haha welcome to the biz. august is the WORST month of the year. the only exception would be the first 3 weeks of jan. add to that this is the worst summer ive seen in my entire career. i guess it is country wide
make that world wide.
its is absolutely dead over here too. :(
first three weeks of Jan? I thought it was the first three weeks of Dec that were universally bad.
...in the clubs ....Quote:

Tonight was dead in Ohio, but I managed to snag one customer and made 200. Miraculous, cause it was slooooow.
the first three weeks of December are awesome, at least in my experience. January is the backlash of the awesomeness of December :)
August....
either the guy is on vacation (with his family)
he is paying off the vacation he already took
he is saving for the vacation he is about to take
he is work extra because he is covering for someone on vacation
he spent the weekend at a beach house and is partied out
bachelor party season is over
^^^^ Dead On!!!

How dare them spend money on things for themselves, instead of on me... J/K!
;D
Seriously......it's scary. I went in yesterday and there were 25 dancers and literally ONE customer. I am so done with summer.
This is when I consider myself lucky that I dont work the club anymore... thank god i've developed a strong base of regulars... though the girls havnt really been bitching much.. I think its touch and go at the clubs here right now.
yeah a lot of girls in my club have been fighting with each other in the dressing room about customers... I can't stand girls who think they "own" customers.... its ridiculous.
Hehe.. i've been trying to convice a couple of my regulars to go with other girls and not be mine and only mine... I cant stand it when girls think they own customers ::)
Haha! Is that's what's going on? Yesterday was SO horrible! At one point, there were 6 or 8 girls and ONE customer who was sitting in the back watching tv... We still had to go on stage! I made all my money off two regulars. I just kept thinking how totally screwed I'd have been without them! :P
In the club where I hang out, even the waitresses are starting to complain about the low number of customers.
I had not trouble finding a parking spot on a Satuday night near midnight, which is even after the swank, new after-hours joint next door is starting to get its danceclub crowd coming in. That's the first time that's happened without there being a snowstorm or something happening.
Dont forget they have to put back money for school shopping for the kids.
Labor day is also coming up. Alot of people go to the beach or lake.
My August was slightly above average last year. Its December that sucked for me. January wasnt that bad but not great either. Im hoping for a decent August; its started off so great.
oh, forget the first week of september. I've already planned to take that week off. That's torture.
I just started so I dont know for sure but a girl at my club thats been there for 16 years now said that it usually picks up like the second week of September. I hope so!
Hey it just came to me!! LoL
The gas wars probably are playing a HUGE part in the super slow time right now... I dont know about anywhere else but here gas is like almost $1.30 a litre.... so I think that may be causing people to avoid the clubs a bit...
dang gas prices man....its up to 3.05 for a gallon of unleaded here......prolly worse in other areas though
Same in Canada....Quote:

But if that teeny amount keeping them out, fine by me.
I'm new to the business but I really think it has to do with vacationing because my other line of work (my day job) that's why I'm sooooo busy in the summer is because everyone is taking vacations because their kids are off from school so since everyone's taking vacations, they need me to work there to fill in for them. I really think that's why it's slow in the summer and probably the most in August because everyone's getting ready for going back to school, maybe taking the vacation that they didn't at the beginning of summer, going out and buying school supplies, getting the kids settled down and back in the school mood, etc. It'll pick up, just give it a few more weeks!
Or he is buying clothes, school supplies and/or college tuition for the kiddies.Quote:
