Just For You Events and Visions | Application Preview
Just For You Events and Visions is applying for government grants to enhance its business operations. The primary focus of the funding will be to purchase an Industrial Direct to Garment Printer, which will distinguish the business from local competitors. This printer will enable the owner to create high-quality designs directly on various merchandise, significantly expanding design possibilities and production efficiency. Currently involved in vinyl projects and sublimation, the acquisition of this printer will elevate the quality of products to match those found in upscale retail.
In addition to the printer, any remaining funds will be used to acquire essential materials for event decoration and customization, fostering increased cash flow and enhanced marketing opportunities. The business aims to grow its presence in the local market over the next five years, offering unique custom merchandise and exceptional event experiences, creating a strong brand identity along the way.
The motivation behind securing funding stems from a desire to create a client-focused atmosphere, where each individual feels valued and part of a larger community. The application highlights the competition, primarily from flower shops and limited local printing services, emphasizing the need for local, diverse event solutions. The unique selling proposition lies in the owner’s personal journey and commitment to positivity, aiming to inspire others while providing memorable experiences for clients.

Funding Usage
The funds would be used to purchase an Industrial Direct to Garment Printer as top priority. This will set me apart from other business owners in my current market area because I will be able to design my items with a machine that prints the designs directly to the merchandise. There is no limit to material so the options are endless. This machine allows multiple colors to be printed on any item and lasts the lifetime of that item. Although I currently do vinyl projects and sublimation, having this product will allow me to produce quality items as seen in higher end stores. This machine will also reduce time as well as increase production. What I would do with the remaining funding received is stock up on necessary material for both event decorating and customization of material (DTG Printer). This will allow potential for more cash flow, content creations, marketing material, and longer lasting merchandise for clients. This money will help me grow and establish myself in my current marketing area.

Business Plan
5 years from now I plan on having a successfully branded business. Where clients can visit and request custom merchandise, over the top events, and so much more. Within these years to come, I plan to focus 100% on this business and generate positive cash flow during operation. Offering each customer an experience like never before even as a “small business owner.” This business is “just for my clients.” I want each client to feel like apart of MY family. I want them to feel a connection and gain something with each encounter. This business is set to be an inspiration to others, inspiring them to think outside the box.

Self Identified Competition
My top 3 competitors are flower shops: Flower shops are a major factor for my area because that’s the only gifting we know during special occasions. The Lodge which is a local company that does T-shirt printing BUT it is limited to University and/or fraternity/sorority apparel. There are a few event decorators in my area but I want to create opportunities that clients only see on TV in my area. The money is here and the need is here, however, clients typically outsource now due to the availability not being local. I am different from my competitors by way of my uniqueness. I am an African American Woman who has endured a lot in my years and upbringing and instead of dwelling on it, I use it to uplift others. I have a drive and passion for putting smiles on people’s faces. I strive to please others and think outside the box.
