ANN ARBOR, Mich. - In this new day and age, social media and party promoters are working in the best interest of clubs, bars, lounges and many other venues.
Log on to your Facebook, Myspace, or whatever other social website that you are using these days and you will find party flyers flooding your inbox.
It's how college-age kids are making money these days. And different venues, from restaurants to bars to night clubs, are loving the new trend.
Every venue is different, though, in terms of how they are making money from these events. Some owners work out deals with the promoters, such as one party receives all the profit from the bar, and the other from the door. Others split everything 50/50.
Eastern Michigan University graduate and ex-party promoter, Melvin Moon, says that he made large enough profits to live off of very comfortably, thanks to a venue that gave them a re-occuring Friday night slot.
"Papi O's Nightclub (in Ypsilanti) was very successful for almost two years. In our second year of promoting, we grossed about $120,000. Split between three people, I think we did pretty well."
Other unlikely venues, such as downtown Detroit's iconic mansion turned restaurant, The Whitney, as well as lounges in the Fisher Building, have also become popular hot spots for college promoters.
