***3 Huge Reasons to be a Promoter...Right Now***
October 3, 2007
Hey Promoters,
I'm always talking about how much I love the summer...and really, what's not to love--partying, the sun, partying, the beach, partying...well you get the point.
But now that the summer is over it's time to get back to work
and focus on what is THE MOST IMPORTANT time of the year for
promoters.
The next few months are what many club promoters often call their
"busy season"...but instead of just one holiday like Christmas,
we have 3!
I love to throw Super Bowl parties, Valentine's Day parties, St. Patrick's
day parties and all those other holiday parties...but the reality is,
they are just a tiny fraction of what you can earn compared to
one of the "big three" parties.
They are:
3) Halloween
2) Thanksgiving Eve
1) New Years Eve
I've been in this business a long, long time, and for me, New
Years Eve is always my biggest party of the year.
...But I've worked with big time club promoters that make much more
money on Halloween and I know a lot that swear Thanksgiving Eve
is their most profitable party of the year.
...regardless of which party is the biggest, they are all
very lucrative and you should be involved with all of them.
****************************************************
Halloween
****************************************************
By now everyone in the world knows this holiday has just become
an excuse for girls to dress up sexy and guys to meet these
sexy girls...but that's great news for promoters!
This has become one of those holidays where people feel left
out if they are sitting home alone on Halloween.
...everyone is out, dressed up pretending to be someone or
something else, drinking and dancing the night away.
Admission to Halloween parties are often sold by the ticket or
a cover charge at the door (which is often MUCH higher then a
typical night out).
Golden Tip:
If you're new to promoting and don't want to throw your own
Halloween party--no problem.
...Try to sell tickets to another promoter's event and you can
earn a commission on each ticket you sell. The amount you pull in
will vary all over the world so it's impossible for me to say,
but in New York City, you can get $35-$50 per ticket.
So, if you sold JUST 10 tickets, (and even if you don't know
anyone, you could still sell 10 tickets!!) you'd be earning
$350-$500...not bad when you are brand new.
***************************************************
Thanksgiving Eve
***************************************************
For those of us in the United States, this is a huge party night
right before a big holiday weekend.
When you're in college, this could be the biggest party of the
year since everyone is back home from school for the holiday's
and they want to see everyone from home, so people feel
compelled to go out.
If you're a college student or around that age, you MUST be
involved with promoting these parties and start pushing YOUR
Thanksgiving Eve party NOW...it's never too early to get a jump
on this.
Just like with Halloween, these parties are normally pre-sold
tickets so this is a great opportunity for new promoters or
people that don't want the responsibility of throwing their own
big party to get involved and earn some cash.
****************************************************
New Years Eve
****************************************************
Obviously the most popular and biggest party of the year. If
you're even thinking of becoming a promoter, you should be
involved with a New Years Eve party...even if you're just promoting
in your part-time.
You don't have to throw your own party and if you're new, then I
would suggest NOT trying your own New Years Eve party until you've
become much more experienced. (I personally didn't throw my own
New Years Party until I was promoting for 5 years)
I suggest getting involved with a big time new years party
and help sell their tickets to this event...and here's why:
1) The person throwing the party has taken on the main
financial responsibilities involved (renting the place,
guaranteeing the bar a certain dollar amount, paying the
big name DJ, etc.)
2) You and your business can be associated with BIG names
without paying the big bucks needed for these names. (Like when
Diddy is "hosting" a New Years bash)
3) Makes your sale much easier and it's all profit for you.
I could write forever on these 3 parties because they are so
big, and so important to making a great living as a promoter,
but I have to get back to work on MY 2008 Halloween Party!
So, if you've been reading my emails and you are:
-thinking of getting into club promoting...
-you just want to try it part-time...
-or you're already nightclub promoting but want to take your promoting to
a whole other level...
Then you have to get started right away because these next few
months are THE BEST months of the entire year to do this!!!
