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.

Trying to message a promoter about getting in somewhere. How would I go about it? Do I just ask right off the back, or attempt small talk?

Asked by Eddy almost 11 years ago

Ask right off the bat. Or off the back, if you're a chick I guess.

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?

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

If I have enough money could I invest in or become a partial owner if a nightclub? Would that create opportunities for some temporary female companionship?

Asked by Doc about 11 years ago

The entire business is run on this principle. Take money from some rich, older "investors" who made their money in something boring (finance, real estate, oil and gas, insurance, etc) and sell them on being cool by owning a nightclub. And yes, it can get you laid. 

The film business works mostly the same way.

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 over 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.

My husband was offered a job being a club promoter. Good or bad for marriage?

Asked by thea about 11 years ago

Hard to say as an outsider to your marriage and every marriage is different. How do you feel about alcoholism and HPV?

Can you give me a little more info about how women go to clubs to play social status game? Greatly appreciated.

(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 11 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.
