Nightclub Promoter

Nightclub Promoter

Xander

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.

Ha! Don't kid yourself. You're not dating, you're fucking

A MUST READ TIP LIST FOR ASPIRING OR RISING PROMOTERS (trust me):

-Bring girls. Tall ones. All girl parties over twenty should be paying $400-$500 if a crew is aesthetically right

How do clubs manage their bottle service reservations? Do they care what clientele book bottles or do they just care about how much they want to pay?

Asked by asuglfer almost 11 years ago

Yes they do care and the better the club the more they care. 

They manage the process through the promoters. The promoters will be liable for bad bottle clients just as they would be for fat girls. Since a good promoter knows he will catch flack for selling bottles to a bunch of overly-agressive poorly dressed fat guys, he will make it a point to meet the client or at least check out his facebook before actually selling a table to him.

Here's where it really gets devious. If you try to book directly with the club (some clubs allow this on their websites or over the phone) they will ask for a credit credit to hold the reservation. What they are actually doing is looking at your name. So a Brett Weinstein is going to have an easier time getting a table, will have fewer bottles to buy, and get a better table location in the club than will a Mohammed Al Tareni 

How do you increase your clientele as a promoter?

Asked by the newbie almost 11 years ago

By hook or by crook.

I suggest social media as the most efficent means. But promoters are always promoting. Friends of friends, strangers at the mall. Women are everywhere.

If I were looking for drugs in Vegas, would a club promoter be able to hook me up? And how would you go about asking them something like that?

Asked by Janne over 10 years ago

First of all, I don't condone doing drugs. Unless they make you feel amazing. Or help you have fun. Or relieve stress. Or get an attractive person to sleep you. 

But if you are going to do them or get them, Vegas is among the easiest to do so. Find a sleazy looking guy at a table and ask straight up. 

What is the title of the guy that say yes/no on whether you get in to the club (i.e. Parker at Bootsys)? He doesn't seem to be a promotor or bouncer. Can a hot female have that job, and if so - how to apply?

Asked by TG almost 11 years ago

That's a bouncer. Or doorman as they would call it there. 

Yes, a girl can definitely have that job. Bar210, Hemingway's, and Bar Marmont are a few places that have/had girls at the door. Be prepared to be called the c-word.
