2020 Hardships for Event Coordinators and small Business alike

As 2020 slowly comes to an end so is the openings of new business's, with restrictions and closings from all over the world putting in new perspectives and holds on life's developments in the business world. For franchises in the bigger cities don't seem to be greatly effected as the smaller business's and sole-proprietorship's of the business world, everyone in suffering in one way or another. Watching your favorite stores close their doors because finances and sales dropped greatly puts its customers and business owner's in a financial burden.

As a sole-proprietor my self running an event coordinating business for events has been very rough for me. I have maybe profited enough to pay barely enough to get by for a month or two. But the struggles with the governmental bail outs for small and new business's the help is slim to none. I myself have tried with no luck form unemployment and the pandemic unemployment with only denials to show for it.

My business like so many others is there life's way of making ends meat. while those who try to market and try to stay a float others are taking advantage of customers that share your same interests as you scamming them out of there money and leaving scars to where your chances to impress are feared. Marketing on the social media aspects are crowded with competitions that make it impossible at time's for those who are trying to move up in the work fields.

Between financial stability and the cost towards ads no one business can get the show floor they deserve. So many helpful marketing tools that seem helpful and legit end up a scam or overdrawing there accounts. Business aps such as Yelps business, Shopify, Facebook business, and more can give you the floor but with only limited room to grow, half of these apps don't even have categories for business's like mine and is harder to show off my skills. I my self have seen and have been victim of hacking and stolen pictures of items only I sell and make that gets harder to try prove whose is what.

We as business owners know that it takes spending money to make money, but in these hard times how can you make the money you need without looking for a hand out or closing your doors to keep what you have to live off of? This year has been a great depression of sorts for so many of us, as we try to pull together and hold our doors open with hope and pride for the relief of the new year to show us the simple small light of a prosperous year to come.

Keep your head up we got this!
