Dance Floor Lighting Made Simple and Profitable for the Mobile DJ

           Creating a fun and exciting atmosphere on the dance floor or the stage no longer requires a large investment in multiple lighting systems and trussing.  Statistics from the wedding industry have noted that the average guest list has decreased over the years and couples are seeking more unique venues to hold their dream wedding. Today's  barns, estates, boutique destination hotels  and tent weddings have become the venue of choice, requiring the DJ to have a more compact and limited presentation.   Constricted by ceiling height and performance space, the ability to set up elaborate lighting systems and trussing becomes more challenging. To meet this demand, CHAUVET DJ created the GigBAR 2 4 in 1 Complete Effect Light System,  an easy-to-use lighting system that combines all the elements of a full-on lighting show.    

  The GigBar 2 features a pair of LED Derby fixtures, LED pars, a laser, and 4 high-power, LED strobe lights all mounted on one bar. 4 individually adjustable and interchangeable heads let you cover any room or stage. GigBAR 2 strobes allow you to create exciting chase and slow-motion effects and the adjustable red and green laser scatters hundreds of bright dots and beams in all the right directions. Since it comes pre-assembled and quickly mounts on a single tripod pole stand,  set up is a snap and adding a black or white 3 sided scrim creates a level of professionalism and sophistication for any event. The foot petal operation allows for effortless on/off operations and can be easily placed under the table or off to the side.  Preprogrammed operational modes such as show and sound mode allow you customization to your presentation. Setup and teardown can be easily accomplished in less than 10 minutes and its compact design allows it to fit flat in the back seat of most standard size sedans or rear compartment of any SUV.

 

Ok so that's the simple part, but how is it profitable for a mobile entertainer you wonder? With a very respectable price point per unit, you can work with two options when  presenting a simple lighting package to your clients. As most DJs and/or live performers will offer an uplighting and dance floor lighting package, you can combine both options into one and simply increase the cost by 10% -15%.  I however, took a unique approach which proved to be more profitable than anticipated.  In 2017 I purchased a unit and offered my dance floor lighting package complimentary, as part of my various wedding packages. Anticipating a pricing increase, I simply added $100.00 to each of my wedding packages along with the option of the complimentary dance floor lighting package. At first I was concerned that it might reduce my number of bookings,  but my bookings increased by 20% over the previous year. Couples appreciated the fact I offered this complimentary as part of my overall DJ services. Even more impressive was the fact that 50% of the couples actually requested the lighting on their wedding day.  In the end, for a small investment, the GigBar 2 provided me with a unique and cost-effective alternative to dance floor lighting for my clients.  I DJ NOW offers a variety of options to choose from in packaging the CHAUVET DJ GigBar 2 for any size mobile DJ operation.
