Any club promoters here?

[ChrizZ]

I know PR is one and Nighthawk used to be one, too.

I'm really interested in becoming one myself.

I'd like to know the pros and cons of being a club promoter.

Thanks in advance.

I was offered to be in one just recently. The person who's trying to recruit me told me that all you have to do is go to the meetings and litter myspace with bulletins about the club you're promoting. It's a great opportunity to meet people because people are always wanting to get on the guestlists and they'll automatically assume you know the inner workings of the club since you're a promoter. In a sense you're a notch higher up in status in the clubs if you're a promoter.

The only thing that keeps me wondering is why not everybody is doing it cuz you basically get paid to party and to make friends.

It all sounds kinda fishy to me.

if you have to promote your joint it sucks. the in venues never promote.

You'd love it, Chris. But you have to be outgoing all of the time, and very social to everyone.

It is fun, but not as easy as it looks.

You get mad b!tches though!

Just not high quality...

Sounds good. I also think knowing about pick up comes in handy since it's important to get lots of hot chicks in your client base.

I'm naturally very outgoing, love to party and I'm a people magnet, so that shouldn't be a problem.

I'm actually reading an ebook about club promoting right now and it seems like the perfect job for me!

You obviously know nothing of the club industry.

What is your question?

You want to know how to get your foot in the door?

And why do you want to do this?

Money? Girls? Social life?

My question is what are the pros and cons of being a club promoter and whats the best way to get your foot in the door?

Here is why I want to do this:

- money
- partying
- meeting new people
- never gets boring
- sleeping in
- unlimited earning potential
- I'm my own boss
- constantly surrounded by hot chicks

I'm a very lazy person, but NOT when it comes to this stuff. I'm a machine when it comes to this...

To answer your question here, not everyone is doing it because not everyone can.

It isn't all easy.

And you have to have real PULL. You have to be able to get a sh!t load of ppl to go where you tell them to go.


And it can be hit or miss.

If you are throwing your own parties, then you are your own boss, and have the potential to make the most loot. But you might not make a dime, you might LOSE money.

If you are working for the club, well then, you aren't your own boss, are you? But the pros to that are that the club isn't relying on you solely. You are just there to add to the party.

So getting your foot in the door depends on which of those scenarios you want.

Do you want to add to the party? Or BE the party?


I'd suggest starting out by just adding to an pre existing party.

and you do? your entire thread on how great vegas is still has me laughing. you made vegas sound like moscow. the nightlife you know about is aimed at the dregs of society who show up in vegas so that they can be somebody for the weekend. vegas is corporate hell. vegas was cool when the jewish mob controlled that town. now it is just a bunch of jewish ceo's that run it.

now you can go offer advice to some little boys on how to be a superstar nightlife stud. about the only people who listen to you on here are the little kids. should tell you something.

Sing your songs little song bird.

My town features multi million dollar clubs in multi million dollar entertainment venues. I don't know where you're from and I don't care, because it doesn't matter. Where ever you're from, Vegas is club mecca hands down. The BUISNESS of clubs has never been captured as well nor has it made nearly as much money as those existing in the tourist destination of the world. Our locals party much harder and in much more extravegance and exclusivity at the upper levels then yours ever will.

Translation: You lose every time chump!

In my city....a promoter is the guy that stands on the corner downtown handing out cards and inticing people to go to his club.

I hate those people, but in a way i respect them. Getting rejected 100 times a nite isn't nice.
They are nice when you have a crew with you (with women) cause they'll get you past the lines.

I have to agree with this. The city which have the clubs/bars that I frequent never advertise or promote. They let word of mouth do it for them. They make sure the atmosphere is right and people want to be there. Then friends tells friends. These places are ussually the most crowded and the nicest.

If your opening a new one you would have to promote to get it going.
