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 would a person become a club promoter?

Does a south american white chick fall into the category "undesirable ethnicity"?

Asked by Julieta over 11 years ago

Do you look white? The bouncers are not going to give you a 23andMe DNA test. They'll take one look and decide. 

Obviously my name means I have something going for me. What if I have something uncontrollable going against me... say male pattern baldness? Could I still get lots of chicks at the club?

Asked by Dr. Derrick May almost 12 years ago

I wouldn't say it's your best bet. You should be focusing on places where the women are over 25 (when they are less looks focused) and where they might actually hear you when you say you're a surgeon. I suggest bars and restaurants. 

Also I'd consider shaving your head. The half moon bay look isn't good. 

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 almost 12 years ago

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

Do female promoters do well in this business?

Did you party a lot as a nightclub promoter

Asked by Dmack over 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.

What are some well known tricks for advertising/promoting a club as you mentioned in one of your answers you said it's really just mass text.... is there any other techniques besides mass text?

Asked by DCARTER over 11 years ago

Email flyers are popular. Hard flyers left on car windshields is another popular one amongst crappy clubs. My car looks like it's been through a parade with all the crap on it after a night in a hollywood parking lot.
