Jill Matthews Photography | Application Preview

 

Jill Matthews Photography is seeking government grant funding to cover ongoing advertising costs during Ohio's 'stay at home' order. The business aims to leverage its strong reputation in videography to expand its team of skilled wedding photographers and videographers, allowing for increased bookings each weekend.

Jill plans to enhance her team's capabilities in editing under her guidance, building on her own expertise in programs like Photoshop and Final Cut Pro X. She has also incorporated a Matterport 360 virtual camera to offer virtual walkthroughs, particularly targeting the real estate market. To promote these services, she is implementing blogs, social media strategies, and Google AdWords.

Jill Matthews, a certified professional photographer with over 25 years of experience, emphasizes her solid track record in marketing and business relationships, which have consistently contributed to her income. The grant would support her efforts to retain and grow her business, despite current challenges.

In a competitive landscape that includes Lifetime Films, Images by Daniel Michael Photography, and Maxim Wedding Studio, Jill's competitive advantages include her PPA certification, status as a woman-owned business, and her long-standing presence in the industry since 1993.
