    Default regulars and tipping

    I've been looking at some things that I could improve on, and it seems to me that two things are acquiring more regulars and getting tipped more at the end of my dances, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I give great dances so I often get repeat dances, but won't get tipped much and although I have some who come back to see me, many don't. What am I doing wrong? I'm not ripping them off and I try to make them feel special, but obviously something isn't working.

    Any suggestions?

    I have the same problem.. I'm a great dancer on the stage (I've been told it and after 6 years, I would hope I am), but I don't make too much on stage. I'm more of a couch dance girl and although I have many regs that come to see me they don't tip me on stage..
    I just figure since I am making money in the back I am going to stick with that. It seems odd that I am a top girl in the money making department, but it does get lonely on stage. It 's either one or the other stage or dances, and since dances pay better, I'll stay cheerful.
    Please don't lick me, it tickles..

    Some men are just not that desperate enuf to have to "regularly" attend the stripclub. Plus some people look at "regulars" as people who come in weekly, or monthly. There is a girl at my club who has a regular who comes in once every 6months. He spends a few thousand on that trip, but he's just as "valuable" to her as her customers who visit more often.

    I'd rather get another dance from a customer, than a $2 from them anyday.

    There is nothing wrong with you..it's just that some men don't feel the need to be a regular customer. Think about it..it really does cost ALOT of money to actively come into the club and become someone's "regular"

    Oops!!!! Sorry I misread that! You meant at the end of couch dances.. he he
    My club isn't all that big on tipping at the end of dacnes.. some guys do and some don't...
    One thing that has worked in the past at clubs where the guys do tip is to ask, "so do I deserve a tip?" and then the giggle..
    Check out a few threads on this topic, I remember one froma while ago that was pretty good..
    good luck!

    IMO, it depends on the 'culture' of the club itself. Some clubs people are active tippers before or after a private/lap dance for whatever reason it is part of that club's 'culture'. As for cultivating regulars, do you have a website and mobile phone (with voicemail) ? Does your club (and local laws) allow you to give out business cards with your website address on it (then list you number on the website always letting calls go to the voicemail so then you can decide whether to call them back or text them or just leave it) ?

    If you can't give out business cards, create a rememorable web address as you will be surprised as to how many guys will 'look up' your site after seeing you at the club ... just that they will think of you the next time they visit.

    The greater majority of customers are not regular.

    thanks guys. I've had a few nights where I did more dances than anyone, but didn't make the most money because the other girls got tipped more and I find it kind of frustrating. I'll do a search for tipping. I want to find a way to imply that a tip would be appreciated without sounding like I expect it.

    usually if I've done a dance and I think I did a good job, I'll say ( after they ask me how much and we are through ) " It's X and I'll leave the tip up to you."


    That way your letting the guy know that for your job well done you think he should offer a tip. Works usually all of the time and that way you don't sound all that greedy.

    Hope that helps, good luck!

    I agree.Stating to others that you did great is boastful and is bad luck.

    I did'nt know that! I thought you just don't tell then so you don't have to worry about them being jealous of you!

    Ehh, what the others say is true: Most likely those girls who claim to be making more than you, even when you did more dances, are bullshitting. LOTS of girls like to try to make others feel bad in hopes of making themselves feel better. But at the end of the day, they're still poor hustlers with thin pockets. Don't think for a second that any girl who does fewer dances is making more than you. Experience says she's NOT, in 99.9% of cases. Guys just don't tip much on dances because they think we're making enough already

    Now, if those girls who sell few dances are doing something else during their "dances", they very well could be walking out with as much or more than you. But that's a whole other enchilada that I'm assuming you aren't interested in competing with.

    Having some way to contact former customers and remind them you exist is a good way to develp regulars. A lot of girls at my club give out their cel phone numbers. I don't like talking on the phone, so I use e-mail. If a customer and I have great rapport and he lives in town, or visits frequently, I'll give him my e-mail instead of asking for his. That way it's his choice to get in touch with me if he wants to see me again. (I really don't want to waste my time or energy chasing down someone who doesn't.) There are also little hints you can drop to get a customer thinking about coming back to see you. For example, when a customer says a dance is his last, I'll say "OK, I'll just have to wait til next time!"

    As for how to get more tips on stage, I only wish I knew. I'm a great hustler, sell many private dancers, and have plenty of regulars, but almost never get tipped on stage. In Texas, stage isn't where you make your money anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter. It does get lonely up there, though.

    A couple of girls I've known that would brag about how much they made at work were selling drugs. I guess they counted that in with their dance money.

    In Utah, there's only stage money, so I have to get creative when people aren't tipping. Depending on the crowd, I do different things. If there are people that look bored and are sitting at the tip rail, I'll tell a semi-dirty joke, or tell them if they don't cheer up, I'm going to do the chicken dance/running man/any other dumb dance move. That doesn't work, I do the chicken dance/running man/any other dumb dance move. If guys aren't sitting at the tip rail, I'll still make massive eye contact with them, if you stare long enough with bedroom eyes, *most* guys feel like dumbasses for NOT giving you money. There's other things I do, but that's a start

    I have a problem with regulars not tipping me onstage but paying me in the vip area. It doesn't make sense to me, he will tip other girls on stage, just not me. I've even noticed that when I make him get a dance from one of my friends, he will tip her for her dance, he doesn't do that for me. What makes it even worse is that he always buys me horribly ugly outfits, and wants me to wear them for him even after I have expressed my dislike for them. Wouldn't you think that since he expects all these "extras" that he would compensate me monetarily? What have I done wrong here?

    Since he's not giving you money or not very much "dump him" for a while. Totally blow him off and make him come back to you, make him want you. Once he sees that when he comes to the club and you don't give him attention because "you're too busy" even if you're not, he'll start spending again. The thrill is probably over for him and that's why he's spending more on others. You have to give a little then pull away, give a little, pull away to keep him guessing and coming back for more. At least that's what I think anyway.

    Re: regulars and tipping

    As far as tipping after a dance, I have a girlfriend at my club who uses the line "Ok, it will be $25 for the dance, and remember: Gentlemen always tip!"

    It works probably 75-80% of the time. Even if its a dollar, its a dollar you didnt have a minute ago!

    I have to ask here is attempting to squeeze a few extra bucks out of a customer on one trip worth the potential consequence of forgoing his continued business. I suppose in certain scenarios like you work in a tourist area where its likely you'll never see him again, the answer is perhaps yes.

    Of course, this particular topic deals with regulars who by definition are repeat customers. Call me nuts, but in that situation, the mathematics of a few extra bucks versus repeat future sales seem to be a no brainer.

    The only problem witht that is he doesn't frequent the club unless it is verified that I will be there. He doesn't come in ever if I'm not there. He will shoot me a message a week in advance saying he's gonna come in on say, thursday, and ask if ill be there. Ill message him back telling him yeah ill be there on thursday, cool whatever. So I can't exactly tell him to come in and then ignore him, that is more rude than I am down with. But I kinda have done something similiar, if he pisses me off when he's there I will go give other people dances and intentionally stay gone for longer than necessary. Didn't really work though, then he just expected me to bust my ass cranking out dances for the time I missed. I think I've just ruined this whole dancer/regular relationship thing by making it to easy for him to think of us as friends.
