Tips For Getting Your Band Hired For Corporate Events

By Sarah Campbell


If you are a lover of music, chances are you have no clue about the effort that your favorite artistes put to churn out their greatest hits. While most underground bands rely on occasional performances in local night clubs to make a living, there are those that reap big by getting booked for performances at corporate events. If you have dreams of making your band popular among event organizers, there are many things you may have to change besides strategy.

Most planners prefer hiring performers who have made a niche for themselves in the entertainment industry. If your band still remains relatively unknown after years of existence, there are many ways through which you can get noticed. These days, the internet plays host to a plethora of websites dedicated to even booking.

Start by registering your details on one with a massive reach to create a portfolio. You may make a short recording of your performance and attach it to your application. As a corporate event organizer scours through the site for a good match for a planned event, he may like what he sees.

Another important thing to do is ensuring you create an active presence on social media for your band. If you are fully convinced that you have followers who adore your work, ask them to follow the updates you give online. The hype surrounding your work will eventually reach event companies. Also ensure you post new videos on popular streaming sites regularly.

In addition, you must have the right aptitude to tell the type of music corporate personalities will most likely prefer. Being semi official functions, company events are likely to be attended by many reserved individuals. If your music genre includes songs that are lewd in nature, consider changing tact slightly. Try singing songs that stand a high chance or resonating with individuals from all walks of life. For example, there is no harm in specializing in uplifting and energy filled songs. They are guaranteed to create a lively yet reserved mood in the audience.

To get to the pinnacle of entertainment success, there is no doubt that you must begin at the bottom. There are absolutely no shortcuts to success. If you have soon to wed friends, request them to give your band a performance slot during their big day. As you perform at events such as weddings, your outdoor performance portfolio gradually gets better. After performances, always remember to ask for reviews.

Start by setting up a website if you can. Nowadays, website hosting is pretty cheap. There are service providers who even do it free of charge. Once you have an active website, encourage your followers to visit it regularly to post feedback. The feedback you get will be useful in marketing your performances.

Your website must also have a professional look and feel. Create different segments for your videos, audios, photos and reviews. Include one section for bookings as well. Once everything is set, your voyage into success will undoubtedly bear fruit. With time, clients will effortlessly come to you.
