Over 30 years in business busier than I really want to be has been all referrals for at least the past 25 years, and surprisingly I rarely beat mix
I hear McDonalds is busier than ever too. Just b/c you get business doesn't mean you can't do better.
If one doesn't know better, than they only know what they know, until they see something different.
Taso and I perform to clients who appreciate a DJ that bring an exciting experience that is thrilling, entertaining, and engaging.
What bothers me the most is those who don't even mix are charging a lot for simply offering sound services-- b/c that is what it really is. I am not saying you are not worth the price you charge for sound services, but it gives me a really good idea of how I should raise my pricing since I am offering something more than you. If I do everything the same as you, but I MIX, I should not be in the same pricing tier.
Y'all are going to get replaced VERY SOON b/c with automated playlist and easily accessible gear, you are literally doing what anybody could do. Please tell me how what you is more valuable than renting speakers and setting up a cool playlist and getting a family member to do some MCing--other than relieving a little stress and responsibly.
No wonder the word Wedding DJ has a stigma.
I am raising my prices today!
