Selling Champagne rooms online.
Just to give some insight, a few months ago I relocated from Cocoa beach fl to Deland fl. The new club I'am at doesn't get nearly as much traffic as my old club does. It's mainly just locals who feel entitled to extras. It's hardly worth working on the week nights, you're lucky to make $100 Mon-Wed night and unless you have regulars you will make nothing on day shift. Since this club is much less reliable than what I am use to, I figured I would think of a way to maximize my money and utilize my time at the club more efficiently. When I worked in cocoa beach, many of my best customers lived in Orlando fl (1 hour away) The reason why they made this drive was because in Orlando there is a law where the dancer must wear pasties and she can not touch you at all while giving a lapdance. In Cocoa beach it is topless and full contact lapdances. Deland is only 30 minutes from Orlando and is full contact and bikini, however management is very lenient about girls being topless as long as they are in the private dance room/ Champagne room and not on stage. So my Idea was to make a website for myself that would have professional photos of me in stripper attire and maybe a brief video introduction about myself. On my site I will say that I work by appointment only so they must call to schedule time with me in the champagne room at my club. ( I would get a work phone as well) I would explain all the specifics about what the prices would be for 30 minutes/60 minutes. I would have my website optimized so that when people search " Orlando stripclubs" or "central fl stirpclubs" mine will pop up and instruct them that if they want to see me they have to come to my club. I think marketing to Orlando will be my best bet since they are close by and my club offers contact dances unlike Orlando. At my club we must charge a minimum $150 for 30minutes and $300 for an hour. For every 30 minutes we must give the club $50. I was thinking of setting my prices at $250/30 min and $450/60min (a $50 discount if they by an hour) So after I pay the club their cut I would make $200/30 and $350/60. So my question now is what do you guys think of my prices for the rooms? Typically I do as many lapdances as the guy wants during our time back there as an all inclusive type thing. Also I would love to hear your feedback about what you think of my idea, and other things you think I could add to my website.
Thanks.

Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
Sounds great, hope it works!
One day I was bored and made a craigslist ad for myself at the club without a photo. I was flagged very quickly but I did get a couple responses and one guy actually came in and got a half hour of private dances.

Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
I was actually thinking about that too. Making an ad on backpages stripclub section and on Craigslist with a link to my website.

Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
I think they might be a tiny bit high for central florida but hey, may as well try. The worst that could happen is a guy will ask for a lower price and well, that will be your call.

Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
i think youre going to get tons of time wasters blowing up your phone and people coming in and expecting extras. i think your time would be much better spent travel dancing.

Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
While I initially liked the idea, having a website does sound like something that only an escort, private-party dancer, or perhaps a feature dancer would do. I bet you'd get tons of calls from guys asking if you'd be willing to dance for them at their place ("Let's cut out the middle man...").

Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
^That, plus you have no guarantee that someone who makes an appointment will actually show up, so you could end up wasting your time stuck at the club when they blow you off. Even regulars say they'll show up and then don't sometimes for whatever reason, so I could very easily see random men just deciding it's not a big deal to let you know if they can't make it, deciding against it in the end, etc. If the house fee is low and the club is one where you don't have to work a set amount of time -- ie., you could leave once x o'clock hits and a customer who made an appointment hasn't shown up -- then it's not a huge deal though.

Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
Like Charlie said, I'm sure people will ask me to see them out side the club, but I was also planning on having a detailed disclaimer saying that this website is only to promote business in the club and I will not be seeing anyone outside of the club. Hopfully a disclaimer that states my availability is only in the club and that there will be no sexual activities taking place will deter the time wasters. I also thought about what Shanna dior mentioned about being stood up on appointments. My house is literally located on the same property as the club I work at. When the owners bought the club it came with a house and since they hired my boyfriend as a manager they let us live there. So because I can see the parking lot from my front door I was thinking I could just stay at home until the guy arrives at the club. He can call to let me know he is there. At that time I will ask him what car he drives and with that I can confirm if he is actually there and meet him at the club right after. I could even put that on the website that upon booking I will ask what car they will be driving so I can confirm their appointment. Maybe if they know upfront that I have a method of screening to figure out if they are at the club they won't bother attempting to make fake appointments just to mess with me. Do you guys think the car screening before I commit to actually working that night would work? I was thinking I could also set up my website to take deposits on appointments but figured that could get complicated and would involve legal issues/tax information/business license etc not to mention I'm some guys wouldn't be comfortable giving there credit card info on a strippers personal website.

Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
I feel like you are going to get a bunch of time wasters doing this, and exerting energy that could be best used in other ways. Travel dancing would be a better use of your time.

Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
I think setting up an online payment system would be more trouble than it's worth, especially with the huge potential for chargebacks. Given your proximity to the club, it sounds like you've got it made for this set-up to work.
I could see a few customers being uncomfortable with having to call you (and thus giving you access to their phone number), but maybe you can get their car info in advance and just peek out to check if they're there at the appropriate time?
I'd be really interested to hear how this goes if you go through with it!

Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
It's at least worth a try to test and see if it works for you. Or maybe suggest to the club to have a website promoting the club and the dancers - that's kinda their job in my opinion but some clubs/managers are not so tech savvy.
If you do the website thing. Take into consideration the time it takes to maintain/update. Do you consider it the cost of business, will you factor that into your prices, or will you hire someone to do this for you?

Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
It's brilliant and worth a real try!

Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
I'm interested in knowing if you decided to do this, and what your results are? I do a version of this, but have a lot of no-shows. I try to stack my appointments so that if one doesn't show up, I have another scheduled in an hour or so. But I've been using my phone and making appointments with customers who met me in the club in the 1st place.
-
Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
I'm still in the process of making my website now. I'll probably have it up in the next couple weeks. I'll fill everyone in on the response to it once I get it up. I am also adding my amazon wishlist to my website and I'm going to see if paypal will allow me to go through them to accept donations on my site.

Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
Ok, it took me a while but I finally got my website up to advertise and book appointments for the champagne room at my club. Let me now what you think of it. (I know some of my main pictures are not facing the correct way, but I tried and there was no way to flip them. oh well.) Here's the link to it. Also feel free to share/pin/tweet the site if you want. I just launched it the other day so I'm trying to get it out there so it ranks higher on google. Thanks everyone.

Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
well good for you for thinking outside of the box! I bet you will get plenty of those wishlist items knocked off!!
-
Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
Good for you! I've always wanted to do something like this. It's actually surprising that most girls don't do this for marketing purposes and a means to keep in touch with customers and let them know your schedule or make appointments. Kudos! Also, if I were you, I'd look into getting an account set up so you can accept "donations" or "tips" on your site like a gofundme type thing if that is at all possible. Why not right??
-
Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
Tipthestripper, yes gofundme would be a great idea! I didn't think of that. Right now I do have a "spoil me" section but it just has my amazon wishlist posted so people can buy stuff and it will be shipped to me. I'm thinking about adding a blog section to my site as well so it's more interactive.

Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
hope it works well for you.

Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
I really wish my family/people in my personal life could know about me stripping because I would definitely do things like that and promote myself on social media!! Do you also have a twitter/IG to promote yourself?
Good luck with this! Let us know how it goes!
-
Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
I don't have those set up yet for my website but that was another thing I was thinking of doing.
-
Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
I am trying to set something like this up as well. Let me know how it works for you!

Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
I've had the sight up now for a few weeks now but haven't done alot to promote it. I had it advertised on backpage under the strip club catagory but I still only got calls from guys looking for an escort even though my ad made it incredibly clear that is not what I do. I still need to make a twitter, instagram and youtube chanel to promote it to the right kind of people. I tried making a Facebook for it but it somehow linked up with my personal Facebook so I deleted the new profile right away and have since been hesitate to promote on social media because it seems like now everything you do wants to post itself on your personal facebook. I'm thinking of doing some old school advertising and make 5x8 flyer type things and finding male oriented stores to display them in like barber shops, adult stores etc.

Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
Just to play devil's advocate, that is something that U.S. escorts do to throw off law enforcement - they insist in writing that they will only provide company / entertainment and that there will be no sex involved (because that's illegal here). And then they provide those services after an in-person conversation. So I can kind of understand why you've gotten a few guys calling you to see if you'll escort...
-
Re: Selling Champagne rooms online.
Charlie61, I have now figured out how stupid the guys on there are. I don't think I will be posting anymore ads to that site. I literally wrote on my ad that I do not escort, I only work in the stripclub and will not meet anyone outside of the club. It's not even like I put one of those loophole disclaimers that the prostitutes do because I figured by saying that I do not meet up outside they would realize I ledgitmatly only dance at the club. When guys would call and ask that id be like "we'll that was answered in my ad, did you read it? " ........uh no, I didn't read it. I just called. So do you fuck? I would just tell them that if they haven't learned how to read yet they are probably too young to have sex. And then I would hang up.
