Nightclub Promoter

Nightclub Promoter

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 am just starting out. For finding table clients, what do you do? When approaching to random people on the street, do you immediately push that you are a club promoter or do you build just a relationship first?

Asked by Promoter K about 10 years ago

You're not going to find a lot of table clients on the street. You're selling $500 bottles of vodka, not bacon-wrapped hot dogs. You find them through your relationships and yes, you can immediately tell them you're a promoter.

Are nightclub promoters and bouncers a OFFICALY allowed to ask you for $$ ($100 per) to let you pass the line but not including entrance fee?
and if so do the promoters and bouncers pocket the cash or split the money among themselves?

Asked by Max almost 11 years ago

Not technically. Bouncers get in more trouble than promoters. And for the most part the both just pocket the $.

My daughter is 22 and beautiful. She does not stand in line and gets free drinks. She is half Persian and half Mexican but now I know she gets in because she is hot. My question is are there any descent guys in these places?

Asked by Mom over 10 years ago

Hi Mom! Glad you could join us.

Why did you think she got it in? Her wit?

I'm going to need to photographic verification of said daughter's hotness. Then I can tell you if she'll meet a decent guy or not (or a descent one for that matter)

Does a south american white chick fall into the category "undesirable ethnicity"?

Asked by Julieta over 10 years ago

Do you look white? The bouncers are not going to give you a 23andMe DNA test. They'll take one look and decide.

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 11 years ago

Small local bars don't usually use outside promoters

Did you party a lot as a nightclub promoter

Asked by Dmack over 10 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.
