as a 20-year nightlife entrepreneur, I appreciate any good video that portrays the real side of the business and not just the party animals we all have inside. Good stuff.

6 years later and I’m watching this !! Still very helpful 😮💨thanks Jamie
Thanks for this great video , I am dj and promoter for nightclub in Melbourne . you have absolutely nailed it .
Very interesting Jamie. Great to hear the whole journey from start to finish. Some experience!
Finally. The info I was looking for.
Really enjoying the no-nonsense approach and practical advice in these videos, Jamie!
Barry O'Shaughnessy a big thank you, really appreciate the positive feedback!!
Barry O'Shaughnessy real
Started doing club nights this year and wish i watched this earlier, some great advice
Great info jamie, cheers!
Thank you for that comment I'm planning to start my own business.
i love this content. im a VIP Host at clubs in Cape Town. now that its heading into summer its going to be a banger
Very good thank you for being so selfless brother.
Super helpful man, thank you!
That was AWESOME advice!!! Well thought out and very SMART of you! Thanks Mate!
Thank you for watching, more great content coming soon!
Watch this and enjoyed. Really want a change in career, something centered on communication, like club promotion. Very informative video, thanks!
Eatbreakfast S my pleasure, thank you.
I'm watching them all the way from South Africa
Loved your advice and it's helped a lot with pursuing my own career in nightclubs promoting, however could you explain in even greater detail your plan and what searched to find this information. As I'm kind of struggling 😅.
Great video though keep up the good work!
Amazing video I’m from Ottawa Canada I’m trying to start promoting as well this helped allot
Hi am Nigerian and i enjoyed this
Some very good points raised in this video that from personal experience I have to completely agree with. What if I don't want to run cheese nights and want to push for interesting music with artists that respect the craft of mixing? Well, this was our challenge. We started out with the intention of playing more sets but they weren't available in our market and we didn't feel comfortable with selling out to play cheese and pop. Instead, we took it into our own hands and started our nights with the USP of offering well crafted mixing of music that you couldn't hear elsewhere. We too hit the student bars, student Facebook groups and put up posters in shops and bars. Like mentioned in the video, word of mouth spreads and personal endorsements are one of our most crucial tools now. Two and a half years in, we've got two radio shows, we've got 5 residencies across 3 cities in the UK and the latest one we launched is playing alternative 80s disco on vinyl, so don't be too disheartened when people tell you that you should sell out to be successful, just get creative.
Samuel Herrera where are you based?
Realer words rarely spoke. I’m not just about the money either. It’s more the vibe. But he’s good.
Samuel, could you do a video with some tips on promotion?
Nicceeee i needed this
This was really helpful, thanks 🙏
I love it!
Very informative.. awesome
Awesome video Jamie. You ever promote at Copperface Jacks? Have been a few times, is a magical place.
I'll soon have my own nightclub business when I finish college, and in the centre of the dance floor is a disco ball with Iron Man's mask painted on it, and a Cthulhu milkshake fountain with 8 flavours from the tip of his tentacles.
Ladies Man 217 Sun-Luc-Dong where’s this gonna be at? I’m down
@@devynsamson1105 Club Avengers is gonna be built in town inside of an old Poundland shop.
I’m watching your videos and I’m really trying to get something out of it I appreciate you
Thank you. Delighted to share.

Thank You I will try this.
Thanks, Jamie your tips really helped me.
Micheal Brown my pleasure, thrilled it helped.
I needed to see this I’m currently in college and a journalism major and wanna get into promoting
I’m delighted you got value from this!!
Hey man your amazing! Exactly what I wanted. But just wanted to know in case of inviting an international artist to play for your gigs what are the key-things that one should consider. I’ve only done domestic events with local people but never invited an international guest. Please let me know . Thank you
interesting video to watch as I'm launching my first club night in october in cardiff some nice tips ...
Ruth Vibes thank you, I really hope it helps

Really good advice 👍 I like it
Just did a 300 person event and on to the next 600. By summer me and my buddy plan on doing a concert. Networking with djs artist and promoters in the city is key.
David Card well well done, where are you based?

