Marketing Begins At Home

A friend who DJs in clubs around Fairfield County Connecticut told me this story.

A DJ friend of his was working a club in Greenwich, CT. Unbeknownst to him, a record company exec was also at the club. At the end of the night, the exec went up to the manager and demanded payment for every song the DJ played which his company owned rights.

The exec then started shaking down other club owners in and around Greenwich, Stamford and Norwalk.

And now most club owners in Fairfield County are declining to hire DJs, preferring to bring in bands or just let the jukesbox play.

Real smart, don’t you think?
