hi nairalanders, am taking over the management of events in two popular clubs in lagos and i need new ,frseh ideas of themes around which we can package events on club nights.i.e what would make clubbing more fun, whats would make the average guy on a friday nite want to part with say 1K to go clubbing,? whats the extra twist one can add to an average clubbing experience to make pple want to come back again , am open to all realistic suggestions thanks,peace

STRIP clubbing

skipo not everyone will approve of that and there are already certain clubs you can go for that in lagos ,cmon guys give me lovely ideas,peace

not going at all, having fun with friends and family,

Get a good preacher man and makes sure he makes alter calls and
collect the 6 time offerings as the beat goes on.

Pole dancing. The dancers need not be naked nor half nude. also the more FINE girls the more guys would be interested. I dont agree with no-charge entry for females cos then there will be all class of girls. Even the wo-wo local chicks.
SORRY

Seconded!

Understand d work "markerting", go on air, bill boards and all. Get tight artists 2 perfon live,
cheers

Very good DJ who can really feel the pulse of patrons and churn out good mix of music to keep people excited, even if they're clubbing alone.

Easy access to the bar, especially during peak hours. You need professional and dedicated staff to achieve this. Nothing fouls a clubbing experience like stressing to get a drink and disjointed flow of good club music.

The key to a successful club, above any infrastructure and innovation, is excellent personal service. The goal is to make the patron happy and appreciated, and they will spend and come back to spend more.

This takes the majority,let your DJ be highly skilled and up-to-date

Apart from a good environment and location, the life of any good club is the DJ. If he is talented and knows the right vibes to play, people troop in. Your gate fees should be reasonable too.
Sample this tune from Sonique to know what am talking about:

iice:

Ladies night - free entrance for ladies. . .more ladies, more guys
Dancing competition. . .
Drinking competition maybe some upside-down bong!
If someone/company is promoting something, try having them promote in ya club. . .(know what can work in clubs - not everything can be promoted there)

What is this? a secondary school party? what a ridiculous idea.

Increase your marketing,
make a lot of noise.
Get yourself on the radio, meet popular presenter and be their guest on the radio.
billboards,
happy hours,
make it a celebrity hangout,
DJ competition
school dance competition(won't cost u much to organise)
loads of stuff to do

@baba4life,

I have seen it, not all,almost all cool4any has got the right words i will just add the main of it all which is the permit me to use the word aesthetics of the design in the club.you could get a website for club aesthetics.

I went to this upscale club in Manhattan a few years back that had some really cute shot girls in skimpy outfits. Firstly, the club was cladded with plasma screens everywhere.
Also these dime-pieces for shot girls were secluded to the VIP area, engaged in friendly convo and kept the drinks coming.What was fascinating was, in the VIP area was a huge aquarium only devoid of fishes. As a matter of fact, the closest thing to marine life in this aquarium were the two chocolate bombshells in mermaid suits swimming across the entire length of the aquarium from one end to another. They had their hair down and swam like mermaids, creating a fantasy.

Bro, I tell you, the impression this left to me was lasting and while the music was blaring, the drinks kept pouring, the ladies looking right, I’m around my friends and we just absorbed at nature’s finest.

So in answering your question, the ultimate club experience besides the good music and beautiful females (my perspective at least) would be to incorporate an idea that would linger in the minds of your clients years to come.

You dey fine mamiwater for club? Dem plenty for barbeach.

Not this coming year, partner. It's straight up worshiping God and stacking money. I think my playa days are over now, it's time to get serious with the ever present God. And paper chasing ofcourse, God's willing.

na naija we dey, u want make dem move ur stuffs

common bring selebrities to perform life from time to time, ladies nights,have some free drinks, do promos, strip dancing(have an extra hall for these n people who want that can pay the xtra and go watch, entry fees for both men n women, have a snooker contest, etc

, one important thing people always overlook is SECURITY

am not talking about BOUNCERS at the gate but proper police security, whatever name its given to avoid embrassment

it has made some ppl hav phobia for night outings

more ladies---more cheddars for the bread :p

The reason why I go clubbing here in Liverpool, is because of the music. I listen to hip hop, but my friends dont, but we all still go to the same club, becuase they have three floors catering for all taste in music, I don't know if music taste is a big issue in Nigeria, but here it is.

Girls that are ready to chat to guys are also good, even nights when I am not on the pull, the ability to have sensible and sometimes meaningness conversation with girls/even boys are great.

Reasonable priced drinks is also a good idea.

The latest thing with the clubs in my city at the moment is they have a boys nightout and a girls night out, the same day, but different floors with all catered for (sex not includede)

What about a live band or try and tempt some celebrity to your club

laughing ma ribs out.

Music,the DJ must be talented to feel the pulse of those gyrating and definately up to date.
Drinks,organise your workers in such a way that drinks are provided on the spur of the moment not having to run after a waiter and start wondering if the waiter had to board a cab to get drinks.
the unforgetable advantage,create an atmospere where peeps keep coming back like making sure a celebrity arrives at the hottest period of the night.
Security,na this one they disturb peeps pass,u definately don't want your clubbers after having an hectic night to discover their car has been towed.
then finally ,enough of both sexes gyrating on the dance floor which also comes back to the ability of the DJ to get peeps jumping to the beats.i consider it an eyesore for only guys to be on the dance floor harassing themselves instead of it being the other way round.or few girls being overcrowded.

since my school days,i dev phobia 4 niteclub because of d insecurity.
some bdguys just draw metals n take life anyhow. a rdio stn in Abuja talks about clubbing n musik, n vry wkend u dont hv 2 ask which club.
Real artists performing live is interesting.

you guys have been very helpfull (even the useless posts revealed alot) watch out you will get to knnow which clubs soon enuff by the time you begin to see your suggetions come to reality , who knows we may be having the first nairaland party at my club next year, however keep the posts coming in however security and artistes hanging out have been taking care off so lets see more ideas on what would make you never forget the experience and what would bring you back , thank you all

Assured security
I will only leave my house at night when I am sure I will get back home in one piece.

A DJ who does not get carried away on the job doing his own thing, without feeling the pulse of the crowd

Ok prices on your liquor, If you have a small high-speed cafe, that would be a plus

happy hour for booze and ok prices!!!
a good dj is a must

Why dont you try a club and a casino

Having a club down and Casino up , and probably add bowling.

Most clubs in Seychelles have this , and it pulls a lot of crowd.

Am sure this wil be new in Niger , and guys will wanna feel the casino experience.

free E tablets at the gate,, and maybe a cheap mixture of chelsea+don simon=cheq simon!
