How can I bring people into my bar?
I have been assigned the task of starting and managing a bar in a Restaurant. No people come to the restaurant at night and we'd like to build a clientèle. Does anyone have ideas for how and where to advertise and what tactics are most effective?
Additional Details
It is in Bridgeport, CT. For those not familiar, it is not the best place in the world. There is a lot of poverty and the streets are usually empty and sketchy at night. But there are people that will go to specific places in the city. So, signs on the street don't help much. We need to reach out to people who don't live there. We've got specials covered, it's about how to inform people of these specials. We want a mixed crowd, but are trying to keep it upscale and classy. It's the way of the world, but we don't want white people being scared away by a bar full of non-whites, but we don't want ALL white people. If you know Bridgeport, you'd understand how it could swing one way or another and we'd like to avoid that.

Take a close look at the most successful bar in Bridgeport, or at least the one that you want to be like.

Do what they do.

1) FREE LADIES NIGHT
2) Offer free drinks for a night [u might lose money, but you will gain clientele)
3) Do beer specials on a certain day

good luck!


gopikap
give drinks for free..or dirt cheap.
host an event..like say worldcup on tv..etc
get some buxom girls to serve the drinks~!

Are you located near industrial/commercial areas? You might try advertising and offering free hors d'oerves and a happy hour.

Have a "Re-Grand Opening" and try to get a local paper to pick up on it.

Put a sign out front advertising your after work specials.

Live entertainment - psychic nights, etc.

ask the local radio stations if they'd like to host something there.... like an annual something-or-other. this one place where i live used to get NO buiseness until the station started saying how great it was, now the owner has told them to stop because she can't handle anymore. =)

I know Bridgeport and what you're up against. It's tough. Hire the best bartenders you can. They'll remember the customer's names and give an extra-heavy drink to the customers you want. Northeasterners want a place where they're known and a heavy drink. Check out Marios in Westport.

Advertise in the Trumbell newspaper.

Good luck.

Everyone in that industry knows about the hot girl rule. You have your staff mostly female. That brings in the guys. For the most part they spend more money anyway. ALWAYS have a ladies night. Thursday usually works best. Have half price drinks and at first do door prizes. If you say the words half off or sale to women you strike their interest. Where the women go the men follow. Best of luck to you!

Get some local area bands or a local radio station to come out. Maybe even allow the radio station to have it's own night during the week in exchange for free promo on air and plugs from their DJs.

Since you're wanting to target an upscale market, why not start with lots of marketing first to restaurant customers--maybe free drinks for 2 with a restaurant receipt, lots of advertising in the restaurant itself, especially of the opening.

Another place would be to advertise to upscale retail stores. Hold lots of events. I've always thought that a fun activity for an upscale club would be a version of a wine-tasting. I don't know about CT. but serving oysters seemed to be popular in upscale bars I've been in.

My suggestion--make a list of all the places your target market would go to and I bet you'll get lots of ideas from that--i.e. organizations as Lions Club, Rotary Club, college alumna, etc. I would also get demographics info from the chamber of commerce too--how many tourists, etc.

Depending on the type of crowd you want would determine the course of action I would think as well as where you would focus your advertising dollars. Would you care to expand and tell us a little bit more, like what state, city, what type of restuarant what type of clients you wish to attract.


billy
Allow girls age 18 and up to enter, but require guys to be 21. It isn't illegal. A lot of clubs require everyone to be 21, so girls under 21 would go to your bar since that would be one of the few places they could get into. Guys would be sure to follow, knowing that some hot girls would certainly be at your bar. Just be sure you are careful not to serve anyone under 21 by accident. Also, you could pay for a billboard beside the interstate that says "BUS DRIVERS DRINK and EAT for FREE" which would cause bus loads of people to come to your bar.


rossi
making a bar successful isnt about being fancy. its about building a reputation for yourself. maybe start by some sort of advertising so that people actually KNOW that the bar exists and then provide them good service. this way u can build a ring of regulars and at the same time have newcomers to explore your new bar. hope this helps. cheeers.

Put up a sign that says free beer. Then say "What sign?" when they walk in.

I run campaigns for a bar in Florida utilizing some of the latest techniques available. The costs are low, and the results unbelievable.
Please email me through my profile, so we can discuss your options.

Build an E-mail list, so you can inform your customers of upcoming events/specials etc...
