Events By Beckie 82-3157958 | Government Grant Application

Events By Beckie | Application Preview

 

Events By Beckie is applying for government grants to address financial challenges impacting the business. The funding will help cover overdue bills and revive advertising efforts, which are vital for attracting clients since all other funds have been depleted.

The business plan focuses on utilizing free advertising and word-of-mouth to generate business. However, the applicant emphasizes the necessity of investing in paid advertising to reach a broader audience and capitalize on opportunities like bridal shows. Additionally, there is a desire to hire employees to expand services into corporate event planning.

The applicant argues for approval of funding by expressing a genuine passion for their work in wedding planning, highlighting the emotional significance of the events and their commitment to providing quality service. They note that without proper advertising and financial stability, it is challenging to grow the business.

Facing competition from larger, more established event planning companies, the applicant points out the need for increased visibility to stand out. Their unique advantage as a husband-and-wife team allows them to offer diverse perspectives in planning, which past clients have appreciated. As a small business, they can provide personalized attention to each client, enhancing customer satisfaction.

  • Funding Usage

    We are behind in regular bills to keep the business running and have exhausted all money in savings. We also had to cancel all advertising because we cannot afford it which was how we were getting business. We also cannot afford to pay for bridal shows.

  • Business Plan

    I am trying to do as much free advertising as I can and Word of mouth. I need to be able to really advertise and it costs thousands of dollars. I would love to hire employees so that I can expand the business even bigger to host corporate events as well. Because I love my work. Weddings are some of the most important days of people’s lives and it makes me so happy to help. I can’t do so efficiently Without proper advertising. And I need to pay my bills back down so I can focus on expanding the business instead of using all money towards paying bills.

  • Self Identified Competition

    There are several event planning companies in this area. They are larger scale businesses who have been in business for longer so people know them better. I am struggling to keep up. I need more advertising and for people to be able to find me. But I can’t afford all the different main platforms. We are a husband and wife team. It’s rare to find that in wedding planning. We can offer two different views to wedding planning and my past clients have absolutely loved that aspect. Plus since I am a small business, I can give more attention and focus to brides and grooms
