Ominous Sign for the Go Gos
Change in Business Model?
Last night went to Pin Up. Somebody important (a Thai girl, maybe related to boss) birthday. Because once she took time to greet me and pour my shot from the iced bottle, since I was the only one in the club with bottle service. Last night she didn't offer me a piece of cake though. Selfish. Looked to be only about 70-75 girls deep. Far cry from the 120 girls from previous visits. Those 10 day contracts are not getting renewed as girls are dropping like flies. Saw a few models that were decent. Still 5,300 (3000+1500+800 drinks) not including your own drinks for ST doesn't seem quite the bargain anymore, especially if there is nowhere to parade the trophy girls like before. Nobody was being barfined. Chilled with a taller cute leggy one that I may get later on, but def not in a hurry. Afterwards stopped by Palace which had 6 mamasans working but only 25-30 girls. 2 of the mamasans are from Bliss and some of the girls as well. They even had their Bliss uniforms on. So Bliss is now shut down, maybe others to follow. I think the owner had to combine the girls because business is that slow. I suggested that he used Fahrenheit as his ONLY club and combine all the girls from every club he owned and use both floors. Make it like a USA strip club with girls having to do what it takes to make tips inside the club. Stage is for shows. Set up some private VIP darkened areas and let their hands and mouths start making some tips with lap dances. He needs to probably follow the same business model of Hong Kong Club in Tijuana and use those rooms adjacent for sex. Rebrand it like a party everyday with some cheap ass buffet. Or even go Thermae business model and allow freelancers to work from the club. You want to be able to steal all of Soi 6 and Ibar customers. Make and sell some VIP cards. Open up at lunch time and afternoon just like Hong King Club. One big party from opening to closed. Charge a cover for food and entry plus one drink if you have to. This customer base of expats will come eat and let the girls work their charm. Charge girls to work there once it gets popular. Whatever you do, use Fahrenheit. It's the best in terms of space and looks. If you have a better venue than they do, you need to be able to deviate from the norm, change and adapt. Whatever it takes to survive and grow. Basically supply is down as demand is down, because like I said before tourist traps need tourists to trap. The mamasans are always asking me when are they coming back. I told them honestly, it's the end of the world as they knew it. The old Go Go business model is pretty much dead. Time to change?
P.S. This is good time to get LINE contacts from the Go Go bar girls and bang them for 1500-2000 outside the club when they shut down again.
