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

Chase Main Street Grant. We need 250 votes to get to the next level! Help us achieve that goal at https://www.missionmainstreetgrants.com/b/29453

Thank you for all your love and support!

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...
