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.

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 about 12 years ago

Small local bars don't usually use outside promoters

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 about 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 there strippers

Asked by will over 12 years ago

In the world? Yes. They get paid to convince men that they find them attractive

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 almost 12 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.

How does one find Promoters to hire?

Asked by CLopapa about 12 years ago

Networking usually. For the good ones at least. I've see bar/clubs post on craigslist for promoters. I imagine those places have metal detectors at the door. 

is there a difference between vegas promoters and the promoters in LA? I've noticed that vegas promoters give a lot more instructions as to where to go after the girls on the guest-lists arrive. However, the promoters in LA don't really do that.

Asked by juliatseng331@yahoo.com over 11 years ago

Vegas promoters are much more concerned about bottle clients and much less concerned about curiating a crowd since the crowd is mostly out-of-towners so there's little repeat business. Also the clubs are so big and expensive that you need bottle clients and bodies, not a handful of super attractive women. 

Also Vegas promoters are scummier.
