Ok I have a weird one for you guys...
So, a buddy of mine in Austin has a promotions/marketing firm and just recently aquired a new account. This new account wants a pretty much complete makeover of what they are doing and he is asking me to help him out. Now, this is not exactly in my wheelhouse but I figure it may be worth giving it a shot. After looking at their business I have determined there are some HUGE opportunities to totally rework how they engage with customers. I also have looked at 20+ sites of businesses in the same arena and they ALL have absolutely awful marketing and don't utilize technology in any useful way whatsoever...
Now here is the kicker... the business... SUGAR'S UPTOWN CABARET! Here is their current website http://www.sugarsperfect.com/sa/ which is just awful. (I won't really be doing anything with it, just wanted to show you what the place is) OK, so I was hoping to use this thread to bounce some crazy ideas of you guys and see what you think is crazy and what is good. I'll post more in a sec. |

Conceivably the messaging system could have a password that the stripper only gives out on site. However, that relies on two things: the customer not putting the password out on the internet for the leering masses, and the coked-up stripper being able to remember the password. If the first thing happens, you'd have to reset the password and shut out everyone.
Or maybe she has cards to pass out that each have a unique and pre-approved password. That way she doesn't have to remember, and if some greasy customer gives out his password and a bunch of cretins stop using it, you just shut off access for that password.

IF the phase 2 of the page would include webcam services... then the deluge of peepers 500 miles away would be a benefit and not a detraction. Quote:

By "news" I really meant "recent public updates". Basically they can communicate publicly and privately one on one. The public general communication would go there. Similar to the Facebook WALL. I don't expect daily updates but something every few days would be reasonable for them.. it's up to them really. They have their own financial fate in their shaking little hates. I didn't think about the "vetting" process for customers. We'll need to work on that. One possibility is to require them to sign up using their "VIP" number.. which is free for this club, basically it's just a loyalty card system just like a restaurant uses. I really don't like adding a hurdle like that to the system though. One option is to allow anyone in and give them a simple one-click IGNORE option when/if they figure out a "customer' isn't worth the trouble. |

http://profiles.myfreecams.com/LacyLuck She had ineternet issues once, so I went over to fix her system and once it was done she had to test it and it was freakin hillarious. In a few seconds of logging in there were dozens of guys all asking who the guy was(me) and if I was there for a "show." BTW she is a total sweetheart, really smart and knows how to work the guys for cash! She is actually on board for giving input and testing on Phase 2 if we ever get there. She actually wants me to make a custom iPhone/Android app for her if I ever get time. Sorry, that was somewhat off topic. |

I realize you said you weren't messing too much with the site itself but something else that could happen would be that anyone could access the page, register, and set notifications. Those with a VIP card, get additional access to say... softcore photos or even JO encouragement audio clips featuring their favorite girl.

For the mobile app could you have it set up to show each girl and have a link to a blog that is set up for each one. She could update the blog when she gets to work and let people know her schedule that way. It seems like that would be simpler. Just have the girls name and picture that links to the blog. Users could respond and interact via the blog which would keep them from having to go to the site or having to use text or email. No "paper trail" that way.

Overall though, I think you are basically thinking the same way I am on this. |

only problem is under phase 1.. there aren't any direct sales. The customer would "buy" access with points earned from buying booze/food from the bar over time. It would be a nightmare to try to reimburse girls from that money... not to mention probably a violation of some kind. I am thinking that many of the girls would just do it anyway to expand their customer base. Not sure though. I'll ask my buddy, I'm sure there is a way to compensate them. Maybe the ones who customers "spend" the most on get top site billing and preferential pick of what promo events they want to go on. (where they make damn good money without having to get nekkid)

For example... Stripper Bo Peep would do a minimum of 2 shoots that are unlockable via the website with the use of the VIP card. Have a button or a link called "Wanna see more?". From there, she can upload as many sets of pics, videos, audio that she wants... then charge for access to that additional content. Proceeds from that additional content is split between the girl and the club. Not only will she make money by adding content herself, it would line the pockets of the club, AND it would likely increase demand because now that the guys have bough all the pics, vids, and audio... they are gonna want to have the real thing squirming in their laps. |

I think you are really onto something for phase 2 though. The key would be a "contract" making sure they still go to the club X number of times per month or some sort. For phase 1 I think they could "buy" small things like pic sets but videos and more would be for phase 2. |
