    HI, not sure if this is the right forum but meh,

    ok so im after securing a job at the weekends as a P.R. manager for a city centre club in dublin, its known as a student club during the weeks but the management want a slightly older crowd in at the weekend.

    they have completely stripped and modernised the club and it is like a new venue. they have even decided to bring in new djs to make it that more appealing.

    now the problem is that im a student myself, but im at the bottom of the age group they are targeting (22 +) and i dont know how to make it appealing. i have plenty of ideas that can be done but they are for when the club has a steady crowd going in, it was those ideas that got me the position in the first place i think.

    so anyway people, how and what would be a good way to attract in the crowd in the first place, or how to promote it apart from the traditional method of flyering etc. ALL IDEAS AND INPUTS WELCOME.


    THANKS GUYS

    Make sure you sell over-priced alcohol - it'll be all the rage then

    Get on the DART on a Thursday morning and Friday afternoon in an illuminous tshirt, with the venues logo/name on it, bring 2 hot chicks and 1 hot guy with same tshirt on. Walk up and down the carriage with 1 tag per person that can be redeemed for 2 free shots with every €10 spent before 11pm.

    The days, time and location are perfect because, people on the DART are bored as feck....it will give people something to focus on while they commute, plus doing it at the start of the weekend, Ancient Mesopotamian city venue will be relatively fresh in their head.

    If they already intend to head out on the tiles, they will remember you, if they stand to get 2 free shots with every €10 spent they might take u up on the offer, if they do, they will get drunker quicker, the by the time 11 comes, the promotion is over and theoretically they may spend more.


    maybe, maybe, maybe.

    You want posted on a public forum good ideas - ideas that can be read by possible opposition and be adopted too?

    Depends where it is.

    Near O'Connell St = Dutchy on draught and an all night creche/tracksuit pressing service.

    Near Grafton St = Razor blades in the vending machines for all the failed property developers and investment bankers.

    Get a a good door team. They don't need to be big and scary, polite and sane.

    Keep a good dress code, day and night time.

    Offer bar snacks late at night.

    Never allow the club to pack out.

    Floor service during all times.

    Member of staff to great every customer at the door on arrival during the day and early evening.

    Do not do cheap drinks and specials. If you do then you will attract the students and scumbags. If people want to come to your club, price of alcohol won't stop them.

    Have a good balance of males and females (including bar staff)

    have someone drill 10 holes in a wall at different heights, from 2ft up to 3ft.
    find some gypsy beggers. pay them 3euro an hour, make sure to get the ones missing most of their teeth.

    this will be your free promotion, the holes will be known officaly as genital hygiene devices, you prob wont have to pay tax on it and it should be legal.

    you're welcome.
