To be a party entertainer for kids is actually hard work. A party entertainer has to have a natural flair for drama and comedy.
He has to be charismatic, patient, entertaining and most importantly not afraid to make a fool of himself. And yes, he must have tons of energy to keep up with his hyperactive audience.
A party entertainer is hired for a kid's party to make it memorable and leave an imprint of gladness and fun in a child's mind.
It's actually a very rewarding job as kids are easy to please and very appreciative. All you need to do is make them laugh, engage them in games and magic tricks and keep them entertained for the rest of your show.
How to Get Lucrative Gigs as a Party Entertainer for Kids
If you think you can handle the challenges of this job, you might want to try becoming a party entertainer for kids and get rewarded with a hefty income.
To start building up your clientele, you should make yourself visible and reachable. You do this by marketing yourself. You can send out flyers and brochures with your contact info and services on it, magic tricks and other extras.
You can also advertise yourself in the yellow pages, newspapers and magazines. As the internet is a popular and powerful marketing tool, consider building a web site or more easily, a blog containing your contact information and party services.
When a client contacts you, be ready to ask certain information about the party. Ask about the nature of the party, the celebrators and guests ages, number of kids attending, time, date and venue. You also have to be informed about what kind of setting it will be; formal, semi-formal or a true blue kids party.
All these information will likely be the basis for the price quote you will give to the client. Normally, a kids party entertainer's fee will be based on how long the performance will be - the longer it is, the higher the fee.
If the location of the party is hours away and understandably inconvenient for you, consider asking the client for extra compensation to cover for gas or commute fees. The client will understand. If the location is near, you can also offer to audition for the client prior to the actual party date.
To reassure your prospective client, volunteer information that will cement his or her trust in you. Inform him or her about your past party entertaining experiences. Give references if possible.
