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.

One should have good communication skills. This involves both written and oral skill that will help you reach out to artists and other stakeholders in the market. In case of any changes, you should be in a position to inform the people that will be affected in time. For instance, if the audience is not made aware that there is a change in the venue, they will be disappointed to find the initial venue closed.

Good interpersonal skills are needed in this field. You will be interacting with a lot of people before the event is successful. If you are a rude person who does not give others a chance to express themselves, you are going to have it rough. People will avoid working with you, and with time you will start feeling lonely and left out.

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.

It is also important that you be creative. Find ways to make the event exciting and different from what other people have organized. People like new experiences and they will always look forward to your events if they are assured that you have planned something unique. Companies will also be interested in hiring you as you are likely to give their brand a unique perception.

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.
