We recently connected with Da’Shaun McIntyre and have shared our conversation below.
Da’Shaun, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. How do you think about vacations as a business owner? Do you take them and if so, how? If you don’t, why not?
I can honestly say that I haven’t taken a vacation in about 3 years and it sounds crazy to say. I used to take multiple trips throughout the year. I do agree everyone needs a mental break at some capacity; however, I also understand that it will take you longer to reach your goals when continuously take breaks. I believe when I do finally take a vacation not only will it be well deserved, it also won’t be detrimental to my company or my employees.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
My name is DaShaun McIntyre and I am the president of Mac’s Big Party Entertainment Services Inc. I started this company not only to help people with their party and event needs, but to also help and educate people about the music industry. My father loves music, and with him being diagnosed with dementia I felt like it helped me feel closer to him more and more. I tell people all the time that music is not something you hear but something you feel. I been in the entertainment industry since 2015 doing nightclubs but after Covid, I knew I needed to make a shift and adjust in the new upcoming market. Once I made that decision, I went and spoke with my mentor and he helped me realize what it would take to be successful in this industry of djing and how to take it to the next level. My company currently provides music entertainment for all types of events and well as interactive entertainment such as Photobooth rental and dancing on the clouds. I plan to continue to grow the company so not only could I help clients in their needs but also providing an opportunity for other vendors to network and work alongside my company. I want past, present, and future clients to know that I take pride in you selecting me for your event no matter how big or small and I will try my best to make sure that people enjoy themselves regardless of the event.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
As a man of faith, I couldn’t have begun this venture without guidance from the man above, the blessing of my family and my relationship with my business partners. I pride myself on showing all clients that I’m trustworthy, that I am a man of my word and that I pay attention to details surrounding any event that I am booked for. In working with clients I make it a priority to cultivate a high quality experience that they will not forget.
Where do you think you get most of your clients from?
The best source of new clients has come from a variety of outlets. From referrals from previous clients and from guests that have attended events I’ve been blessed to DJ at. I’ve worked really hard alongside my business partners to rebrand myself on social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and Tik Tok for additional exposure as well as the establishment of my website. I of course also have to credit my family being my biggest cheerleaders and always spreading the word about Mac’s Big Party Entertainment Services. Word of mouth is everything in this industry!
