Landing Gigs As A Magician
As a wedding magician, you can have great opportunities in
marketing your skills. There are many ways for you to do that.
- For example, during the awkward period while waiting for the
couple's arrival in the venue of the reception, you can help
lighten up the tension by providing entertainment. Sometimes it
may take a while for the newlyweds to come to the reception, and
it is not a good and pleasant idea for every one to be in a room
that is full of almost complete strangers waiting for the couple
to arrive. A magician like you can help ease this problem, and
help people talk and laugh.
- In every reception, there is a DJ or a show band hired to
entertain the guests. However, a magician like you can be a nice
change from the usual dancing. While guests are eating their
dinner, you can give 45 minutes of laughter and fun. You can do
delightful tricks such as floating roses to offer to the wedding
bridesmaid.
- It pays to do some research. Can you find out if there are
many children that are going to be present at the wedding
reception? If so, then you can make a show for the children,
providing a nice diversion for them while their parents mingle.
- The tips above will bolster your record as a quality wedding
magician who has a good reputation when it comes to performing
on wedding occasions. However, if you are relatively free from
your wedding gigs, why not make some promotional brochures for
your target market. Your business card or brochure should say
that you are the "Magician for Weddings" and not just "Magician
for all Occasions." Your marketing brochure should show that you
are someone that is a specialist in the said market. Be the
wedding expert.
- You might want to make a small "wedding planner" brochure,
providing information on food arrangements, flower services, on
renting a tuxedo or gown, among others. In the brochure, put in
an article on how magicians can provide great entertainment in
wedding receptions. Leave some room for your advertising.
Distribute these to establishments that cater to such occasions.
They would be happier to post your brochure if you include their
establishments in your brochure.
- Make sure that customers can contact you anytime they want.
Give them your phone and fax numbers, as well as your website
and email addresses.
