Many thanks for your suggestion.
I say I welcome any suggestions and and give them consideration and I truely do. The problem is replying to those I don’t agree with. I don’t want to appear defensive or dismissive. As with many sensible suggestions such as yours, I can see where you are coming from. However, I see things from a differant place, possessing information you do not.
I won’t defend the price rise as I have explained the reasons behind it previously and I don’t want to cover old ground.
What I will say is that without wishing to be rude, you are basing your opinion on a ‘few’ parties you have attended recently. I base my opinions and decisions on 16 parties weekly, every week and I have the full data on attendance, breakdown of newbies v returnees, numbers for this quarter against same quarter last year etc (bit geeky but used to be in management and had to do KPIs!)
Some simple stats are the first quarter of last year, when prices where £120, we were not full every party and in fact, averaged less per party than this quarter.
The week just ended, we had more full parties than ones with spaces and on Thursday had to have 8 girls at the evening party to cope with bookings!
As Stevie said, it is imposible to predict the numbers expected for a party as majority of bookings come on the day and no day or party time is consistantly quieter/ busier than anyother. Guys attend because they want to party with 7 girls and know they will, no matter how many other guys are there. Dare I say it, if they want to attend a party with less girls and cheaper price, they already have options elsewhere
Fact is that we believe the current formula works, stats back us up and whilst we never stop examining, we don’t want to change a formula that is working.
See you at a party soon
