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.

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 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 about 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.

Are nightclub promoters and bouncers a OFFICALY allowed to ask you for $$ ($100 per) to let you pass the line but not including entrance fee?
and if so do the promoters and bouncers pocket the cash or split the money among themselves?

Asked by Max about 11 years ago

Not technically. Bouncers get in more trouble than promoters. And for the most part the both just pocket the $.

My daughter is 22 and beautiful. She does not stand in line and gets free drinks. She is half Persian and half Mexican but now I know she gets in because she is hot. My question is are there any descent guys in these places?

Asked by Mom almost 11 years ago

Hi Mom! Glad you could join us.

Why did you think she got it in? Her wit?

I'm going to need to photographic verification of said daughter's hotness. Then I can tell you if she'll meet a decent guy or not (or a descent one for that matter)

It sounds like you have been with a fair share of club girls... can you divulge: Are they usually bare down there? Also, I am always curious as to whether or not they are wearing underwear under those tight outfits?

Asked by Freedom about 11 years ago

What is your inmate number, Freedom? :)

I haven't seen hair down there since I stole my neighbors 1973 playboy magazine (this was last week)

I've found g-strings are typically the norm

How would a person become a club promoter?

Asked by marcus024 over 10 years ago

See previous answer to same question

Did you party a lot as a nightclub promoter

Asked by Dmack almost 11 years ago

If by party you mean do drugs, it depends. It's hard to stay up that late without some chemical assitance but most promoters stop at Red Bull or Adderral. 

If you mean party...like go out. Yeah that's the job.
