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...

Less Is Better! Plan Accordingly

We all know the trials & tribulations of the economy but we still have to have a social life right? People are still getting married right? Budgeting is always a number one factor. Less is better when you plan the right way! Are you getting married and have decided you don't want to invite the whole town? Do you want cupcakes instead of a 3 layer cake? Do you want finger food instead of a sit down dinner.  We all know extravagant weddings, parties, and events are nice but sometimes less is better.  Less doesn't mean cheap. The right budget, decor, venue, and food can still bring out a great wedding, event or party! Below are food choices for a great buffet style wedding, event or party. Jerk Chicken Garlic String Beans Dill Dip Cocktail Shrimp Pasta Salad Smoke Salmon Less Decor at a reasonable price also brings out an occasion, remember less is better!     Let Selections Entertainment help you with your event planning, cat...

Selections Entertainment Wants To Say Thank You!

From the bottom of our heart, Selections Entertainment wants to say thank you for the love and support for Praises Go Up & Blessings Come Down Gospel Fest. This event was truly a blessing! All the performers, models, vendors, and people behind the scene did an excellent job.  This event shows and proves through hard work and determination, your goals and dreams can be accomplished.  Selections Entertainment stepped out on faith and decided to plan their first big event after being in business for two years.  This first big event turned out great!

If you are a small business, model, or performer, get ready for next year because we are taking off!

How Important Is The Word Support?

In our everyday lives we use the word support for many reasons. We encourage and support ourselves and others.  In today's society technology has taken over with twitter, myspace and facebook and many people hide behind that wonderful computer screen for marketing purposes for their business or personal use.  Eventhough in society we shouldn't look for someone's approval but support really runs a long way.  Are the majority of people really there and supporting you or are they just putting together a bunch of words on social media websites to make you sound or look good and deep down inside they are not really happy for you?  There are so many so called businesses on these sites.  Please take the time to get to know someone when conducting business and creating ideas together.  There's a difference when meeting so called business owners on the web and meeting them in person. Also get to know current business owners.  Just because they are in business d...

Support Local Talent

I'm sure many of you have heard the buzz of my upcoming event: Praises Go Up & Blessings Come Down Gospel Fest. One of the main purpose of creating this event was for people to celebrate many spiritual religions , help others in need such as Proud Fight, helping kids with the cure & treatment of cancer and Shaw University students from the tornado storm. My vision was also to help spread the word of local talent. What puzzled me the most is when i first advertised the gospel fest. The main question people asked was: who is the main act? They were looking for Kirk Franklin & Mary Mary. I was shocked! I know celebrities play a big role at events and parties and i'm not knocking celebrities but local talents are awesome and they have a silent word when it comes to the public. Local talent also don't receive the support like they should. My answer to that question was: all the performers and models in the gospel fest are the main act! Remember most celebrities perfo...
