How is your holiday season wrapping up?
I have spoken with many DJ's who all say this years Holiday season is very slow compared to past seasons.
It is being reported that this years holiday season for DJ's is slower then past seasons which were bad years to begin with.
Living in Minnesota, our DJ season typically slows down November first to about May first. The weather here can be so unpredictable that Bridal Couples don't want to risk having their wedding day ruined by FEET of snow.
To make up for this, DJ's focus on corporate functions to fill those empty weekends.
I have noticed since 911 that the corporate world has also slowed down with having holiday parties.
The first couple December’s directly following the horrible 911 attacks, corporate events came to a screeching halt. Those that did have parties before 911 were giving away huge gifts like big screen TVs, DVD & Video recorders, Microwaves, but those same companies were giving away pencil & pen sets, mugs with the company logo on it or nothing at all in the following holidays after 911.
Then last year there was the whole "Politically Correct" controversy going on. Corporaterations were afraid to offend someone by calling it a "Christmas or Holiday" party so they discontinued holding the event.
I think that the corporations money men figured out that they can save a boat load of money by not having the events and no one really missed them.
Normally corporate events get booked long before the beginning of November, this year it seems to be a last minute thing. Today I booked a corporate event with only 11 days to prepare.
So how is your Holiday Season wrapping up?
