Encore One Presents is currently offering an opportunity to invest with our company to produce, promote and operate high-profile branded concerts, featuring Grammy-winning, Multi-Platinum selling artists. With a minimum investment of $100,000 we are offering quarterly returns of 10% to 15%. That would mean that in a year's time, should an investor continue to invest every quarter in a new concert, an investor would earn a 40% return.

Concert Promoters are responsible for producing the show as well as promoting it. We arrange for Artists, Venues, Security, Insurance, Advertising, Lodging, Catering, Meet and Greets, Airport Transportation, Radio Station Call-ins, Backline, Tech and Hospitality Riders.

An investor that provides funding for the production of a show receives their investment principal, plus agreed percentage of the net profits from the box office settlement. Box Office Settlement occurs immediately after the show. The investor receives the principal and percentage of profits in first position.

Your Investment Protected

First and foremost you don't need to send us, the promoter, any money. We'll provide you with a Concert Budget Sheet and Payment Schedule with who to submit the funds to and when. This ensures that there are virtually no possibilities of any misappropriation of funds. We don't want your money up front, we want the show to be produced properly. We're looking for a long-term relationship with qualified investors and when everything goes smoothly the first time, more likely than not we'll be doing more business in the future.

The Process Begins

Please Note: The following breakdown is a simplified version of a concert production process. While we want to provide a potential investor enough details of the opportunity to make an educated decision, we don't want to confuse people by giving them too much information, so as to overwhelm them. But it's important to understand that there are many other smaller details of course that go into a production. Also, please note that we will be handling each of the steps of the production, promotion and operation of the concerts while keeping an investor informed and up to date as the production progresses. At the same time, an investor can be involved as much or as little as they prefer, as in the reference to the terms silent or active partnerships.

1. The initial disbursement of funds will be the deposit on the artists which go to the Artist's Booking Agency, securing the Artists for the date, time and place of the event. Those funds are protected by bond and placed in the agent's Escrow account until the performance date.

2. Secondly, once the performance agreement with the booking agent has been executed and a signed copy has been received by us, we will now make a deposit on the venue. Up to this point the Venue has held the date for us on what is called a "soft hold" until we're able to confirm and sign the bands. Venues will normally allow us a soft-hold for a period of 3-5 days.

3. Now that we have the bands and the venue signed, under contract and deposits have been made, we can announce the show and begin our promotional campaigns.

4. Payments for radio, newspapers, social media, flyers and posters and will now need to be submitted.

5. Arrangements for Stage, Sound and Lights, Backline and Riggers will need to be made next. Normally all of this will be handled by one Production Company. In most cases, a 50% deposit would be made and then final payment closer to the show.

6. Closer to the show we'll need to make arrangements for insurance, catering, airport transportation, radio phoners. Although when doing multiple concerts per year, we'll have an annual insurance policy.

7. No later than 2 days prior to the show, all names of people requesting special guest tickets, VIP passes and backstage passes must be received by us. We make no exceptions to this rule, as the day of show requests are major distractions on what is a very busy day. In fact, even sooner the venue will need to know how many tickets we will need for radio station promotion winners, and media passes, etc.

8. At show's end, a Box Office Settlement will take place with the Venue. Both the Promoter and Investor are entitled to have at least 1 representative attend the Box Office Settlement and each party shall be listed as the payees and will be provided an audited report. In most cases, the payment is made that evening (if a Certified Check is requested as payment). When a bank wire is requested, the payment is submitted the next business day. Two seperate certified checks or bank wires can be executed, with respect to each party's agreed-to percentage of ROI.

PROMOTING THE SHOW

1. NEWSPAPER ADS
We will hire a graphics designer to design our newspaper ads. We'll submit our artwork for a 1/4 page ad or 1/2 page ad and schedule the ad insertions.

2. RADIO
We have a professional voice-over personality that we work with to record our commercial spots. We contact the appropriate radio stations, negotiate ad buys and produce our commercial spots, either :60 second or :30 second spots. We'll run our PAID spots right up to the day of show or until the concert is sold out. We give the radio stations an agreed number tickets and in exchange, the radio station provides us with live on-air mentions and radio station promotions. Those promotions will include the radio station's listeners text club, on their official Website, remote broadcasts and live call-ins.

