Bar Promotions are essential for most bars to stay open these days. They can make your bar go from empty to full, but coming up with new bar promotion ideas is not always easy. Although a tough economy may not affect the bar industry as much as other industries, it can still get tough to bring the people in.  Bars, clubs and pubs all have to fight to keep people coming back night after night. Before getting into some ideas for different bar promotions, lets examine the main reasons for holding these events in the first place (aside from the obvious ‘making more money’)

• Increase Customer Traffic – bring in new customers and keep current customers coming back.
• Get Customers to Come in Earlier and Stay Later – fill those empty afternoon or early evening hours.  By entertaining customers with different bar promotions and bar contests, people will stay longer and spend more.
• Create Buzz- by putting on cool new bar events, people will talk, resulting in more customers on non-event nights.
• Match or Beat out the Competition – stay ahead of your competitors by doing something a little more fun / wild / crazy / cool than they’re doing.
• Reward Regulars – bar promotions give the bar a chance to give back to their regular customers.
• Creates a Lively Atmosphere – without regular bar promotions, its not only your customers that are getting bored, its your staff as well.

One of the first strategies used to promote a bar was to hire entertainers to be there. Whether it be musicians, dancers, DJ's, Karaoke, Party Hosts, or a trivia MC, we represent many local professionals who bring the atmosphere that you want and the crowd that you need in order to keep the new and regular customers staying longer and coming back more often. In addition to bringing the right entertainment for your event, we also create and distribute print and digital ads to get the word out.
