THE CHIZZLE REPORT - THIS BLOG GOES HARD...IT'S REALLY THAT SIMPLE...

So you wanna be a CLUB PROMOTER? ...Peep Game

2008-07-08T10:28:00.000-07:00

People often ask me about being a "promoter"

Let me give some game on where the industry is going...

I pioneered email marketing (for urban nightclubs) here in Houston...the premise was simple:

- Get people to sign up for your email list
- Market events to those folks (thereby reducing your advertising overhead)
- Lower overhead = greater profits

5 years later...cats have caught on...everyone emails now...but you know me...I got to keep it real player...Even though lots of folk have computers...EVERYONE has a phone.

So here comes the CHIZZLE with DC2C (Direct Connect to Club)

You know what's really player about a phone number..

- You can CALL IT
- You can TEXT IT
- You can PICTURE MESSAGE
- You can (even) SEND VIDEO TO IT

,,,and did I mentioned...your phone is NEVER MORE THAN 3 feet away from you....vs your computer....Read more about how DC2C will change the promotions game NATIONWIDE

PROMOTING EVENTS in 2008...

2008-01-03T05:25:00.000-08:00

Once again...Urbanthang is raising the bar on promotion...check out the video above and see how we get the word out to Houston and beyond....wanna-be promoters killed the "email game" (email event marketing)...this time...they will have figure this out for themselves...

The MICROSOFT of the CLUB BUSINESS

2007-12-26T03:51:00.000-08:00

Urbanthang.com is the "undisputed" industry leader in internet-based entertainment marketing and software. We pioneered "the email game" (a.k.a email marketing) which instantly allowed club owners and promoters to reach "the mainstream" consumer...but now in a truly cost effective way! Traditional mediums (i.e. radio) used exclusively to promote events....have had mixed results...and tend to attract a "different" crowd. Urbanthang.com maintains that to reach true Urban Professionals the advertiser needs to be where "they are".

Thus, our unique mantra "JUMPIN' FROM YOUR EMAIL TO YOUR SOCIAL LIFE".

We still maintain Houston's largest and most disverse African American email list (over 50,000 unique email addresses registered since 2002). Now more then ever..especially with the stiff competition for clubs and clubs nights...advertisers need a "new" edge...URBANTHANG HAS THAT EDGE...

As we close 2007...let us update you on how we "continue to change the game!"

We have over the course of the last year, developed cutting edge technology which allows Urbanthang.com to reach customers where regular emails and printed flyers stop.

DC2C (or Direct Connect to the Club - http://www.dc2c.net) is the brainchild of Urbanthang.com CEO...BIG CHAD. This new web-based technology, allows "you" the consumer the inate ability...via weekly "Alerts"....to stay abreast of the hottest events in Houston and beyond.

You can also tap into exclusive VIP Perks including DISCOUNTED ADMISSION and even FREE DRINKS just by using your cell phone.

Additonally, our advertisers (club and business owners, local promoters,etc) can tap into an advertising medium unlike anything in the country. (AND THAT'S REAL TIZZALK...LADIES AND GENTLEMEN)

Let's take a quick look at DC2C....and get you up to speed!

My parting thoughts...Let's talk CLUB QUESTIONS...THE LADIES EDITION

- I alway wonder while watching the beautiful sistas in houston...why do they check the make-up in the car..and dart straight for the bathroom as soon as they get in the club?

- Why do some chicks have $900 purses (like a Louis,PRADA,etc) but have a ashy a*s NY&CO. WALLET?

- Why do the baddest chicks always come with they ugly,fat friend? (Making brothers have to convince they friends to "take one for the team")

- Why can't sistas buy their first drink instead of looking thristy?

- Why do the good sistas always mean-mug you in the club?

Just a little comic relief...ya know me...the fat dude with the computer...

Be safe and I will holla next Thursday....

It's on now Houston....

2007-07-12T07:39:00.000-07:00
