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.

How old is too old for a girl to get in the club?

Asked by Gwendolyn almost 12 years ago

Depends how good the club is. As a rule of thumb, if your kid is in high school, please stay home.

I was just offered to be a club promoter, seemed like great work whilst completing my Psychology Degree. Then I came across your blog, Satan must have engulfed 3 tons of ego and conceit and produced you, come down to earth, earn some pride.

Thanks for the cynical , upfront, and hilarious replies! Should be a regular column, addressing all aspects of life....lol

Asked by Thanks almost 10 years ago

Thanks sir or madam. I couldn't agree more. It's about time Xander The Promoter became Xander the Life Coach. Like Oprah, all the best ones have a single name.

I was wondering, if you keep asking the promoter for guest list, how do you show that you're grateful? Do you tip? And also, do you prefer being informed of the party coming in two weeks advance or a few days before?

Asked by psychoanalyst over 11 years ago

Bringing hot girls is the ultimate thank you. Or buying bottles from him. It's rare to tip but it's nice when it happens. It's like anything in life, money talks.

If you are getting a table, then advanced notice is great. If not, the promoter doesn't care, just show up and hope the door guy let's you in.

What is the best way to get into bootsy bellows and hooray henry's if I don't know any promoters for that club? Can i just show up and be honest with them and tell them that i don't know anyone and see if i look the part for those clubs? Thanks

Asked by Kate J. almost 11 years ago

Same way you do for any club. Knowing someone is almost irrelevant, it's all how you look and what your male / female ratio is. So, Kate, if you're cute you'll get in and you'll meet promoters soon enough.

what should i set the bar minimum at?

Asked by mike j almost 12 years ago

Depends on your area/city. You don't  have a lot of negotiating power as a promoter at least at the beginning.

I am just starting out. For finding table clients, what do you do? When approaching to random people on the street, do you immediately push that you are a club promoter or do you build just a relationship first?

Asked by Promoter K over 10 years ago

You're not going to find a lot of table clients on the street. You're selling $500 bottles of vodka, not bacon-wrapped hot dogs. You find them through your relationships and yes, you can immediately tell them you're a promoter.
