How does one find Promoters to hire?

Asked by CLopapa over 11 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.

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

Asked by DJ over 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

Did you party a lot as a nightclub promoter

Asked by Dmack about 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 about 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.