3. SOCIAL MEDIA
We set up our Event on Facebook, Yelp, Twitter, and on the Band's Official Websites and their respective Facebook Pages. The band's marketing department will list our concert on their Website plus send out emails to their fan bases. These listings will provide a link to the ticketing website for the public to purchase tickets.

4. 4X6 FLYERS/POSTERS
Design our promotional flyers and posters. Then, we hire a street team to pass them out to local music stores, eateries and at similar concerts and events preceeding our concert. The artist's public relations and marketing departments provide us with official photographs and logos that we are authorized to use for design purposes.

5. MEET AND GREETS
To promote the show, we set up a meet and greet either at the venue or a music store where fans can come and meet the band, take photos and get items autographed. We schedule this on the day of show and in between sound checks for the bands. Most of the time the local radio station will come out to the meet and greet and invite listeners to stop by to win tickets, etc.

6. RADIO STATION CALL-INS
We arrange for the artists to call in to the radio station that we're running our commercials on, to talk with the on-air personality (DJ) and pump up the concert, encouraging the fans to get their tickets. This can happen anywhere from 1 week prior to the show or even on the day of the concert. When time allows, the artists will go to the radio station for a special 15-20 minute broadcast, allowing fans to call in with questions.

OUR OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES

1. BACKLINE
Backline is a term for the gear on stage that the bands need to perform. Keyboards, Microphones, stands, bass rigs, guitar rigs, drums, etc. Each band has a list of items that they don't travel with and those items are listed under TECH RIDER of the Performance Agreement. We'll contact a sound tech company in the area that provides this equipment, approximately 4 weeks out.

2. VENUE SOUND SYSTEM
The actual sound system that the venue provides will be noted in their Venue Rental Agreement or in a separate document called TECH SPECS or Venue Spec Sheet. We work with the Venues to determine what equipment they have and ultimately what we'll need to rent above and beyond that, if any, to fulfill the needs of the artists. This equipment includes sound system equipment, visual equipment, mixing boards, etc.

3. INSURANCE
Our Special Event Insurance agent is Haas & Wilkerson. General Liablity Insurance is required by venues, artists and cities to cover the audience, the venue and equipment. The normal requirement is for a $2 million Per Occurrence, General Liability policy that also covers fire, theft, assault, and damage to the venue. The actual cost of General Liability Insurance is determined by the expected attendance size, the genre of music and whether or not alcohol is sold at the event. Most artists require the insurance policies to run 2 days prior to the concert and expire 2 days after the actual concert. We pay for this approximately 1 week prior to the concert. No reason to spend the money any sooner.

4. CATERING/DRESSING ROOMS
Part of the Artist Performace Agreement are RIDERS. There's a TECH RIDER and a HOSPITALITY RIDER. The hospitality rider spells out the meal requirements, travel and hotel accommodations and dressing room requirements. According to most hospitality riders, the promoter provides meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner and beverages.) The riders make clear any dietary requirements and the times they wish to eat in accordance with set up and sound checks. The riders also list the items the artists require in their dressing rooms. Waters, Gatorades, beer, alcohol, meat and cheese platters, etc. "Strawberry Pop Tarts", demands one artist.

5. HOTEL & TRANSPORTATION
Another part of the HOSPITALITY RIDER is the transportation and hotel accommodations. We arrange for transfers from the airport (for fly-ins) to the hotel and from the hotel to the concert venue and back. On routed tours, the bands typically travel by tour bus and therefore wouldn't need airport transfers.

6. PRESS CREDENTIALS, BACKSTAGE PASSES, LANYARDS
This is our event and our venue for the night. It is our responsibility to issue credentials to appropriate parties and to control the traffic to protect the artists and crew members. Arnett Designs is who we've worked with in the past. They handle the printing and laminating of the passes, plus custom lanyards. We need to distribute the passes for Artists, Crew Members, Photographers, Media, Our Staff, plus the VIP Meet and Greet contest winners, special guests, etc.

7. BMI, ASCAP, SESAC
Performance Rights Organizations

8. LICENSES, PERMITS
City, State, Fire Department

INVESTMENT AND RETURN

Most shows we book will be 3 months out, giving us enough time to properly produce and promote the concert. So from the time we pay a deposit for the artists and venue it would be approximately 90 days until we get paid from the Box Office Settlement, after the show ends that night. However, only 50% of the artists fees and the venue fees are required that far ahead. Most of the other costs can be taken care of about 1 month out. Most venues will give us the option of Certified Check that night or Bank Wire the following business day.
