Club Promoting?

[Seth Rollins]

Music policy and club sound systems nowadays will f*ck you up. Check all that out when you meet the club owner.The money places are charging for hire on someone they ain't met before will also f*ck you up. They will boy you straight away. Loop bar in croydon try charge someone £1,000 when i know fully well one of my bredrins had that twice a month for free as long as he hit bar tab. Talk to someone who knows about negotiating prices and costs of venues. Even Club CC when open was only charging my boys £400 for every tuesday down there as long as they hit bar.Certain "crowds" coming to your rave/being targeted by you will also f*ck you up.EVERYONE is doing the promotion ting. Can't just rely on www to promote your ting, you gotta be OUT AND ABOUT at 2-3am after raves are done to give your flyer, but why should anyone pay attention to your flyer? Promo CDs?How many people have taken a flyer from after a rave, and gone to said rave?DJs draw names, unless you start off small, get the brand KNOWN for good vibes and BUILD something.And most importantly, BE PROFESSIONAL. The amount of d*ck head promoters I've come across whether being there as a DJ, Doorman, Host, or part of the promotion. Treat people right, they always remember. And the worst thing a promoter can do is chat bout "favours" when you want a service. Don't do it. You're asking someone to give up their service for free JUST SO you can make money. Not on.I was going to link up with my bredrin and get into Promoting, but it's long doing raves. I'm looking into Dinner and Speed Dating. BIG BOY MARKET for dem ting deya. One female I know started one up for over 27s recently after we done some research but i haven't currently got the time to join her. STUPID MONEY in this.

If you're not a gyallist, BECOME ONE. As in:FILL UP YOUR PHONE BOOK WITH ANY FEMALE OVER 18. EVEN THE BUTTERS ONES. THEY ALL RAVE.Everyone needs to know your name, and everyone will take a flyer from a female. Get some of them handing out flyers/promo CDs and offer the girl flyering for you free G-List up to a certain amount of people for herself plus a likkle % of whatever people she gets into your rave or a likkle £20 for doing it.

that's the main thing that was botherin me. Ill be honest when I'm in/leavin a rave I usually use the flyer to cool myself down. Give me al your great marketing ideas and I'll put you all on the guestlist :DLol but it is also the crowd that it's gonna attract that worries me. We got a reputation for gettin these typa clubs shut down. Jus tryna throw my rave with a bit of class, thinking of makin it an over 21 thing, to avoid all the excited yutes.Oh Gosh from the sounds of it it's way more than I bargained for. Not to say I won't put in the work, but still...

[Seth Rollins]

Ahh. Goli said it best.+Dinner/Speed dating aye?Hmm!

Listen fam, it's not a raveIt's food, females looking a man, no bad vibes, no yutes.Imagine? B)The market is THERE.Find a cook, some background music, a good host, network and meet single honeys and drop it on a tip where it's fun, not desperate, tell them be spontaneous.Big, mature people will spend MONEY for these things.

Over 21's is still trouble. And you'll still get 18 year olds in there.There's nowhere to rave, hence "n*ggas" now jumping on the funky house raving ting. Hearing Heartless Crew on funky hardly makes it any better. Even these raves are getting stupid.It's about your music, a host that brings VIBES and not HYPE, and the crowd you get in there/target.Old Skool raves brings Vibes!I touch one rave my peoples and I on the flyer for, over 25's, nice vibes, good DJs (not house hold names but the BRAND makes the people come).

Expand the empire.Say no more.

Girls free b4 11, and have funky music at your rave. I remember touching Aches in Brixton, got there at 11.15, me and my bredrin were the only dudes in there for a good half hour. :|Sick!He has a point, like I said even if you get girls promoting for you and drop them a G-List for their troubles and have a HEAVY ON POINT HOST WITH SWAGGER LIKE LUPE, you're damn near having the vibes and brand will soon pick up!

Free if you tell the manager you're bringing people who DRINK, so he can make enough money off the bar. Act like you've done it before with some other people.What place is it, or at least say what area.

[Xander]

Its all about who you know. You need mad contacts (500 No. min in your phone book). You will need a team of promoters because you can never have enough contacts. Anyone can throw a few one off nights, its being able to bring in people 3-6 months later to your party. Ive only got experience in PR in West End night clubs, so it will prob run different to a venue that your looking to run. But what the club want is money, good rep from nights, and no trouble. If you can offer them that you will be cool.If your night draw is music it will attract in mostly guys which clubs dont want. If its a mid week party you may be able to sort something out on a drinks promo.Facebook/ myspace is where to promote your party. Texting is also a good method. Flyers are kool but only really work with known names on flyers. E-Flyers will work better.Oh yeah confidence is a must. If your shy or reserved you best have the brains and s*** hot wing man to do your talking.
