Do you feel that you have been spending a lot of money advertising and you are not getting much more business? You have your business cards and website, but still you are not booked every night.
This is a common problem, but you know that many DJ’s are booked every night and they do not promote as much as you and they might not even be as good as you. How might they be doing this?
Have The Banquet Halls Promote You
They most likely have the banquet halls in the area promoting their services. When these halls are booking events, the clients will often ask if they would recommend a DJ. If your name is the one that they say, you are most likely getting a call.
Although it is very difficult to get a hall to promote your services unless you are best friends with the owner, there still are ways to get them to promote you.
There are two ways to get the Banquet halls to promote you.
1. You can work together and cross promote each other
or 2. Which is even better.
2. Get them to promote you with out you having to promote them.
This may seem a little impossible at first, but a little bit of work goes a long way.
Be Polite, Courteous, and Professional
When you first walk in, first impression is key, make sure you are dressed nice. Even though your clients are not their yet and you do not want to ruin your tux carrying in the equipment, you want to have a minimum of a collared shirt, but primarily want a button down shirt on.
This shows the halls that you are professional and you are there for business and not to be part of the party.
When you first enter the banquet hall you want to find the manager or Matre’d that will be running the party. Introduce yourself and your company and ask them where they want you to set up and if there is a schedule on how the food events will be done for that (more…)
