FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
First, before I get into detail about the pricing, I have to make it known that, I deejay for the love of music and making people happy and not the money. Now with that being said, I have two affordable and reasonable deejay event price packages for you to choose from. The first package is only $700. The package includes me deejaying the entire event. If your having a wedding it includes me deejaying the entire ceremony, reception and more. The package also includes me emceeing , hosting, and making announcements at the event. As a bonus, the travel fee, setup, and breakdown of all equipment is free. My prices are competitive and also negotiable. For example, Im willing to cut you a deal if Im a little bit out of your budget, but you still want to book me. Im flexible and willing to work with you on negotiating the price. I deejay for the love of music and people and not for the money. Im even willing to allow you to set a price that you can afford and I will be willing to look over your offer and give you feedback as to whether I can accept your offer. Secondly, before I get into detail about the pricing of the second package, I want to reiterate the fact that I deejay for the love of music and making people happy and having fun and not for the money. Now with that being said, my second deejay package is $1,000. The deejay event package is a combination of deejay and picture photo booth services. The package includes everything listed above but also includes a photo booth. The photo booth detailed package includes unlimited, high quality, 4x6 instant and automatic print out pictures inside the photo booth. The photo booth price package also includes lots of different props, and once inside the photo booth there will be an assistance helping with other details. In other words. You choose a prop, then you enter the photo booth, take a picture and before you leave out the photo booth the picture you just taken will be instantly printed out for you to view. You will get a deejay and a photo booth combination for $1000. Just like the deejay pricing alone, the deejay and photo booth combination pricing is negotiable. If you really want the combination of the two and the pricing is slightly out of your budget, once again Im very flexible and willing to work with you on pricing. Thanks Deejay Lorenzo
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I have several unique processes for working with new customers. The first stage of the process is all done online. When new customers view my online information, I try an give new customers a sense of my work style and personality characteristics beforehand by providing lots of detailed information about me online before we even have the first point of contact. I give lots of detailed personal experience information about me on my thumbtack profile, my personal website and my social media facebook page. This detailed information will give customers an understanding of who I am before they even meet me. I try to give as much detail about myself and my deejay services as I can. I want the customer to feel like they know me before they even talk to me. On the other hand, I like to read and research the customers profile to understand there wants and needs. I want to feel like I know them as well beforehand. Having this information makes it easier when we do eventually talk because we feel like we know and trust each other enough to exchange personal contact information. The second stage of the process is talking on the phone. The phone conversation will give us an opportunity to go over more event details and just to see if we will be a good fit for each other doing business together. I try to keep the communication up beat and friendly on the phone. Giving the customer my undivided attention and listening closely to their wants and needs. Listening helps the customers feel at ease and trust me. Once the trust is built with me, they will likely move into the final stage of the process. The final stage of the process is to fill out a contract agreement and put down a deposit to secure the event date. This is the typical process for new customers all written down in detail.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have so much work experience and training related to the deejay career. First, the love of music is an inherited trait from my fathers side of the family. My father had the best sound system in the neighborhood and it sounded good. He had amps, speakers, receivers, and even turntables. His record collection was second to none. He had many crates full of albums. His collection includes soul, rnb, jazz, and gospel. I grew up listening to a wide variety of music being played by my dad on his sound system. It was only likely that with that much music being played around me, that when I grew up I would become a deejay. When I turned 8, I started my own music. I had a boombox with a tape cassette player. I couldn't afford the tapes in the record store so I just recorded the music from the radio onto blank tapes. Recording multiple songs from multiple stations became my first official mix tape at only age 8. I would take those mix tapes and sale them to my friends and family and save my money to get my first deejay sound system. I had one turntable that was built onto a speaker and one record. I would sit in my room and practice scratching on that record. When I got older, I started working at a record store called Willies tapes and records which added to my deejay experience. My duties included selling tapes and cd's and stocking the shelves with the hottest and newest musical artist. I was getting discounts on music so I had all the latest music and had great knowledge of music. I also saved and bought better equipment which included bigger speakers, a receiver, and two turntables with a mic. On the weekends when I wasn't working at Willies, I would deejay house party's , baby showers, and other events in the neighborhood gaining more deejay experience. As time past, cassette tapes were going out of style and apple ipods and mp3's were coming into existence. I knew I needed computer experience in order to keep up and understand the vast change in digital music so I entered into a computer college for I.T. training which also helped in my deejay journey experience. In college I learned about computers, digital music files, mp3's, digital music software, and more. Other lessons included digital turntables, and online deejay marketing. After graduating with a 4.0 gpa, I got into online marketing more in depth. I set up a website, got some online business cards and started advertising through free websites like thumbtack and Facebook. Twenty years later, here I am still in the deejay business. That's my education and training in depth detail.
