Gone are the days when DJing meant hauling heavy record crates and vinyl turntables around to events. With digital technology, mobile DJ booths have become a breeze to transport and set up. The few pieces of gear you need can easily fit into a small bag. Add a stand to that and you can set up your gear pretty much anywhere that you can fit a small desk. You don't even need to worry about spilled drinks anymore since your gear is nicely set up in a tight unit. Perfect for partying!

Unpack your laptop, controller, headphones and cables from your flight case or padded bag.

Place your controller and laptop on top of the stand.

Plug your power cables into the surge protector. Connect your audio cables from the laptop to the controller and the controller into the main house mixer. Plug in your headphones and turn everything on.

Tips & Warnings

To promote yourself better, consider getting a banner printed out on a heavy-duty nylon fabric with your name/logo and website. Hang that banner from your DJ stand with string or twist ties.

If you are concerned about your equipment getting damaged by power imbalances, consider using a power conditioner instead of a surge protector. These devices regulate voltage and suppress noise in the electrical signal.

Advertising Ideas For a Mobile DJ Company

A mobile DJ company can work in various markets

A mobile DJ company can enjoy a wide range of opportunities, such as providing sound services at wedding receptions, corporate events and large parties or festivals, with the right business marketing and advertising. While traditional advertising outlets like magazines, newspaper ads and broadcast media are still valid, the Internet has opened up a new avenue of advertising. Combined with traditional advertising methods, modern technology can open new doors for a mobile DJ company.

As is the case with nearly all companies, past and current client referrals can factor heavily into the success of a business. Before and after an event, ask clients for referrals to others who may be interested in your services. This type of word-of-mouth advertising offers the added advantage of personal endorsement by existing clients for those who may not be familiar with your company.

Social Media

The Internet has evolved into a valid business marketing tool with social media leading the way. Utilizing websites such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace can allow a company to reach potential clients at little to no cost, as well as stay connected with past clients. Providing pictures, reviews, comments and even videos from previous events can provide new clients with a glimpse of your company in action.

Website

A strong company website is an important part of modern business advertising. A website can offer potential clients some insight into your mobile DJ company through pictures, video and satisfied customer comments. Details such as pricing, availability and options can also be included in website offerings. Setting up a company website can be accomplished for very little money and can even be free through some hosting services.

Traditional Advertising

While modern technology and the Internet are important advertising options for a mobile DJ company, traditional advertising methods should not be ignored. Print advertising, billboards, signs and even company vehicle decoration can offer valuable advertising options, as can simple methods such as business cards and flyers. Ads placed in industry publications can often reach individuals responsible for executive retreats, holiday parties or other corporate events.
