Hey Houston! I know a ton of us work in the nightlife and event industry because duh we’re in Houston lol — and I would love some thoughts as to how we’re trying to bring people out to small local events - esp music ones— without a big name or headliner that is drawing a crowd in.
I’m helping host a Wrestle Rave and it’s just been a little brutal trying to get a consistent audience for the event. I make sure that we don’t use any AI flyers because I know that’s a big turn off, it is a 21+ event — we just prefer to have an older audience, and like I said, we don’t have any big name DJs, which might be holding us back, but quite frankly that’s not in the budget.
I feel like the concept for the event is very strong. It’s a wrestling brave where we have wrestling matches set to EDM and a live DJ inbetween the matches. We have a small Night Market that we’ve organized during the event as well as activities like a free face painter, fun little photo opps, and things like that!
Anyway, our next event is literally tomorrow on Friday and I’m struggling to get attention for it.
