I have spent the better part of the past year getting my business back together. Ive spent the money on upgrading all my gear, going to computer based, and updating my music library. I am looking on some ideas on how to better market my DJ services. I did business cards, had a new company logo created and started a website. I also advertised on Wedj. I guess what im asking is what else can I do to start the gigs coming in more. Ive done about 12 events so far. What is working for you guys, either just starting or been in a long while. Thanks for any ideas.
 
Well if you are looking for some free marketing work the socal networking sites (I like Facebook the best) and drop free ads wherever you can (craigslist etc).

If you are looking to spend some money do some research on what works best in your market or spread a little in a few spots and see which one works best

Join some Trade, Business, Civic and Social Organizations. Network like Hell, not just for yourself but the others in your Groups that you join as well.
 
Seriously, and I know this sound kind of lame, but I have had 2 events from doing the following:

I put a company pen and a business card in a decent envelope, and put the envelopes in grocery stores... you know, where they allow free advertising....

Now that I say that, I need to go put more stuff there... I have probably put 50 of those envelopes there over the last year. So those 2 events probably cost me about $30 to get $1200+ in business.
 
I've used flyers in grocery stores with some success but Papas idea might even be better
 
Some great ideas guys. Ill start getting some flyers and pens to put out there.

Truly Dennis is the PDF and ebook king using what he can offer aint a bad place to be. Sort of reminds me of an Aussie bands song title.

I told AT&T on five different occasions that we were canceling the nearest town's ad to their online sales people and when I canceled the ad in the bigger market. Apparently nobody followed through and I've got a recording of them admitting that they didn't assign me a print rep but I'm still in there. And I'm still getting bills. I paid the last month that I authorized for and I'm collecting unopened envelopes. I'm not paying.

Gotta love free yellow page ads!
