How To Book A Celebrity Appearance?

Having a celebrity appearance can make your event a high profile and increase the potential attendees. Aside from that, you can capitalize on the photos taken from the game itself as marketing materials for other commercial purposes!

If you are considering booking a celebrity for an event, you must know that the process is not as straightforward as you think: these stars have dedicated time to their schedules and will prioritize them. Moreover, you have to pick the right celebrity for the event; they must fit altogether, the celebrity guest and the game, or risk a massive failure. 

Knowing the process of how to book a celebrity appearance will lower the difficulty of you finding the right celebrity for the event. So, how do you book a celebrity appearance?

Budget Is Everything. 

How much are you ready to spend to have a guest appearance in your event? Celebrity rates vary from $7,000 to $1M, so be prepared to pay a hefty amount to ensure a celebrity appearance in your game. What you can do is deduct all the expenses from the central budget. The remaining money can go to entertainment.

Are They a Good Fit?

Imagine having a celebrity for hire ending up in an event not suitable for him/her. That would be terrible! You should consider the right people to the guest first before implementing the decision. You wouldn’t want George Clooney in a nightclub event, don’t you?

Connect With Their Agent.

It is highly unlikely that you will directly get in touch with the celebrity, but instead their agents, or in the rarest case their manager. There are several things to understand about dealing with agents. In dealing with an agent, be straightforward with your request, and make sure you know how to follow up. You should also be able to negotiate the quotation offered by the agent. Chances are you’ll save a lot of up-front charges.

Ease Up the Process By Hiring a Talent Buyer.

Talent buyers are fixers. They can ease the gruesome process of hiring a celebrity. They know the right personality for a specific event, and as well as their rates. A reputable one will already have an established relationship with stars, and they can use that to your advantage. For a price, of course.

Having a celebrity to make a guest’s appearance may be a little bit tricky, troublesome at some point. However, once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty simple and straightforward.
