothing pantry where families and individuals in need can come to the venue for food and clothing. We also would use the venue to expand our seminars and workshops to small business owners.

We currently have two projects going on to raise money.
Go fund me: Any dollar amount will help! We thank you for your support! www.gofundme.com/seproject

Thank you for all your love and support!

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...

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!
