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 opening a Teen Night Club on some events it will be 15 to 20 yrs old others will be 17+ never any alcohol. What would be the best way to promote this. On the 1st event I only had 32 people. Only doing 1 event every 1 to 2 months to start

Asked by Smittyy over 11 years ago

Social media. Instagram and facebook are your best friends. Take some amazing pictures, even if it's all 32 people crammed on to a single bottle service couch.

Under 21 clubs suck.

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

Asked by Julieta over 11 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. 

Did you party a lot as a nightclub promoter

Asked by Dmack almost 12 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 the chances of my 20 year old friend getting in with us if we are 23-26? With a real ID? We are a group of 6 females.

Asked by helpMePlease over 11 years ago

Depends on the bar and the city. And how attractive she is.

Obviously my name means I have something going for me. What if I have something uncontrollable going against me... say male pattern baldness? Could I still get lots of chicks at the club?

Asked by Dr. Derrick May almost 12 years ago

I wouldn't say it's your best bet. You should be focusing on places where the women are over 25 (when they are less looks focused) and where they might actually hear you when you say you're a surgeon. I suggest bars and restaurants. 

Also I'd consider shaving your head. The half moon bay look isn't good. 

Do female promoters do well in this business?

Asked by Boss Lasy over 11 years ago

See previous answer on this same question

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 about 12 years ago

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