Traits Of A Concert Promoter

By Scott Scott


When you are choosing a career, there so many things you have to consider. You can, for instance, evaluate yourself to know if you are fit to be in a certain field using the associated traits. The following are some of the distinguishing qualities that a person interested in becoming a concert promoter must have.

Passion plays an important role in the growth of a career. When someone works in the field of his interests, he enjoys his work and hence at no one time will he feel overburdened. Love for music is important in this field. You will understand the audience more if you understand the different genres and the artists that are preferred by different generations. If you are not into music, you might get confused on who to invite.

Good communication requires both oral and written skills. There are a lot of forms you have to fill for you to be permitted to have an event at a certain place. Sometimes you will have to write official letters. If your writing skills are poor, you will have a hard time making official communication. Oral skills will also be needed to reach many other stakeholders.

Interpersonal skills are very important in a field where you cannot succeed on your own. You need to relate well with the artists, the people helping you prepare for the event and even those that you interact with on a daily basis. It will be impossible to convince people to attend an event using a rude tone. Try to be as friendly as possible.

Being organized will help your career in a big way. Your role is to ensure that everything is in place. This requires a lot of planning and organization. As a professional, you start by creating a budget and then ensuring that you stick to it. It takes an organized person to remember to secure the venue, ensure it has been set and confirm the availability of the artists.

You need to be creative for people to enjoy the shows. Come up with new ideas that will make the event enjoyable so that people can look forward to another one in the future. For instance, introducing a game will make the audience participate and have fun at the same time. The more unique your events are, the more popularity you will gain with time.

Your aim is to have a high turn-out which will lead to high profits. This will only be possible if many people are made aware of the event. This calls for a lot of marketing, and hence you must have good marketing skills. These skills will help you decide on the best strategy to use that will attract a high number of target audience at a low cost.

Being self-motivated will help you survive the hard times especially as a beginner. There are times when the event will have a very low turn-out. Other days the artists might disappoint you and the audience if they fail to show up as agreed. Staying focused is not easy in such times, and some self-motivation will come in handy.
