What do club owners look for the most when booking a band?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Depending on the venue, it helps to be flexible. Can you play an acoustic set? Can you shrink a set down to 25 minutes? can you play a 2 hour set?
Also club owners want to see that you self promote. Leaving a "paper trail" of previous shows on the internet is a good idea. Does that make sense? Blog entries, flyers, videos (a online video of you playing to a large crowd is evidence you can fill a room)
I am not a club owner but I am a gigging musician with lots of experience booking shows and talking with owners

The more people you bring in, the more drinks the bar sells.
