Entertainment Resources, Inc. is pleased to offer an array of professional services customized to your needs and budget.

As each event is different, so too are the ways that we can put 30 years of solid experience and our contacts to work for you.


Programming: Based on a careful assessment of needs and budget, we will prepare for you a list of options. Our extensive listings, constantly updated routing schedules and information, and personal relationships with top national and regional artists and managements assure you of lowest possible fees and prompt service on availabilities and technical issues. This service is free of charge to clients who book talent through us.


Booking: Once you've selected the artists, we prepare and issue contracts covering all aspects of the date. We provide promotional information, recordings, photos, etc. and we review with the buyer and the artist all the technical aspects of producing the date in the specific venue. We generally receive a commission of 5-15% of the talent fee for this, depending on various factors. We're always happy to discuss this in advance of a booking.



Talent Coordination: This is a separate service that often overlaps with booking. It involves making certain that all of the requirements of the buyer, the artist, and the venue are met successfully and cost-effectively. An artist will often have many and specific needs for providing the best show possible, including technical needs, hospitality, transportation, accommodations, and more. We'll figure out what's most important and help you wade through the maze.



Promotion & Marketing Services: People have to know about it! We can help with publicity services such as announcements, press conferences, releases, etc.; direct mail and Internet; and advertising placement in print and broadcast media.

Production Services: Hiring a great act is just the first part of the process. Frequently, sound systems, lighting, back line equipment, even stage and stage roof systems have to be set up for a show. We can assist you in securing the best production vendors, carefully matched to the artist and venue, at the lowest possible cost.



Sponsorship: Sponsorship is the fastest-growing and fastest-changing area of marketing today. Opportunities abound; but to profit from sponsorship in this mercurial environment, you need an inside track to opportunities, trends, and competitive information. Sponsorship is the only form of marketing that is mutually beneficial to the business community and to the local and regional community of their consumers. We can help you target and acquire major sponsors and underwriters well-matched to your objectives.

Operations: Parking, concessions, box office, security, vendors, grounds, electrical, volunteers? We're there.



Staffing: Good people are the key to successful events. If you need us to find them for you, we will. If you have good people, we can train them for event-specific tasks.
