Jeremiah said in a thread that people won't remember the DJ.

As indicated in another thread I had a call a few days ago when a bridesmaid of a previous client wanted me. Now, I do remember the client and the wedding and it was a kick azz time. It was a wedding under a large tent on a farm; a beautiful day; and a hot day. The heat did not keep the people off the dance floor. I had the place rocking. We were scheduled to go to 11 PM but since people were having such a good time and the only neighbors in earshot were cows and horses, we kept it going till 2 AM; the county sheriff at the time being one of the groomsmen also helped. :tribiggrin:

Three hours of OT plus a nice tip made me very happy. The client was extremly happy.

But, really, in my mind, even though it was a great party, it really was not out of the ordinary. I am confident that the whole energy of the party is what kept me in the mind of the bridesmaid (certainly wasn't my looks :tritongue: ).

So, what do you do to make yourself memorable?
 
I put 20 some thousand+ posts on ODJT -- you can't forget me xf:D

Gig wise, I couldn't care less. It's a job.

If you really want to be remembered -- write and record a song called Thriller, show up in court with a glove that doesn't fit, or invade Afghanistan and Iraq... ;)

The only people that remember me is the IRS -- kinda sucks... :sqeek:

I heae they froze Zenu's accounts and other stuff because Travolta didn't pay for happy endings so they didn't get their cut :D:D::D:D:D:D:D:D
 
thats the thing Tom

you need to get more referrals and word of mouth happening to become more memorable

my referrals are 40%

my word of mouth is @ 50%

but then if i decide to do the job is another thing
most want freebies or cheap ass jobs - so no thanks

my min start from $1000 for 6hrs
dont want to pay then you miss out on a fantastic dj

have a nice day!
 
At first, it was my hair. I was the only DJ in the area with hair down to my ass.
(and yes, it was always presented in a neat and orderly fashion)
The multi-op I worked for would get calls asking to book "the guy with all the hair".

More recently, (with less hair) I figure it's ME that makes ME memorable.
My radio experience has given me the wit and the courage to say things over the mic
that most of the DJ's in my area wouldn't.
Not necessarily "dirty" things...but things that are inspired by George Carlin.
By that, I refer to Carlin's explanation of his career.

"My job is to think up funny sh*t. It's sh*t you already knew, you just forget to laugh at it..."
 
I been like that for years because I aint SCARED of NOTHING

thats where

HAVE A NICE DAY (comes from)
