    Default Working right after payday

    I've had more than one customer tell me, "oh, you've got to work after a payday" or "you should work the weekend after the first or the fifteenth, after guys get paid" I've always just sort of acted really thankful for the tip and said something like, "oh, you're right! Oooh, I've never thought of that before!" but, I've never noticed any huge increase in my money around that time. I mean, it would be a guy who was living paycheck to paycheck, and also so many companies pay their employees at different times.

    Has anyone ever noticed a boost in sales around a payday?

    No, I haven't. And I especially love guys who think they know our job better than we do.

    no i haven't

    because
    #1 (like you said) people get paid at different times
    and
    #2 (most importantly) any customer who's going to "make my day" probably isn't the kind of guy who's waiting for his paycheck to hit.

    Not really around payday, but seasonal changes are biggies.

    Depends. If people get paid on the 15th/30th scale, the 30th is the one you don't want to be around for, it's usually bill payday. The people who get paid weekly are already in the club anyway. So yeah, people get paid differently, but it appears the 15th-17th are the best working days.

    I unusually make the highest amounts during the last 3 days before the end of the month and the first two weeks of the month. Do I work the day after pay day - not always and I'm not superstitious about it either.

    I agree with Pretty_Penny too.

    I agree with that. I used to play working around paydays (especially in a military town) but what I've found is that the days/week right after the first is rarely good. I've had been luck during the second/third weekends of the month.

    In some areas, working right after payday is always good. Military towns, or blue collar clubs/towns especially. I often do well the first weekend of the month and in the middle of the month, in any place.

    Something like 90% of the population lives paycheck to paycheck, so it follows that 90% of our customers live paycheck to paycheck. Most of our customers are not independently wealthy, hello! Even most of the guys with money are mostly living paycheck to paycheck. Most of them have bills to pay by the first of the month, which is why the clubs tend to be slower at the end of the month. Add the fact that all the strippers come out in droves to pay bills at the last minute at the end of the month, and that makes for some generally crappy business the last few days of the month.


    I didn't post in the current shitty weekend thread(s) because I had a good weekend, and it was the first weekend of the month

    I try not to work during those times b/c they are also when bills are due. Especially rents and mortgages being due around the 30th-1st or 2nd, that means a ton of girls trying to work to pay their bills.

    I agree with the 1st and 15th thing. At my club, we get a huge influx of military guys on those days, even if they are weeknights. I think military guys tend to be the easiest targets for me. I live in Hawaii and I'm one of only about 3 white girls at my club, so that may be why I do so well. I also tend to wear my cowgirl outfit those days because its a big hit with the homesick military guys.

    For me, there wasn't much difference the weekend after the 1st, but there was a pattern of making less the weekend after the 15th.

    It really depends on where you are. In Texas on Fridays a lot of the construction guys would get paid in cash and would blow a decent amount in the clubs. I mean, they weren't throwing it around with abandon or anything, but they'd buy 4-5 dances apiece, and a club full of guys doing that on a Friday afternoon is significantly busier than at most times of the month.

    I totally relate to the homegirl from Hawaii. On Guam, you know exactly when the boys in the service are getting paid and you try to work the few days that follow. Some guys are so loyal, they'll practically help you schedule your work days around their paydays. I love it here for that reason!

    Yeah... it's an old thread... but... I have numbers to share. I think all of you other nerds like me will appreciate.

    I kept track of my earnings for 10 months (149 shifts) at my last club (west coast of florida). I found my average earnings for each night of the MONTH, and calculated in a 5 day moving average (which smooths out the spikes on the graph.)

    My ten best nights were the 16th -20th and the 27th -31st.

    It's amazing how two groups of days shone above the rest, all right next to each other.

    Other days of significance were the 4th and 5th of the month, which were the lowest.

    Haven't worked enough days at my new club to have any accurate information.

    I am a dork. <-----I choose to take my bow stripper-style.

    Hmm I did the same thing but did not notice a pattern. I onlyhave 5 and a half months of data, though, so maybe there is just not enough there.
