New Years Eve Party Success

Happy New Year!

I hope you had a lot of fun celebrating, or cashing in, on New Years Eve.

I'm sorry I haven't written in a while, but this was the busiest I've been in years. It's been non-stop since Halloween.

2007 brought my most profitable Halloween and tied for my top Thanksgiving Eve...but New Years Eve was out of control. I literally doubled the profits of my next best new years eve.

DOUBLED!

I was involved with 4 parties this year (some on a much greater level than others) which is one more than usual, so i figured i would make a little more money...but not DOUBLE!

...and i wasn't the only one making money this year...

After speaking with some of my friends in the business and even a couple of competitors, i realized that EVERYONE had a huge year.

I've read that America is headed for a recession and times are tough, but you would never know that in the nightlife industry.


I thought it was just me throwing amazing parties and promoting them like crazy, but it turns out that most promoters I know in New York, LA and Miami had HUGE years.
(I imagine the same is true for most of the country)

I can't believe there are that many people out there looking to party, but the numbers at these parties don't lie.

...But with all the craziness over the past 2 months putting together these parties, i haven't had a minute to relax...

So, again, I'm sorry for not writing, but I'm back now and will be updating my blog much more often.


Note: I've got a lot planned for 2008, with the party promoter guide and for promoting in general, (for example, I'll be running some of the parties that are taking place at the Sundance Film Festival over MLK weekend) so be sure to check out my blog and my weekly emails.

In the meantime, if you have a success story from Halloween, Thanksgiving Eve, or New Years Eve, be sure to send them to me right away. I'm going to compile a list of the best ones to share with everyone. (I've already gotten a few great ones.)

Also, if you have any questions about promoting or you have come across any problems starting your business / running your business, feel free to email them to me and I'll be posting the best Q&A's on my site and blog.
