LOTS of promoters do this, it works REALLY WELL in getting people excited about the party, and wanting to see who they might book. it's almost the same concept as a movie showing you trailers. they get you excited about the movie don't they? so do little bits of info about parties and the line-ups. it also gets people talking about the party. it must work if promoters still do it. it's not a hard concept to understand. you keep saying how many years you have gone to conference yet you still don't get the reason to why people do what they do... it's the SAME EVERY YEAR! haven't you noticed this? don't you get it? you're a WMC VET (or so you say), learn to deal with the way people promote parties. |
"And wetgrooves did it wrong to start with haha. They released the small names and released the big ones last haha."
Read a little closer in regards to what i said before being a smartass and for some reason trying to bash me. I said wetgrooves doesnt have it right. By the way, i am a business major so i think i do understand a little more than you might unless thats your major as well. Wetgrooves fucked up! pure and simple on the Kiss Party. To start, they released phase 1 of the line up late from what i recall i think. This didnt list anyone major really either. Everything said suprise dj. If you want to hype people as a way to attract supporters to follow up and attend, you do what space does or any other organizer. Release two or even one (if the name is big enough) big names, and then have a two part presale thing online. Have phase 1 of presales go real quick to stir hype and appear that the event has high demand (setting very few at a low presale cost). Give phase 2 of presale cost a while then release another phase or possibly two more of entire artiuts lineup. But if you do this all while having no big name on the bill, the hype juyst isnt there. And being wmc to start with, where there are parties from corner to corner and names being snatched right away for marketing and promotions, your event will just die in the clutter. So please, before you bash me and bring me up saying its my 5th time etc, just stupid ass immature shit, get a degree in some field of business and then talk up.
Just look at how well space and other events are right now. FMIF announced Guetta - well its his thing really, but already the hype is huge. Lets use a name that isnt their party. Juicy - announced 4 names or so by letting artists spread them on myspace, then announced the entire bill. The starting names were big and stireed hype. Same with SVD, Ferry, etc. One name will do it, but starting off low named wont get you shit.
