Questions To Ask A Concert Promoter When Hiring

By Andrew Meyer


The success of concerts is pegged on how well they are promoted. Promoting events is not just about airing ads and sending fliers. You need an experienced and professional Concert promoter who will help you achieve desired goals. Since not all promoters will help you meet your objectives, what questions should guide you when hiring?

It is commonly assumed that event promoters do not require any specialized training. However, it is a profession like any other that requires high levels of training. Some of the areas that make promoters more effective include marketing and communication. The principles acquired during training are impossible to learn by experience. Training also shows commitment to deliver quality work through constant improvement and proven ideas.

The success of an event is highly dependent on the experience of organizers. There are subtle elements of organization that will either make or break your event. This is why you must insist on experience. It should also be experience in organizing similar concerts because each event is unique. With experience, the small aspects that define the success of concerts will be taken care of. Your event will not be organized on the basis of trial and error.

Ask for references of clients and events that the promoter has worked on. This helps you to choose a person working on concerts and events that are related to your own. You can contact a few of these clients and get first hand reviews of the quality of work offered by the service provider. The references give you first hand reviews on whether the promises made will be fulfilled.

Concerts attract participants because of their uniqueness. Uniqueness can only be delivered by creative organizers. Avoid promoters who copy and paste solutions without thinking whether they meet your expectations or not. This means a person who works as a partner instead of lording over you because he thinks he knows it all.

How much will you be required to pay for the services? Promoters offer different rates depending on the season, nature of event and the level of promotions you require, among other factors. The fees should be reasonable. Some may charge by percentage of the amount you collect at the gate while others will base their charges on the amount of promotion required. Choose an option that guarantees excellent value for money.

The promoter must be licensed to operate in the industry. Licensing is a sign of a person ready to deliver quality work through training and experience. Licensing also enables promoters to be accredited to work in the area. With a license, it will be easier to address disagreements in case they occur in the course of engagement. There is more commitment to quality when you are working with licensed personnel.

The most reliable promoters are those who work like partners and not lording ideas over you. You need a professional who is proactive and will propose the best ideas for your unique situation. You will use the latest ideas that deliver value for money and are more effective in delivering results.
