What do you expect from someone who's idea of market research is skimming Seventeen Magazine for the latest pseudo-celebrity to host a club night? |
That is funny. I'm sure grutman will get a laugh at it. MM you bring in some talent that nobody else does which is admirable in the club scene, but really it's been tried and tested before with the same result. Bringing acts like paolo mojo and relying on that alone to pack in a club with a few flyers and constant bumps on your own thread will not pack it in. Advice walk next door to sobe live and see what works and head in direction that will attract those customers. You wanna bring in house acts, go ahead but be sure to give your crowd something more then just good music. Not enough ppl go out for just that.

I appreciate the advice... but I'm not tyring to copy what anyone else does. I'm not trying to pack Mansion. All I give a shit about is the personal satisfaction of doing something different and exposing people to new music. May I have the liberty to pursue that on my own terms?
We had a hair over 400 people at Paolo Mojo and everyone had a great time. Even Saleen's party metrics were satisfied... hot chicks dancing, napkins thrown, and I think even a few fist pumps in the house. Not bad for a club with absolutely no reputation for house music to begin with. And we didn't achieve that with just "a few flyers and constant bumps on your own thread"... there was a lot of face-to-face street work and education going on. I had tons of hits to my site and all the Paolo sets I posted. Bottom line... I'm not after the mainstream market so I'm not resorting to mainstream promotions.
So... what was your point again?