Great video, thinking about getting into the business too
really good stuff, thanks for the video. iAm actually throwing a party very soon. thanks for the good video
Such a pleasure, delighted you liked this x
Thanks man respect
Great video man, I’m just about to launch my own events business, before now I thought the price of the drinks on the night was completely up to the venue, the idea of being able to negotiate with them is a game changer, I’ll be in touch if the launch party goes well 👌🏻🇮🇪🍾
Good luck man!
How it did go?
@@normaaliihminen722 had a couple of setbacks, first attempt got cancelled due to covid lockdowns in Ireland, second attempt was meant to be august 18th but got pushed back due to the venue double booking the date, now finally it looks like it is definitely going ahead on September 22nd which is peak time for college students going out to party in Dublin, I will update you with how it goes next month 💯🤫
@@breenr2020 very much pleased to hear! Good luck with your endeavor.
@@breenr2020 how was it?
There is also a club I want to do that for hence I searched on marketing secrets for nightclubs... am even nervous in terms of approaching the club owner since it will be my first time
If you never try you’ll never know x
Massive respect mate thanks
Glad you enjoyed! Plenty more on the way
This helps a lot to understand
ROM PUNISHER I’m thrilled, hopefully it brings you value
Yeo i love this video i appreciate it!
I'm glad man!
I’m definitely finna be a club promoter
how’s that going for you?
Great video Jamie,
Lucy thank you, where are you watching this from?
Nice man I really study your videos
I'm renting out nightclubs.. I'm soon to buy my and do events
This is insane. I'm a senior in highschool leaving to uni in London next year and need a job to pay well for college. I've never taken business but your video explains how promoting works beautifully! Last time I visited London I promoted on a Tuesday for free just by going out and passing out little coupons for an empty club and so many people ended up going the club tried to hire me (being attractive definitely helped), been thinking about how I can get into the more professional version of that as I know there's a ton of money in that business. Thank you for your advice. If there's anybody who is willing to take on a future London-promotor as a mentee-please hit me up!!
Thank you so much for this, I'm delighted I was able to help.
I want to own my own nightclub
Ive been hired for a new nightclub opening as 'promo staff' so i need to promote on social media and stand outside trying to bring in customers, have you got any tips? I am only 18 so im new to this
Good video Jamie, i love this. Please i need tips, i just got hired as a club promoter, new to this. They got really expensive drinks. How do i get started? Is it cool to start bringing girls alone at the moment? Thanks
Great info thank you
Very welcome
You're smart 🤓
Great Content
Sonny914 thank you
NIce Video!
Thank you for that!
I have just started a business in selling and rent LED-bracelets for Events and Clubs. But I don´t know how to get to the people, to the eventmanagers/promoters.
I could send my offer by mail to all clubs at my city but I want to start a conversation and build relationships to those people to get into the business.
where do I start?
Where are they searching things like this?
Alexander Tamás simple, give them free of charge to the best promoter in town on the condition that he references them back to you, show off how good they are via the Best medium and watch the leads come rolling in
My Dream to start a Comedy Club.
Very helpful but I have more questions?
Hey man, great video and excellent tips. Thanks for that! I just have one question, I would be very happy happy if you would answer. I have started my own Guest List in Barcelona and I have events on Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday. The interesting part is that before these events there are free dinners and free unlimited drinks inside the club until a certain hour. It's like a poromoting heaven, but tricky part is that nobody fucking believes it is true. I have done flyers, videos and photos to prove my product. Yet, people think it is a scam! Do you have any idea to sell a product that is too good to be true? Thank you.
Berk Alp Enyüce so when you’ve got a shit hot offering that people think I’d do good it can’t be real, don’t sell it to them, invite them in, let them experience it and if it’s as good as you’re thinking, they’ll then sell it for you
Hi there
I own a karaoke bar now got my hands into a nightclub! I was just browsing about the promotion for night club and found your
Video !! I had the same feeling about Tuesday earlier I was thinking of closing on Tuesday s ! But now I m thinking of your idea & plus when new place opens in the city it remains busy for a while!!
Please give more ideas on what kind of special nights can do to attract more people inn?
Aditi Mahajan delighted for you, happy to help. Where are you based?
