More Advantages of Working with Entertainment Booking Agencies and Speakers Bureaus

  •  Representation by many agents makes clients see you as more professional, in demand, and desirable for their event or show.

You do not want clients thinking, “You don’t have an agent like all these other comedians and speakers and entertainers, so you must not be as good.” Do an internet search of your name. If you have 10 or more booking agencies or speaker bureaus that list you, you are off to a good start. If you do not, then many customers and clients will not know about you or think you are a good comedian or speaker. It IS a popularity contest, so being listed by as many reputable agencies as possible, greatly increases your popularity.

  • Entertainment booking agencies and speakers bureaus give you an enormous amount of FREE marketing, publicity, and promotion.

For instance, we support our comedians and speakers and entertainers with various social media – Facebook, LinkedIn, our website, and our blogs. We also market and promote our artists using industry wide databases, e-mail blasts, targeted marketing, and press releases. If the event is public, a good agency will even handle your call-in interviews for you. While you may have your own manager, it really pays you to have experienced booking agencies and speakers bureaus on your team.

  • An experienced booking agency and speakers bureau has many clients and knows how to market you and your talents to those clients and customers.

They understand your talents as a comedian or speaker or entertainer, they understand what you need and want, and they have an interest in getting you booked in order to make a living.  A good agency will work out all the details and legal implications for you and your performance according to your contract and rider: lighting, sound, transportation, hotel accommodations, meals, payment terms, selling your merchandise and how all that will be handled.

Why not spend more time with your family and friends and just enjoying your life? Besides, wouldn’t you rather develop your stand up comedy, your public speaking presentations, your act… than deal with all the things that an agency does for you… for free? Save yourself many headaches. Concentrate on what you do best and let booking agencies help you with what they do best!
