My plan is to purchase the Bose L1 speakers and a Bose L1 compact to use for ceremonies. I have been getting more and more requests for ceremonies and have not had a set up for them. Also, the compact will be my back up rig. It is small enough to bring with and most of my venues it will be enough to get through.
Also I plan on buying new lights. I am not a big lighting guy so I am going with a 4 bar 4 play combo with a couple FX lights. Most likely using a couple I have already.
I have already quit all yellow page ads and am going to try to market my compact for small business meetings and possibly a rental item.

Add a wireless mic to that and you can send out Marketing Letters to Chambers of Commerce, Auto Dealers, Party Rooms in Restaurants etc. You can also use it for rehearsals.

Don't underestimate the power of the humble thank-you note. Thank-you notes clearly indicate to the recipients that you've made an effort to think about them and thank them for their support. Consider the last time you received a handwritten invitation or note of thanks. Feels good, doesn't it? You can use thank-you notes for a variety of occasions. They confirm your commitment and help solidify your business relationship, making it more difficult for your competitors to replace you. Use handwritten notes for just about any situation or occasion. I offer you these ten suggestions for follow-up notes. Feel free to modify or tailor these notes to your specific situation. I offer these as guidelines only.
1. After a function. Thank you for giving me the opportunity of providing you with the benefits of our services. I am confident that you will be happy with your investment and I will endeavor to offer excellent follow-up service if needed. I do appreciate your support.

Follow these six suggestions to maximize the impact of your note:
1. Handwritten. Personalize it with your own handwriting. If your penmanship is sloppy, write slower.
2. Don't use company letterhead. Buy some nice stationary that doesn't scream "business letter." It must be a personal gesture.
I might only make it via PM the rest

Ahh great question. I moved to Toronto to help a 200+ per yr company attain 3-400 per year. Pro active sales and marketing to improve what is currently working.
Will offer Uplighting as at an additional cost to client. However, I may be forced to include it for free initially to get the word out and obtain pictures for posting on my website.
Continue with converting from bulb to LED from the "old" spin-n-pukes.
Of course with uplighting will come additional expense of peripherals; cables, cords, controller, fabric for lighting wall treatments.
Refocus musc subscription needs.

On the photography side we're cutting back on the amount of prints they're getting by 50% and in place of those we'll produce a very nice coffee table book. We've already bumped the prices on Jan 1 and we'll be pushing them up again in June or July.
Our photography assistant will be put on the payroll for weddings, and we are getting ready to roll out High School Senior pictures with her and possibly one other girl (my niece) utilizing our gear and we'll take a percentage of the fee.
Uplighting is already in the works and I'll be doing the first few events (since they are very early in the season) at no charge so we can acquire our own photos. We will then contact all of our other signed clients to see if they would like to upgrade to one of the various uplighting offerings.
Getting closer to going digital and should be ready for some of the later events in June or July.
Starting the beginning planning of revamping our sound system and retiring the Eliminators.
We've already eliminated producing slide shows at the first of this year, but we will still offer projector and screen rentals.

Wow, to be honest, I only have so far 5 gigs up to now (July 2011)
Things have slow down for me since I let go my website (due to shutdown by Geocities).
I haven't got the chance to hire someone to build me another website, they have been trying to hammer me with outrageous prices to build it

@ Jerry. Your site has some great stuff and I know this is unsolicited and I hope you don't mind but you should name your homepage something else besides home in the title bar. Preferably your key search terms Ex JPDJ Greenville DJs or something like that. It will drive your SEO up tremendously
