VIP closed for renovation - help!
My club's VIP area is closed for a month while they remodel and renovate the club (there will be a new VIP area, new DJ booth, ect.) which will be really cool once its finished. However, I made most of my money in the VIP and during the week or so its been closed so far I have seen my earnings drop drastically. Our VIP area is $200 for about half an hour (its based on songs, not time, and their is some differences in what girls charge per song up their - but it basically works out to about half an hour). Our regualr dances are only 10 bucks a song so you really have to work your butt off to make the same amount as the VIP and it takes longer because guys will generally only get 2-4 dances at a time. Any suggestions ladies on how to increase my earnings in this situation?

offer a 5-dance or 3-dance special, like, 1 is $10, 3 is $25, but if you do 5, it's only $40. then you are guaranteeing yourself more money. And who says they will even notice if you shorten up the songs a bit? if you are going to go this route, start mid-song so it's easier to cut out a half a song.
this may seem asinine at first, but it seems like it would help you out. make them see that the 5 song special is a deal. it;s like a buy 5 i give you one for free type of "bargain".

Is there any other clubs in your area that you could temporarily work at?

1. Take the hit for a month.
2. Work 2 clubs for a month.
3. Take a vacation.

Are there nice private corners in your club that you could kinda make it into a VIP? Like take the customer by the hand in a back area of the club where there's less girls, less customers and basically make your own VIP until the renovations start?

Thanks for all the suggestions ladies! I have actually been thinking about checking out some other clubs in San Diego so that's definitely an idea (but a vacation sounds really nice too ;D ). We used to have some more "private" corners in the lapdance area, but management has recently blocked them off because guys would demand that their dances take place in those corners because they thought they could get away with more there and apparantly some girls were letting them get away with more. So I guess its either stick it out and work the specials idea or start trying some other clubs. Thank you for all the help!
