I'm just wondering, and not that I'm offended by it, but I don't get why you're calling my services "bar mitzvah" style. All the top tier dj's in nj/nyc offer all the same services I do, wether its sweet 16's or weddings... and many of those Wedding companies are companies that exclusively doing weddings. I believe what we are trying to do is create a certain type of experience. Mitzvah style around here means, not necessarily the equipment, or the look, but moreso the interactiveness including dancers, mc's that engage a lot with the crowd, dance routines, lots of giveaways, and games.I think you're essentially selling a Bar Mitzvah look to the Sweet 16's and young club going wedding couples. There's people in my area who do the same thing. Their not Bar Mitzvah entertainer/DJs but, they deliver all the same accoutrements to a different clientelle. It's also gotten really crowded and noticeably routine. Everyone has a white facade, the same light up risers, truss totems and movers, up lights, and a monogram. It's like they all went to some DJ version of IKEA and walked out with the same goody bag. Sales literally come down to th e 40-something mom reliving her youth and which young DJ/emcee she is crushing on.
While I may offer a lot of what others do, I separate myself I believe in the way that its presented. Often times, the key phrase I hear from clients that research me, is that my events just look so much more fun, exciting, energetic, etc and that that's what they want their event like. Many of us play the same songs at weddings... but we all create a different atmosphere. The equipment and add-ons just add to the atmosphere should the client desire it. Nowadays, in the social media age, people admittedly do not want to be seen without something if everyone else is doing it, and likewise want the latest and best to be different... if they can afford it of course. We're in the age of social media events, where we care more than ever about how it's presented to the guests and the public. If all they see online are mediocre standard weddings, and then they come across my videos and content and it catches their eye and looks awesome on instagram or facebook, it's going to appeal to that millennial bride.
I'm just not sure I'm following your thought.
