Would it be better to invest money in some trusses and moving heads. Looking to get the Rockville bundle. Also considering tube lights. I’m currently using a white plexy glass facade with uplights.
Hey everyone. Love this sub. Curious to get your thoughts on my situation and any advice.
Background: I used to DJ for a large multi op company in my area primarily DJing weddings,sweet 16s and mitzvahs. I took a break for a few years and now want to start my own company.
For those of you starting out, what are some way to generate leads and bookings other than referrals and word of mouth. I had two family gigs this month that went very well and received a lot of great feedback( I have played at over a 100 parties at this point but never kept in touch with clients or built a personal brand online). Is there any advice other then using Google or meta ads and building a website focused on SEO? I started a page and received strong reviews from the family that booked me as well as guests that were impressed.
I currently have a decent rig, some strong speakers, beautiful custom made facade, and lots of experience. I truly believe if I get a few more gigs the strong reviews, word of mouth, and referrals will compound.
Curious to where to go from here- don’t want to go back to the company as I want to have more freedom and control of the vision. I work really hard and always get great feedback so would rather build my own brand vs someone else’s. Cash really isn’t an issue for me since I have family members that can help finance large equipment upgrades for upsells, lighting, metallic truss, led panels etc.
Appreciate the insights.
