How to ensure my profile is ready
Here are 5 tips to ensure your profile is ready:
1. Request for reviews
In this era of information sharing, clients will look to see what your former clients had to say about your performance. Through verified ARRIVE reviews, you will be steps closer to landing a customer. Of course, you have to complete bookings via the ARRIVE platform if you are to get a review. For this reason, if you completed a booking on the ARRIVE platform and the client didn’t leave a review, reach out to them to have them write one.
2. Videos of your performances
Most performers will hire a video shooting crew to shoot a promo video. They then stop at this. Oblivious to many, customers are actually after live videos to guide them in making the decision to hire you. They realize that promo videos are in most cases shot and edited in a studio so it might not be a fair representation of what you can offer when live. For this reason, ensure that you add any live videos you may have (especially those not on ARRIVE). Additionally, in your next performance, invest in a good camera and a portable mic for good sound or you can do it on a phone. However, ensure you have permission from the event’s organizer before you ensue
3. Testimonials from outside clients
Testimonials are the quotes that you get from existing clients or customers who you booked outside the ARRIVE platform. They are further proof of what you can offer. However, ensure that you have recent testimonials as these will show customers that you’re active
4. Song lists of songs you perform
You probably play a wide range of events including weddings, private events among other functions. Customers will want to see your group’s Song List to determine your style and to also see if you play their favorite songs. For this reason, having a big song lost will give a potential customer more choice and increase your chances of getting hired.
5. Photos
Photos also work towards helping the customer understand your style when performing. For this reason, include as many photos as possible on your ARRIVE profile, especially recent ones to guide the customers into selecting you for their next event.By having a fresh profile on ARRIVE, you actually improve your ranking plus your customers see that you are active. If you are yet to join ARRIVE, register and have your group’s site promoted to venues and the general public in North America
