Nightclub Promoter

Nightclub Promoter

Hollywood, CA

Male, 32

I promoted at several of Hollywood’s hottest clubs during a period of unemployment, mainly to see what all of the fuss was about. While it was fun and definitely had its perks, it also confirmed quite a few of the suspicions and stereotypes I’d previously held about how the industry works.

what's a good way to find a goood catchy name for my partner and i?

Asked by sheena over 11 years ago

I suggest Goood

I've noticed that 9/10 girls on fb or any social media ignore you even if you offer free drinks and and free entry at some of the most upscale nightclubs. Did you have any social media strategies? Thanks.

Asked by Al over 11 years ago

This means your facebook profile isn't cool enough. It's not about free drinks or entry, it's about whether they want to actually hang out with you. Do you think girls have any trouble getting free drinks or free entry without you?

Im an 18 year old DJ in LA and started going to clubs last year. I really want to DJ in clubs. How would i DJ in clubs in LA? Do i have to know the promoter etc? Whats the best way?

Asked by GI over 11 years ago

I'm not a well versed in the DJ scene. I do know most of the DJ's in LA clubs have DJ agents that get them gigs. Your best bet is to meet some LA based DJ's and ask. I don't think knowing promoters helps much.

i just got a job as a bottle service girl. I said I had over two years of experience and ive actually never done it. Can you give me a run down of what a night looks like as a bottle service girl?

Asked by jenn over 11 years ago

You lied, which is a good start to work in an industry that is based on lies. Good job.

It's pretty simple. Fit in to a corsett, put on loads of makeup and flirt with skeezy guys. And occasionally pour drinks for them. Don't sweat it, it's not balancing the federal budget and they'll fill you in on exactly what they expect of you. 

How do I meet a promoter who can get us hooked up at a specific club on short notice (1-2 weeks)? My girlfriends and I want to check out hot spots like LAVO, Le Bain, Cielo, etc, but we're all new to the NYC nightlife scene.

Asked by NYC Chick over 11 years ago

I suggest facebook. Do searches for those places and look on their walls to see who is liking or commenting. Find attractive women and see who is commenting and liking on a lot of their pages (they will likely be promoters).

Then again, if you are hot enough, just show up. 

Is it better to be a nightclub promoter, or a nightclub owner?

Asked by jason k. over 11 years ago

Would you rather own the Lakers or be the 12th guy on the bench that gets the clap 3 times a year?

I've just applied to work at a gentlemen's club (doing anything but dancing) and they said they thought I'd make a good promo girl based on my personality. So my question is what's the best way to get people coming in to buy a bottle at the door?

Asked by Darling over 11 years ago

Be prepared to get really sick of every guy asking "why aren't you up there?"

Gentlemen's Clubs are not my forte. I don't really get the appeal. Have these guys not heard of internet porn?
