1. I have seen a number of really wealthy Park Avenue residents who came to parade dress up and hired a crew to film them modeling their hats and outfit. Photographers and videographers made some money but not crazy revenue, mostly holding their purse and phone, supporting the wealthy individual posing with strangers and helping a rich vein person get fun content. Probably 300 to 800 for half a day of filming and the same revenue for
2. Second source of revenue I encounter for myself is selling my content creator services with billboards on Times Square and studio and editorial shoots. I gave away probably more than 500 business cards, I took a picture of a person and give a card, picture and a card, after I got home I uploaded all images on Google drive and those who get back to me I shared a link so they can download their image, that is relatively inexpensive way to promote yourself as photographer/videographer, advertising person. It takes very little time to photograph a person and hand a card, numbers game, or sales funnel. Basically if you take a great and you look somewhat presentable, it produces great leads, people get free good pictures and as reciprocity they subscribe to your social media and hopefully buy some services from you in the time thereafter.
3. Fashion shows for hats and winter clothes, it’s still kind of a cold in April in NY so modeling, scarf’s, eyewear, hats, boots, winter attire, watches, all that is somewhat easy and you get an audience. Next year I will do a fashion show at the parade, I already have two designers, one bag designer and one hat designer.
4. DJ music content gig: because this parade does not move it is easy to bring a speaker and play some music, I have my speakers and wireless microphone, next time I will bring my DJ’s and performers and will promote artists, singers, and guitar players on my roster during the parade. The advantage of this parade is its not moving, one location, you do not have to move constantly, anyone can come in.
