Better gig types expect to pay a bit more than a pub. Having your pricing strategy dialled in is a great way to stand out from other musicians, trying to get the job.
Create three prices: the one off gig should be priced the highest, a four gig mini-residency should give them a little bit of a break on pricing, and a full on weekly residency should give them the best rate while still making sure to charge more than you would make in a pub.
what I love about this method is your typically get in at your highest price point because before they hire you for a residency or even a mini residency, they’ll want to hear you in action. At that point the one-off gig seems like the lowest friction point…
