"besides the generic posh look and feel?"
I'm sorry, but your "DJ Skills" have nothing to do with packing a club.
Most venues want to make money, SPECIALLY on a friday night.
They are wondering if you have a following or not, to know if it will allow them to profit, the music you play or how well you mix is not important to them.If you have no following, they will find another DJ period.
If you have no following and you are just starting, what you need is a consistent concept for the night and start bringing people in. You want people to come? bring DJs with a following from out of town, do it enough and you might get a crowd going.
I think it's normal that DJs start their own night and they work day and night to promote it, promoting is hard and in my personal experience its very competitive and very unpredictable, all it takes is another guy like you, with a better headliner/ soundsystem and you will be missing 200 people on your next event.
I doubt there is a formula for this to be honest.
