PROMOTER

An Entertainment Promoter is a person or company in the business of marketing and
promoting concerts, festivals, performances, nightclubs or other live events.

Promoters bring crowds through a variety of methods. The most direct are guerrilla
marketing techniques such as plastering posters on outdoor walls, flyposting, and
distributing handbills on windows of cars parked in entertainment districts. Promoters
also keep mailing lists, usually email lists, of their preferred guests and their wider list of
potential customers. Recently, many promoters have taken advantage of online
technology such as online social networks and event listing sites to handle publicity,
invitations, mailing lists, and so on. Clubs and promoters are among leaders in SMS text
message advertising to their own lists as well as sponsored snippets on 3rd party lists
for daily content to subscribers.

Promoters often build a brand out of their own personalities and the parties they host,
marketing the events under a consistent name, style, type of program, and social
experience that downplays the branding of the venue or artist. They may develop a loyal
clientèle that will follow them from one location to another.

THERE CAN BE NO PARTY IF NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT!
