Be aware of poser dj’s
We have been in the disk jockey and entertainment business for about 15 years now. We have maintained the same prices throughout the years. Although we are a lot more cost effective than others that are charging upwards of 3 times our fees just because they are affiliated with a media conglomerate that we will not mention but you all know whom I speak of. Those are not the ones that affect our business. Not even close even though you may expect them to. The ones that do are what we call posers. These are people who call themselves dj’s. Undercut us real entertainers by hundreds to thousands of dollars. Looks great to the customer at first because all they are worried about is saving a few bucks.
Well I am not saying you must spend a ton in order to get quality but you do get what you pay for. What totally kills me is this. These posers’s call me up to borrow my equipment. If I am lucky they ask to rent it. How many times do you think that has happened though? These guys talk themselves up and run the best of us down. Then they come to me to get the equipment to do the show they undercut you on. What a joke.
I have taken a stand against this type of thing. W no longer rent our equipment to these so-called disk jockeys. We refuse to make them look better while taking a hit on our own end. Now we will watch them fail and hopefully the customers see this and have a better idea of who to use next time.
