venue is an ideal location to host the national finals and
showcasing talented look-a-like lip-sync performers (and tribute
bands) then booking the very best for shows, charity events, and
promotional tours throughout southern California
and around the country.
The 4th and B venue
features a full bar, state-of-the-art sound, plus advanced
lighting and visual projection systems. This
21,000 square-foot concert and dance venue has been a mainstay of
San Diego's
music scene for more than a decade. Performances span the gamut from
blues, rock and jazz artists to hip-hop, punk, metal, alternative
and country bands. The facility can accommodate 1500 and features
private party booths and VIP space with bottle service.
America’s
Lip Sync Star National Search™was designed to provide the venue operator with a unique
opportunity to receive free publicity and build customer traffic on
a slow night over the eight-week contest period. Under normal
circumstances (with an appropriate advertising budget), standing
room only (SRO) audiences can be obtained by week number five (5)
and should hold at peak levels thereafter, provided the event is
promoted and conducted according to the national guidelines.
Once you have established SRO the first eight week contest cycle the
next cycleshould begin
(week one) with a significant crowd without any additional external
advertising.
Few events exist that offers the opportunity to provide a highly
successful entertainment promotion and enjoy a low risk profile at
the same time.
America’s
Lip Sync Star National Search™offers a low risk profile
and high energy entertainment as a routine. The benefits are:
·
Attract New Customers
·
Increased Revenues
·
Winners Represent Your Venue in all Appearances
·
Attract Capacity Crowds Consistently
·
Attract Free Press and Media Exposure
·
Increase Traffic on Other Nights of the Week
·
All Contest Materials Supplied
Clearly, the attendance of the contestants, their friends,
supporters, curious spectators and media exposure will greatly
increase revenues on the night of the event, particularly if the
contest is held on one of the traditionally slower nights of the
week.
An added benefit to venue operators is the entertainment
possibilities of your contest winners performing on other nights of
the week. These lip sync performances will not only promote contest
night, but will draw additional customers on other nights of the
week just to see their favorite look-a-like performers on your
stage. Usually these performers will be happy to come and entertain
your customers for the experience and exposure.
WHAT DO I GET? Years of
experience has proven that our multi-week lip-sync contests generate tens of
thousands of dollars in free publicity for participating operators and
associated sponsors. We have implemented the same marketing campaign that was so
successful in the past to today’s new search.
To maintain the integrity of the
promotion each venue operator is licensed to conduct the promotion according
to the national guidelines. A standard license agreement
applies to an eight (8) week contest cycle and is renewable for as long as you
wish to host the promotion. The number of licenses granted in each city is
limited in your area.
Each venue
operator will receive what is called the "Black Box"
a package containing all the promotional and marketing materials needed to host
your contest.
