http://www.partypromoting.com - How to deal with a DJ showing up late or not showing up at all to your party. Good advice for any club promoter or party promoter. Learn how to throw a party the right way w/ video blogs by Trent Dunn
This blog post is yet another tip…it’s about recapping your party, regardless if it’s a good party or a bad one. Most promoters don’t do recaps when they have an unsuccessful party…but you’re not “most” promoters, now are you!? lol.. So, check out this video and see why doing recaps it’s a great marketing tactic.
This blog post is a snippet from the Party Promoting 3.0 program. It’s me interviewing an expert party promoter/club owner by the name of J. Carter. He owns two of the hottest club venues in the city and he promotes hot parties. He has sponsorships from a variety of companies and takes time to sit down with me to share his knowledge.
Yes, Lebron James’ lawyer mailed me about a potential law suit over using his name on a party for one of my clients. Take this as a lesson and do things the right way!
I have another company here in Atlanta called Atlanta After Dark (atlafterdark.com) where I do email marketing for local nightclubs and promoters. One of my clients had me send out an email for a party being hosted by LeBron James and Joe Johnson of the Atlanta Hawks. Word got around to LeBron’s lawyer and he acted swiftly to shut it down due to it not being an official contract on the booking. Check out my video and I’ll show you the flyer and the letter the lawyer sent me. I’ll also tell you how to avoid this from happening to you!!
Party Promoter Tip on how to get your company branded in your city when you can’t afford to throw parties yourself. Basically, it’s about offering your energy and time to the promotions of established, seasoned promoters in exchange for your name and logo being on the flyers, emails, etc. It’s a good way to build your name up until you have the money to jump things off by yourself!
I visited a nightclub party of one of my clients who is a promoter. He and his co-promoters spent $5k on radio ads and yet the party was not a success. This goes to show you that just because you spend a lot of money or tell a ton of people about something, doesn’t mean it’s going to be a success. The key is spread your promotional efforts and not neglect doing grassroots means of promotion to create a buzz. Figure out how to get the ‘buzz’ started amongst your target clientele and you’ll be guaranteed a great turnout!
This new blog post is about properly dealing with people you work with when it comes to compensation. This includes DJ, door personnel, security, etc. People don’t like to get stiffed nor do they like to get sent home early after they already made plans to be there. If you run into a problem where you find yourself having to make cut backs, make sure you notify anyone working for you that you might not need them. Also, consider giving them some form of flat compensation, like gas money, if they do come all the way out to work and you turn them right back around to go home.
The other tip was to never plan on paying your set expenses to these people from money you speculate to make at the door. Always have people’s money on your person and be prepared to pay out of your pocket just in case the worst scenerio arises…which is your door not making any money.
The bottom line - Be Prepared.

I get a lot of emails from people asking me about the outcome and results of various parties I’ve been involved in, and also if i’ve ever had bad results. So, here’s my confession of a party that didn’t go so well with me.
It happens to the best of us and all promoters have a bad night here and there.
I was doing a party for a liquor sponsor of mine and it didn’t go so well. I give you the details in my video blog. Check it out below!
Well, here’s the answer! They were never released. Version 1.0 was initially just an e-book of the program. Version 2.0 was born when I made it an audio book and added other audio elements to the program. The final version, Party Promoting 3.0, came to life when I added the videos, more audio, tutorials, template contracts, etc. So, there you have it! Party Promoting 3.0..which is available to you now at

Here’s my new blog post tip - Send your designs to the printer yourself
Sometimes you can save money by getting your flyer artwork from your designer and dealing directly with the printer. Compare the itemized prices your designer gives you for the design and print cost to what printing would cost you elsewhere. Submitting your artwork to a printer is easy and can be done online. Sites like PrintIn48.com are online print companies that will take your artwork submissions and are efficient in getting you back a quality product in a timely manner. Local printers do have an advantage of getting you next day print jobs, but you may be paying rush fees for that service. Try to plan ahead and order your flyers well before time so you don’t have unnecessary expenses.
