Making Money at Our Events
We do events in order to help artists and models connect with the public in a united way. Since the Texas urban scene is still up and coming (like many other major urban areas around the world), it is not easy to make money when we are solely dedicated to helping independent artists. as you can imagine, if we pay, say, $8,000 to bring a well known artists to an event, then that name attracts people who collectively would likely bring in $10,000 or so (as an example), leaving a profit (less other event overhead). But our artists don't have the kind of name recognition that brings paying people to our events, so we have to spend a good deal of money and time to get people to come out on your behalf. sometimes we break even, sometimes we net a little profit after expenses, but sometimes we lose a little, too. Samsona Corporation is a sponsor of ours, so we can absorb those cases where we lose a little.
we don't mind doing a deal where we pay artists a percentage of money for paying fans they attract on their own. for you, you're mainly focused on spreading your brand at minimal cost (and hopefully make a profit). but again, Texas is not quite Cali or New York, so it is still an effort to condition the public to want to pay money for up and coming artists without a strong name recognition or regular radio play. our goal is to help make Texas a better, more profitable network for all indie artists.
