Would you like to organise a DJ/ Dance event?, or have you?

Alright folks, Jonathan here. Hopefully this video could help you. Put information underneath here, then everyone can read it. Here's the deal, I'm sure you can understand where I'm coming from. Had an email from someone without giving names. Hello, it's someone here. I was just wondering on setting up a promotional gig for my new sound system. Can you help me with some ideas on how to set up a gig or a DJ promotion? Now, this is what I've put, because without going into great detail, I've just put bullet points here. The venue, times and dates, start, finish and the actual date, security you need to think of, age of guests, the DJs, the music policy, insurance, public liability, sorry, very important. Also, of course, you've got to have fun, and the advertising the event. Now that's one of the most key, biggest key factors because I know so many people, they'll organise this huge event and they'll have a poster about that big. So you've got to...

Hit people right between the doodars. Okay, so what are we looking at for advertising? We're looking at flyers, posters, radio if there's a local small radio station, get them involved as well. Text of course, that's another good one. Word of mouth, get some free people on the guest list. Get some people on the guest list for free. That's very important. With regards to the guest list, here's a good idea. If you know of a few people in your area that are the people. Then get them in for free, because guess what? They're going to say, oh I'm going free, you know, and then they're going to invite their friends. Their friends pay. Okay, so that's another important factor. So here's the deal. Are you going to organise your own event? Would you like to organise your own event? Have you organised some of your own events? Just put some information underneath here about what you've done. Was it good? Was it bad? Also very important.

With their pitfalls that you fell into and thought, duh, then put those in as well so people can look at those pitfalls and think, ah, I'm not going to do that myself. So here you go, a promotional sort of video, hopefully helping people out there organise their own events. Practice and enjoy.
