When I first started DJ’ing many years ago, I had a big banner that advertised the name of my DJ service. I did a lot of school dances back then, and proudly displayed the banner at every dance. Later on, I was scheduled to DJ the wedding reception of a friend of mine. When I was discussing things with her beforehand, she requested that I not display the banner. “But how will potential clients know who I am?” is the thought that ran through my mind. But, I also believe that my customers are always right, especially the ones who are brides :-) . I didn’t display the banner, and haven’t displayed that banner since then.

That wasn’t my last sign though. A few years later I had a small sign made (1′ x 2′) that again advertised my name. I used it at weddings and never had any complaints. But, part of me felt like this was wrong. I get paid to entertain a room full of guests, not to spend the night trying to book more gigs through advertising. Afterall, if someone is interested, they will probably ask me for a business card anyway. So, I ditched signs altogether and am confident I made the right decision.

But, I’m still curious, so……..I made a poll. If you care to, please cast your opinio

Just for FUN!