@@JamieWhite in Saskatchewan in Canada
you just motivated me to go hard
The more functional the club is will determine how many days you can be open. Everyone ain’t going out on Monday just to dance. You need a dance floor/lounge/stage/ample room for walking around. Can’t be tight. Clubs are also more clientele than anything else. The prettier the women,the more you charge at the door. Obviously,women get in free,before 10. Oh, nightclubs are an insurance nightmare. You’re selling people alcohol! It makes them do stupid shit. Security has to be second to none! So much to say,but I’ll stop there. Nice video.
Got asked to be a club promoter here for some info
nice am a dj would try this out
You should, go for it!!
Hey Jamie. I am presuming you are in Dublin. I'm about an hour and half drive from Dublin so I'm a country boy in a medium sized town. I DJ at the weekend and am work as a barman on week nights. I have been looking into starting up a promo company for the last nine months or so but I have had to put it on the back burner for now because of the covid restrictions. In the town where I live there is a population of approx 5-6 thousand but we are also very close to another large town, just 15 mins by car that has a population of approx 20000. The town I live in only has one night club which only opens on a Saturday night and a Sunday night if it's a bank holiday weekend. I am thinking of approaching the club owner to see if he would be up for opening on Thursdays and Fridays. I would be interested in hearing you opinion on whether it would be feasible for someone like me to run promo nights in a small town taking into account that so many clubs down the country have closed their doors over the past few years. Would it be a complete waste of my time?
CLOUD 9 have the chat, let me know how it goes. Link in via my site www.jamiewhire.com
I also want to startup my own nightclub in India. Its cheap over here and is a growing country & economy. I have planned everything, I just need a invester to invest in my startup. My night club will be based in New Delhi, India
Abdullah Khan feel free to connect with me through my website and let’s take a close look.
hey guy!
Hey Jamie, very informative video. I have one question though: at the end of the video you said you were "doing about 30 of them (nightlife events) a week". Was that an exaggeration, or did you set up multiple different nightlife events at multiple different bars every night of the week?
No exaggeration, that’s exactly how we did things
Thank you for the clarification, but that begs a few follow-up questions if you don't mind: How many people were on your team? How large of an area were you working in (Throwing two events within a few blocks of each other would present conflicts, no?). Just with some rough math, it sounds like you were/are getting thousands of people to come out to your events every night of the week. That seems staggering, but I take your word for it because I don't see any reason to lie or exaggerate. I'm in the nightlife industry in the North East of the United States, and if you and your team were/are able to pull thousands of people to events every night of the week, it sounds like you have incredible knowledge and insight.
Yeh, it was staggering. We had multiple nights on each night of the week all over the country. Happy to go through things a bit more with you in you like via. Email, jamie@jamiewhite.com
I see how you nightclub promote but how did you get started? What led up to it. Where’d you learn. How’d you get 500 people, to show up where ever you tell them?
Will a bar/nightclub work in the suburbs? 45 mins away from San Francisco. No big name bar nightclub around 20 mike radius near me. Your guys opinion, thanks.
Sauce, all suburbs are different. It’s really more about what is missing in the area. Do some local research first.
Hey how are im Max. Im enrolling at U mass Dartmouth for bussness management id like to own a night club down the road.
I have a problem to become a promoter ? I have the ideas but I don’t know how to encourage the club hire me , I don’t know how to put yourself on the best site and actually become a nightclub promoter and I am without experience so it’s the big part as well.
let me help you
When you say people you look into for birthdays. Are the people you are reaching out to just random people over social media or people you know?
Mileena May yep, it’s a great excuse to reach out to people you don’t know but may want to
👍👍👍👍
My friend how much it will cost to open a nightclub in Newyork city. Just give me a rough estimate thanks
I’ve no idea I’m afraid
my boyfriend works for a casino night club. the club aspect is fairly new, going on its second year. i'm finding myself in the unique position of advising him on how best to drive traffic to his boss's club, and help keep their numbers up. Tickets are only $10/night, and you order your coctails at tableside. Friday nights are disco, and Saturdays are comedy, with dancing afterward. Hours are reasonable. Yet this year, numbers are way down. Last Friday night, only 4 people showed up during a 5-hour spread, and one of those was an after-hours employee. The club has very little marketing knowledge, and it shows.
I aim to fix that. Not my job, just a compulsion to fix something I guess.
Roxyie Curone good on you, just make sure you get a cut for all your hard work
