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.

whats the best way to find a promoter who is looking for acts to perform at an event

Asked by blaze over 10 years ago

Promoters don't get involved in acts for the most part. It's straight from club to the acts and their reps, usually

I'm throwing a Halloween Party (it falls on a Friday), but I don't know many ppl, so I want to hire 2 friends who know a lot of ppl. I'm thinking to charge $ 40 as presale. (I rented a warehouse). How much cut should I give them? Thx.

Asked by LO_Ris over 10 years ago

Depends on your profit margins after renting the venue, etc. I assume you want to make a profit? $5-10 would be typical

Are You familiar with Greystone Manor in Los Angeles? Whats the best thing to say or way to get in after fighting through the huge crowd and getting a promoter or a bouncers attention?

Asked by roro over 10 years ago

I live walking distance from it. It's not good anymore so "hey I'm not fat" should be enough.

If not, the standard rules apply. Bring girls, be nice, look good, know a promoter, show up early, and if all else fails, be ready to grease the bouncer.

(Cntd) dont want them, but they spend alot of their time trying to crawl up the model arses. Desperatly wanting them as 'Girlfriends' but most model dont want them they want a z-list celeb to date so the promoters are stuck banging uglies. True?

Asked by MeAgain over 10 years ago

Let's not debate what makes  a "model" which really could be anything, I've met some beat models. But yes, the most attractive/quality girls don't want a promoter boyfriend. They'll bang em once but if a chick is hot she wants to do better than a scumbag promoter.

How do u become friends with bouncers/managers? At this really exclusive club, my friends have become buddies with them and get greeted. I go often but not as much, and they still ID me out of the whole group, its embarrassing. How can I change this?

Asked by GIRL almost 10 years ago

You have to meet those guys outside of the club. In LA, a lot of them train MMA so joining an MMA or Jiu-jitsu gym is a good way.

Whats a good way to advertise for free bottle service? Posting online will not only attract people you don't want, but the clubs don't appreciate you advertising in that manner. Any ideas?

Asked by social12 almost 10 years ago

You're having trouble giving away $2000? Maybe promoting isn't for you.
