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.

Asked by Thanks about 9 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.

(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.

This guy asked me what I charge to host (I have no idea what that even means). What does hosting at a nightclub entail and what does it usually pay?

Asked by Hollywood girl over 10 years ago

It means either being the bottle girl or the girl at front with the clipboard. Pay varies but bottle girls can make a lot on tips (and usually 20% on the bottles)

What are the chances of my 20 year old friend getting in with us if we are 23-26? With a real ID? We are a group of 6 females.

Asked by helpMePlease about 10 years ago

Depends on the bar and the city. And how attractive she is.

Hello, do you need any connections to DJ in a club?

Asked by DJ almost 11 years ago

It helps. The best DJ's have agents. Otherwise it's a bunch of networking and trying to get your music heard

I'm new to event promotio. What would be the best way to make profit at a small local bar that does not charge at door?

Asked by playtoy almost 11 years ago

Small local bars don't usually use outside promoters
