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.

Asked by liyala almost 11 years ago

See previous answer to the same question. Short answer....why? 

What would you say, would be a descent bar split as in a percentage?

Asked by James Ho over 11 years ago

Depends greatly. I've seen as high as 20%

what should i set the bar minimum at?

Asked by mike j over 11 years ago

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

Do you know The Electric Pickle club in Miami?..is it easy or difficult trying to get in(I am a 20 year-old girl)

I'm unfamilar that but was my nickname in high school

A promoter has hooked me and my friends up at Gans Park for my birthday next weekend by getting us on the list, getting us a free table and a free bottle. I'm assuming he's being so helpful because me and my friends are attractive... (Continued...)

Asked by Manhattanite about 11 years ago

(Continued) ... And wants to keep us as clients for the future. Should I send a thank you gift after the party? Or should I just keep going to his events? Does he expect anything at all? I only ask because even though it's predominantly girls he helped get a few guy friends in for free, and I've only met him recently. Thanks, in advance, for the advice!"

Yeah sounds like he wants you as a client. I would be dumbfounded if a girl gave me a gift. I'm certain he doesn't expect one. Going to his events and bringing attractive girls is the best thank you that you can give a promoter. Ok 2nd best.

I am opening a Teen Night Club on some events it will be 15 to 20 yrs old others will be 17+ never any alcohol. What would be the best way to promote this. On the 1st event I only had 32 people. Only doing 1 event every 1 to 2 months to start

Asked by Smittyy over 10 years ago

Social media. Instagram and facebook are your best friends. Take some amazing pictures, even if it's all 32 people crammed on to a single bottle service couch.

Under 21 clubs suck.

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.
