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.

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 over 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 

What is the average pay per event for a promoter? If I was looking to hire one what would be a good "price" or pay structure?

Asked by Umm... over 11 years ago

Depends on whether you charge cover or not. If so, a cut of that is appropriate (usually $5 of $20). If not, you can get more creative in the ways of screwing him over.

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 12 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.

Hey I do bathroom valet at a strip club, what's the best way to become a promoter for the club?

Asked by DD about 11 years ago

Strip Clubs don't have promoters, not like regular nightclubs. Remember nightclubs are tasked with bringing in girls, not guys.
