Have a look – Venues in Kent
August 25, 2012 at 3:55 pm #1257371a few suggestions as your site looks like a mainstream venue hire advertising site.
This is a very prominent international rave site which is closely monitored by the domestic and foreign authorities, landowners and the security industry due to having historical links with unlicensed music events in rural areas. linking your site to here may impact on your company brand reputation as there has been mention of illegal events in Kent, and folk whose businesses have been affected by them might not want to use your services!
I assume that you have looked over the site before posting your sales pitch, perhaps when you were younger you liked raves and clubbing and that made you consider event management / venue hire as a career.
From personal experience getting a venue to accept a dance music event isn’t that easy – they are associated with a boisterous, young crowd with a high level of alcohol and illegal drug use. As well as the obvious Police / Council concerns (which can lead to these authorities “leaning” on a venue not to accept a booking) there is more risk of damage to the venues décor, fixture and fittings.
IMO all the venues on your site are way too nice and blinged up and if you put 400 ravers half full of horse-powder into them the bulk of these places would get trashed. not even through malice but just carelessness and accidents.
worse still there is a culture of young people who have repeatedly been refused venue hire outs falsifying details to get them and thus holding medium size raves in wholly unsuitable surroundings.
I wouldn’t even consider hiring one for a rave, it would be disrespectful to the folk what built up these businesses and their interiors.
If you can however sort out a sideline which can arrange licensing using TENS for something like a unused industrial warehouse unit that really would be handy for the rave crews – a lot of them don’t have the skills to get the TENS license or want to concentrate on the event, although I’d also research this carefully as if you are acting as a promotions agent the risk liability for health and safety might be passed to your company (check with a lawyer, this is complex stuff).
otherwise I can’t see how being on here is genuinely going to help your business. Let us know what you want to do as if you think its not the right place to advertise I can arrange for your profile to be removed.
