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.

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 12 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.

I am going to be 21 on may 15th an I'm looking for a good club hip hop in Hollywood. I am having a party bus an it will be about 20-25 of us. Also is there any clubs that has service entry discounts with this many people that I am bringing.

Happy Early Birthday! Sounds like it's going to be a sloppy night.

If you park your car anywhere in Hollywood on a typical night, you'll come back to your car covered in flyers for clubs, many of which will offer discounted entrance. Otherwise, find an awful promoter and he'll offer you the same.

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 almost 12 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 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.

Mom?

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

Asked by James Ho almost 13 years ago

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

Did you party a lot as a nightclub promoter

Asked by Dmack about 12 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.

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 12 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.
