Bar and Nightclub Consultant Talk on Eco Dancing and Online Rez Sites

If your engagement as a bar and nightclub consultant is to increase marketing pull, whether it be through an eco-friendly change or redirecting business via the Internet, the challenge is ever changing considering the hype both get.

Which is why the recent influx of nightlife deal/booking Websites has me a little intrigued. Sites like NiteTables.com, ClubHost.com, VIP-Bottles.com and more are springing up in various top and second-tier markets faster than you can blink, each affording the ability to buy one’s way into a room and many offering a discount for VIP admissions, bottle service and more. They allow guests to check out the venue, see the requirements for admission (whether monetary, group gender breakdown or something else) and book everything right on the spot.” Check out more to improve your bar management services and marketing.
