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.

One will do well in this field if he has a passion for music. Someone who has no interest in the industry will not know what the audience wants, the trending music and the artists to deal with. Even if you have a different taste of music, at least you will have an idea of the market demands. Someone with zero interests will struggle so much and might end up quitting.

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.

For you to plan good and unique events, you have to be creative. People get tired of the same things, and they will attend those that have new and unique things included in the program. In a situation where the aim of the event is to raise money for something, you have to come up with creative ideas that will encourage people to donate. This way you will reach your target faster.

A professional in this field must have good marketing skills. People would not turn out for the event if they were not made aware of it. You have to use different methods to let people know what you are planning. This can be done by the use of posters, word of mouth and even by the use of social media platforms. If you do not have this skill, you will have to hire someone.

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.
